This followed me home today a 1968 SS427 number matching 385Hp,4spd 2 owner all original right down to carb and air cleaner. The only non stock items are headers, shift knob and wheels. It took 25 years of chasing this one to get it secured. Last taged in 1980 runs and drives. Sold new at Iten in NYC. Pictures to follow

Congrats...these are VERY cool cars! .

Although not like a '67, the '68's have a unique hood too although more subtle...can't wait to see your pics! .

Ah....come on now............Lets see the pics. Show me yours. Here's the one I owned in 1971. (silver, black vinyl top w/4speed) BETTER NOT BE THE SAME ONE>>>>I'll have ANOTHER heart attack!

Yea....the 67 is sweet. Here I am on Christmas Eve with sugar plums and bigblocks dancing in my head hoping that Santa had a 68 SS427 in his sack for me!

Pete, my 67 is also a Oshawa-built car 427/385 M40 with engine block heater. No need for that in the States!

I was already admiring your '67 the other night in the background of your engine posting pics Jeff! .

Not to hijack this thread but if you can do it, can you post some close up shots of the hood and trim from inside and out!? .

Maybe Jim can do the same with the '68...I'd love to see more details of both years of these unique hoods!? .

Quick question Jeff on the old 71 pic. Were your louvers on the fenders factory fitted chrome as shown not painted. I have seen them both ways and am not sure which is 100% correct. All depends who I ask

I don't know whether Jim sent me the wrong pics...but this isn't a 1968 SS427?

[PeteLeathersac]

It's probably a different car but perhaps it's that '68 Chevy that's peeking out from behind the '71 T/A that's in front of the '70 Chevelle that's beside the '69 Chevy...yes the one in front of the '72 Chevelle that's ahead of the 71/72 truck that's in front of what looks like it could be a '35 Ford...what's the flamed one beside it, it looks too high to be a '67 Camaro? .

You had to go over to the cars for sale thread for the 71 T/A...This is what Jim posted about another "new" purchase.

Its now at home in Klunkersville !!! We had a deal until the Poniac expert that wasn't even bidding told the owner where to look for the vin number . We had looked at the car before it met reserve and made a deal , that went south when he discovered the vin at the pan rail Thanks !!! We still made the deal for more money and here it is . Wheres Klunkersville , Steve Shauger, Ken Pascoe, Frank Arrone, Bob Johnson, Chuck Hanson, Jeff Dotter, Jerry Macneish, and Don White all know where the field of dreams is !!!!

I have heard of cross dressing but never cross threading. You guys are tricky......

Isn't that the T/A that was for sale on Ebay? That car seemed like a good deal.
