Additionally documented with original dealer invoice/build record, firstowner'sactual Statetitle and registrationmatchingthe invoice, and the owners manual.Never-hit frame and all original fiberglass. Build date of March 27th, 1968. I amthe3rd owner.Had 120,000 miles at time of restoration.
VERY RARE code 978 International Bluepaint,a1968 onlycolorin whichabout 2400 cars had. In addition, has two rare options being the AM/FM stereo, and speed warning indicator speedometer,whereabout 3300 cars had ordered ofeach. Hasthe Transistor Ignition as well (which was standard on 435HP optioned cars). Factory power steering and power brakes. As configured, this car is one of only a handful (approximately 200) that were made.
The carwasfully restored beautifully to show/1 condition inside and out in 2011, and is correct throughout, with all proper castings and dates on the original restored parts, particularly the original Holley dated2 x 3carbs. Frame was black epoxy coated,withundercoating replacement, as it had. Paint is outstanding, as is the engine compartment and interior detailing (Al Knockcarpet and 1968 correct genuine leather basket-weave seats as a nice upgrade despite originally built with standard vinyl). Only the undercarriage shows the evidence that the car has beendriven, but otherwise, still presentswonderfully. Another great aspect is that it always runs cooleven on the hottest of days and longest ofdrives, and all mechanical features worklike new. Drives like a new car.
There is no smog set up, has modern tires,and a look-a-like digital stereo as the only incorrectfeatures, but an original radio is boxed and included.
I can no longer afford to stare at a high-dollar car sitting in my garage that I don't get to drive much. Car was appraisedfor $90k and insured as such.Priced below market/condition value,but I am NOT in a rush tosell. Will be scheduled for Mecum Auctionat Harrisburg in August, 2017.
