It seems to be an unusual color combination - very nice. This is my first "antique". I have always LOVED old cars and have window shopped for years and years. I used to spend hours as a kid detailing any car I could get my hands on. This 68 seems to be a "twenty footer" but has some road rash and rust (some in front fenders but mostly inner rear quarter panels). Most things work. I drove it up yesterday from Panama City, got 8 miles per gallon averaging 75, and loved every minute of it. The drivetrain appears strong and shifts smoothly. I am pretty sad today because it is raining its A** off out there and I can't take it out to play. Don't know what I will address first in the repair area....I may just enjoy it as it is till the spring. Hopefully the winter will not be so bad that I can't take it out a few times. |
