1969 Tuxedo black with LeMans blue interior (will be changing the interior to blood red) it's 350ci/350hp #'s matching car with a 4spd and factory sidepipes. I brought it home last night, so pics didn't come out that good, I will take some pics later and post them.. Looks to be a pretty easy restoration, mostly all body and cosmetic stuff.. Nothing like I did with the Rivi.;)

That'd be a fine lookin' machine.

I can't drive those old Muncie's for jack squat though.

Awesome, I had a ’64 for a while. It was such a beautiful, iconic car but I hated driving it. It was a complete turd and far to original to go ****ing with. I ended up just selling it (one of the few cars I’ve made money on). I’m not sure why you are changing the interior color on a #’s matching car (unless somebody already changed it) but if it’s just for chitz-n-giggles, I’d go with a nice tan/peanut butter interior. Take it down to bare necessities on chrome and then put a booming system in it. And for christs sake upgrade the suspension on that thing. My ’64 had more body roll than the Raptor. Oh and post up some pictures of that bad boy. In spite of me dogging it out, I’m really jealous. It was cool to watch the look in peoples eyes when they’d see it. You could tell it had a profound effect on a certain generation of folks. It’ll be fun.

Since I graduated HS in '62, that would be me. And, for sure, those eras Vettes were dream cars for me. Never got one but have always loved 'em. :thumbsup2:

Been grinding on a guy with a local 2001, but he won't come off of 45K.. I can find a final edition 04 for that price, if I'm patient.. The right one will come around!

That'd be a fine lookin' machine.

Thank you sir! The muncie feels like it just wants to have the crap beat out of it.. We'll see how that turns out.. :whistle:

I know the feeling, I had a guy in his 80's start to get out of his moving Grand Marquis in the parking lot of Tom Thumb to come get a closer look at the Buick a few weeks ago.. Scared the crap out of me and him.. Luckily he got back in and stopped the car!
