Nice day to drop the top:)

Geez I wished I owned it.

Kind of a poor pic shooting into the sun, but gives you all an idea of the '68 Roadster I have here...doing some work on it...

427 CU, 390HP (rated, but engine was rebuilt with a bit of a lope-ish cam), Muncie 4-speed, posi rear.

Just too cool of a car, I don't care if you hate Chevrolet, but you have to admit this is one fine ride.

Great car... I am glad it isn't you that is topless.
It would be fun to try and squeeze the 460 into it.

Thing is, a 572 BBC goes right in the same place as the 427...but trust me, the car has plenty of power as it is

Well, just tell her it not a project car. It's all there and running. Actually, from what I understand you don't need to do anything but add gas. Too rich for my blood. I also like the t-top version better for myself. However, the vert is worth more to most. That is why 75% of the Ferrarris you see are verts.

Isn't it funny...some wive see thier husbands with that "glazed over" look in thier eye, and think the guy is dreaming of some babe he met at the bank.

Our wives see that look in our eye, and just know it has something to do with a car....

Ok, buy the car, put a Ford emblem on it and call it the new Mustang.

Corvettes, and IROC Z's are the only Chevies worth buying in my book.
