You guys are all funny... Haha!!
The 1968 RS was a friend of mines.. He found it in a back yard unmolested...
Its a 327 car with a 4 speed on the floor, and hideaway headlights. Its original color interior is black, which is near perfect, and has new floor boards now, new quarters on both sides, new front fenders, new door skins, and the frame was taken off and restored with pur 15 by my friend. its was all sand blasted too!
the top needs some work as it had a vinyl top on it, which another one will go on. the glass is all original, its says astro vent on the glass.
What I need still:
New gas tank
new fuel lines
new brake lines for 4 wheel drums with 2 port master cylinder
new center front black hideaway grill with emblem.
new rear chrome tailights.
new side view mirrors
new headliner
new vinyl top
rear r/s gas cap
front and rear bumper new chrome, or have mine chromed
new tires with rally rims
new door handles
hideaway headlight electric motor kit
That should be it!!
Any body have this stuff PM me!
