1968 gts convertible
in 1968 my newlywed parents spec'd out a 68 gts 340 4spd convertible, waited 2 months,,and 3300.00 later picked up their QQ1 convertible,,and withing 6 months my mom was drag racing it at island dragway in nj, and won all 3 outings. they drove the wheels off it until 3 kids and 12 years later had to let it go for a used Crestwood station wagon to haul us kids around. fast forward 36 years of sellers remorse and 30 of them searching for the car,,,and after doing a cpl years detective work,,on mothers day 2016,, I found their original gts buried in trees, brush and firewood. the current owner, after hearing our story, seeing our 45 year old kodak pictures,,gifted us the car back,,under the condition that we had to get it out of the overgrown forest ourselves. being 1 of 44 built,,,i couldn't let it die like this,,we got it out,,and while needing total restoration,,it is going to be saved, and given back to my mom and dad
