I thought I would start a build thread for a new project. I recently purchased a 67 R/T that I decided needs a bit more than just a refurb.
This car has some local history with it and a few other things make it special to me. The car started life at a small dealership in Dallastown, Pa called Stetler's. The car was owned by a local guy that sold it in 1979 to a dealer/service center who is a family friend and I worked for detailing cars in the early 90's. It was then sold to another local guy. This owner drove the car for about a year and parked it, last PA inspection sticker was from 79/80. The car has been in the small town that I still live in all of its life and three owners now. This car has also been a bit of a chase, I had been pursing for a number of years.
This car is 99% complete with the fender tag, build sheet, born with driveline, 57k miles, etc. I even got to 'discover' the build sheet. How many cars do you get to do that with anymore?
Currently the car is completely blown apart and I just got it back from media blast yesterday. Car goes for epoxy next week.
This picture is of my parent's car that they bought at that same dealer back in 67, day 1.
Goal is to restore the car back to day 1. The car still has its hubcaps with it.
