your cars - very nice { borat voice }
my project - meets the definition of antithesis, and peaks the fugli-ometer
she's been fully de-chromed and has: a sectioned nose, mongo flares, vintage Ansen sprint wheels in 8.5 x 15 and 11 x 15, Bendix fuel filter and elec pump, Hurst super-shifter, a '67 327/275, a 1962 T10-01C 4 spd, custom seat covers and aftermarket kick panels w/speakers, "snowflake" intake manifold, cast aluminum valve covers w/the casting flaws and a functional hood scoop. but wait, there's more! PO of 20 years added the front disc brake and dual MC conversion.
that's the bad. the good includes great bodywork and paint, a solid frame, and tons of new/recent parts when purchased. including a new top, exhaust, generator, shocks and carpet. i'm three years out i think, from being "done".
dragged her out of a barn in Monkton, vt last summer. new front springs, bumpers of some sort, under-dash and parking light rewire, etc are next.

This is J595103333
Had it for some years circa 1972. Found it listed on a German site with all correct info - goodness knows how they got it. Have no idea where it is now, but is was a high output fuely, which had the origginal block when I had it. Messed up an attempt to post this earlier - sorry if this is a duplicate
