1967 should be the 'height' of the muscle car explosion.

I think it's 2000 miles a year. Classic insurance is stated value. That way you can do a restoration and insure for what it's worth to you.

Thanks Chuck. Yep, the years do fly by no doubt. He's the youngest of a few, little guy spent 4 to 5 hours on it tonight with nothing but a smile. It's kind of funny how you appreciate things more as you get older........

I remember when I was THAT midget waxing Camry/Corolla/Vanagon of that era. They were the best shine in town and my mother's coworkers were always jealous of the shine on her car.

No idea what colour it is to be honest. There are the original stickers of the colourcode etc underneath the hood tho. So I suppose it's original.

The mrs won't drive the Box, she say's she'd be frightened to get it dirty or curb the wheels
Then again i don't really relish driving her wheels, seems to attract to much of the wrong type of attention !! if you know what i mean Ha Ha

You still have the nicest garage, Chuck, even when its empty!!

As for me, I probably win in the "who pays the most car tax" contest given where I live, but other then the box, the wifey's JCW is probably the only car worth showing off. My 9-year old VW station wagon, well, no one wants to see that...
