JM,
I guess we have a lot in common. I have a project 67 I am getting ready to start on.

I had two over the years:

The first was a Malibu that I got right out of the service in 1971. It was a 327
with a factory 3sp on the floor. It was a fun car to drive. I had to sell it due
to money woes and still miss it.

The second was a mint SS 4 spd. this was in 1982. I had to sell it for the same
reason as above.

I found another one last year. I did not pay much for it. It came from one
of the northern states and would require massive metal work. It does have
a solid 12 bolt and a good top skin. The friend,I got it from, is an engine
builder and racer.

He called me a couple of months ago and asked me if I was interested in
another one. Of course, I said yes and wound up buying it on the spot.
The only rust through is on the front pans. It is solid and tight. The main problem
is an ex-vinyl top. I hope to use the one on the parts car. I have done several
restorations and have my own shop. The restoration was started by a local
body shop. My friends cousin had bought it to finish the restoration. He needed
to sell if for the same reason that I had to sell both of mine. I guess the wheel
finally turned and I was on the other side.

I have a couple of projects to sell to get started. Age is catching up with me but
I think I have one left and it is going to be for me. My heart is in the 67.

I noticed the truck in the background. I have a 70 cst, same trim package,
that I have had for 38 years. It is in my heart also with a lot of memories.

Good luck,
EdB
