anyone have one like mine ???
Yeah, with all my research, I've been able to narrow the body style, and drive train down to around a thousand, but the paint, trim, and interior is the stickler ?! The pics are before I started cleaning it up, actually, before I even picked up to bring home. Can be seen in car of the month site back then, months ago, and more I wrote about it. I'm thinking, maybe 1-3 hundred maybe ? But still in existence, that's the question ?? No, I don't have the original motor, tranny, or center console, but everything else is there, even the a.m. radio. So I'm still up in the air about what to do about which powere plant to choose. Since in 1967 the numbers on the engine aren't marked like later years, so could get another 273 4bbl motor, but there are so many better choices for a quick street machine, which is what I want. A 70's muscle car, using the 67 cuda, without changing the main car too much, other than power upgrades, mages, stance, and maybe side pipes.
Yes, it is a pretty rare car, with the options it has and colors it was born with.
You could restore it with a date coded block etc. and have a very nice car.
But is it what you want?
Do you want a restored car to pamper and polish, or do you want a street machine that you can have fun with?
Personally, i feel it's your car and do with it what you want.
Keep in mind that a lot of people modified these cars without a single thought back in the day, now everyone is so worried about value and if it's a ''numbers matching survivor''.
FWIW, i would build the car you want from it and never look back.
You only live once, and it is just a car for god's sake............[/QUOTE]
I agree ! I am over 50 now, and grew up buying, and modifying them to be like my muscle car toys, and models I used to use all the spare frame pieces, and mix-matching bigger, and smaller scale models, building one of a kind model cars. Yes, I bought all those crazy "Cartoons" magazines, with the monsters sticking out of the top of the car, shifting as they smoked the tires, lol !!! They really got me into art to begin with. I always loved that big wide mag, and jacked up in the back look, no mater how bad they perform in the twisties ! I don't want to modify the hood, because of the grilled inserts, which I probably would on a plain hooded car, but I am thinking big throaty side pipes, quick, high reving motor, and maybe a custom louver for the back window, like I've had on other cars in the past. This car I won't sell this time !! Keep it as original as possible, just add to it, like we used to. I'm not trying to outdo anyone, just be satisfied, and have an awesome car to leave to the kid who's into cars the most, and will cherish it as much as I did, ya' know what I mean, heirloom car !
