not much more detail to give, its just a survivor, plans are to revamp suspenstion and brakes (Hotchkis tubular A-arm's, new prings and convert to power disc because the manual drunms are a bear to stope with)

Would be great to see ALOT of photos of a truly original, low mileage car. Photos would be a valueable resource for others' restorations.

Good looking 'bird.

Are you sure you wanna jack with an all original, low mileage survivor...? That car should be worth a relative fortune as is.

Looks good, especially if you say it's a survivor, and not a resto. One minor detail, move your front license plate up...use the bottom two screw holes in the plate with the front bracket for '67. It'll look a lot cleaner.

It's your car, do what you want. On the other hand, it is worth more unmolested.

I like to see original equipment cars kept stock. You could always sell and get something nonoriginal for less money to modify.

wow. very nice survivor. Are you seriously thinking about altering it from original? It would be a shame to lose a car like that. Is that the original paint? it looks even nicer than what's on my car. Not too many cars like ours still out there.

Great looking car. If you want a weekend warrior to swap engines and such, there are some out there to do so (not in original condition). Each dollar that is put towards altering could be considerd a dollar less in value... Just an opinion similar to BetWinner and others.

I guess I could be considered a molestor then. But I started with a incomplete car that needed a ton of work. I am working on upgrades in the steering,suspension, and brakes. But, if I had a car that was complete and in that shape I would leave it as is. With that being said it is your car do as you wish. If you do start changing things on the car at least save all of the stock parts so it could go back to original if you ever changed your mind.
