Thanks, Tom. It's actually Marina Blue in the pic but, the origional color is Lynndale Blue which I like better. It has a Teal interior. I paid $3k for the car and drove it for 5 years. The motor started to smoke so I pushed it to the back of the shop. I also had a 65 Coupe at the time and just bought a georgious 76 for $4k. Nice having 3 Vettes in the garage at the same time. The game plan has always been to keep it and work on it when I felt like it. I knew it would be many years until I touched it because of spending big bucks racing. But I also figured that I have $0 dollars in it - 3k for 5 years transportation. So save it rather than look for one years later. Even though it's a low option car, it's a matching numbers car so, I'm going stock. Otherwise I'd consider a restomod. The body's sitting on blocks off the frame. The frame's been sandblasted, acid etched and painted. Now I need a whole lot of money. The 67 roadster's value will be down quite a bit because of the engine. Takes big bucks to restore one the right way. |
