Completely Original? Almost!

When I bought my 68 Barracuda recently the seller stated repeatedly that the car was completely original, as far as the parts anyway, except for a new alternator and he did have the original alternator in the trunk. I have since replaced the cracked exhaust manifold. And as far as I can tell from my limited knowledge it may be almost completed original, except for him painting the valve covers and block, few areas of surface rust under the hood and a spot in the trunk. It has original paint, spare tire has never been on the ground, interior, engine has 42k original miles, and vinyl top. Does anyone have a completely original car from the 60's or 70's or how close to being original is it? I would expect they are very rare indeed.

And to those who do have these rare gems, take as many pictures of them as you can to document how they were originally made. It would be a shame not to have some records for others interested in returning their cars back to original factory condition.

I have an original 21,742 mile Superbird that my dad bought from the original owner back in 81. The only things not original are the valve covers, distributor, and rims. But those can be easily brought back to stock.
