Default 1967 "garage find" factory A/C Convertible

So this 67 practially fell into my lap. I was not looking for another car at this time as I'm just about done finishing my 66 after 3 years of work and I really have my eye on a Gen 1 Viper. But a friend of my son saw it on the back of a trailer at a gas staion. Long story short it's now mine. But thought you all would like to see it. It does need a full up restoration as you can see. They started on it 20 years ago and it just sat in the garage. Factory A/C, 4-speed, power steering, radio. Too much fun!

Original color is White with Red interior. Appears to be a 350hp car. Org Block has been swapped out a long time ago. Overflow tank, radiator, intake, carb all match up.

Busted knuckles and an empty wallet, what could be more fun than that.

I did all the mechanical work and all the body work on my 66. Friend of a friend did my paint. I could not say no to the price.
