'68 convertible rolling chassis and parts
Long story short:
Father and son purchase '68 convertible in need, realized that too many dollars were going to be needed to put in good condition, asked me to help sell.
Will post photos later. Link to photobucket: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v663/435rdster/Dannys%2068%20parting%2
Car and parts located in South Central Texas, near San Antonio.
Big items:
Update: Update: Update: Update:
Update on frame and suspension package.
Thanks to a fellow Forum member I have identified the supension package on this frame----
Vette Brakes and performance "SKU 42000" Full performance set----This is a $2,400.00 set up
Secondly, after closer inspection of the frame, this thing is beautiful/perfect powder coated. This is the type of frame condition the "big boys" advertise for $5,500.00 (new reproduction frames).
SOLD---1) Powder coated frame (4 speed)--complete rolling chassis--
Has some type of high performance suspension package including Special A-Arms/drag link/tie rods/ball joints/sway bars/rear spring/rear camber adjusters/adjustable shocks/New S.S calipers/etc., etc.--
