have copious amounts of money in this car. purchased through some people in my home town that own the local towing/wrecking company. had been in one of his out buildings forever along with a 68 malibu that looked as though it got ass-ended by a log truck. the malibu had buick interior verified by cowl tag and build sheet. this was a strike year and these cars could of had anything gm in them. took the front clip, nice doors, mint buckets, and tilting/telescoping column from that car along with a few other parts. the super sport drive train had gone into one of his race cars years ago. guy I went to high school with in the 70's drove it every day. knew it was the same car by custom paint that had a graphic on the quarters. I had a 69 427 and super t10 that was destined for the car, but has since gone into a 69 vette I purchased from a friend. original teal blue/teal blue 396 4 speed ac car with split back front bench. the guy that did all the work has mad skills and converted the firewall to accept a standard heater box. floors and trunk had plenty of pin holes. bottom of quarters and wheel well lips were rusted. after the trunk was cut out some rust was found in the bottom of the tail panel so it was replaced also. everything but the frame was either media blasted or stripped with a large brush on a big grinder. no rattle can anything anywhere on this car. high solid epoxy went on top of bare metal, then body work, then a regular epoxy primer. still have a gallon of $100 sealer primer that comes with car. brought it back just short of paint when I knew it would be sold. my plan was black base/clear. the dash, rear package area and window frame already painted black single stage urethane. engine compartment, interior, trunk shot with a satin black enamel. high grade paintable undercoating that dries like bedliner went on trunk, floors, underside of trunk and drop offs. splatter paint went on top of that in the trunk. the metal work was awesome. the quarter skins were fully welded as was the trunk and floors. zero warping as the guy takes the time to weld cool weld cool. very little filler besides the quarter skin seams. urethane seam sealer on all trunk and floor seams. all door hinges rebuilt, heater box all gone through with new heater core, new dash pad, rear seat all new. the front buckets are still the buick style upholstery, but mint. planned on using them for a few years before buying the chevelle stuff. all the loose pieces were media blasted and put in satin black enamel(bumper brackets, ect.) new front and rear bumpers. new tank and sending unit. new core support and bushings. the front clip was re-assembled with all new hardware. grill re-painted with satin black on top of an adhesion promoter. all the stainless is polished and ready to go back on. roof rail stainless has new foam installed on it. all the factory dark green tinted glass including the perfect factory windshield installed. rear and windshield put in with primer and urethane instead of the cheap tape kits. front and rear window molding clips all new and ready for moldings to be snapped in place. this car was complete when I took it apart. threw out a few things that needed replacing(front turn signals, couple of marker lights, and a couple of aluminum trim pieces come to mind). otherwise everything is there. all the wiring was in good shape and back in place. car had a factory roller tach cluster that was pretty nasty and expensive to restore, so I sold it to help build the mountain of cash that went into this thing. used the speedo/clock cluster from the malibu which was in nice shape. was told this car had the factory heavy duty suspension as you can tell by the huge factory front sway bar and the oval control arm bushings. the front chassis parts were done at one time. ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, bushings all nice and tight. also has some very heavy duty upper and lower aftermarket control arms that bolt to the rear differential. have all new rear wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and hardware not yet installed.major stuff to complete the car would be: headliner, door panels, carpet, motor/transmission( I have automatic and 4 speed drivelines), exhaust, radiator. If you can swing a gun and turn a wrench, watch your nickels and dimes you could finish this thing for a lot less than buying a done one. they took a bunch of resto pics for me with a cheap digital camera I left there you can find at: http://1968chevellesupersport.shutterfly.com/ have a contact at an oregon transport company that is really reasonable and will help get the car loaded for whoever comes for it. If you have any doubts about what you may be buying here please come look at it up close. everything was done right by a professional who cares about their work. this is a fixed price/make offer listing so everyone interested knows it is an honest sale and not some guy running it up with his buddies fake bids.
