I had a 68 400 convertible 4 sp. after high school (76 to 78) and loved the car.. 2 years ago, with my wife's blessings I found another in Monterrey CA. Of course the dealer oversold the car in a lot of ways, but they didn't know or advertise it as number matching engine and transmission, and that made up for the bondo layers... You can fix metal...
It's been a labor of labor, and a lot has been re-learned since.
And to a wonderful surprise, the floorboards, rockers, trunk, were all in near perfect shape with no rust.
I did replace the left front fender, rust patches behind the read wheels, and a rust patch on the right front fender... A re-do of some body work and a DIY paint job.. Lots of power coat, new suspension, and more.

When I figure out how to post images, I'll share them.

While this wasn't a Frame Off Rotisserie restoration, it was a TLAR "That Looks About Right" restoration.

My old green one, the california red car, and it's new Porshe Mamba Green skin...

Welcome! It looks like you have been busy. Is it going to be a driver?
