Hi guys, I tried decoding the build sheet on this car and gave up and paid someone to do it and got the results back. Seems like it is a basic GTX, 440-4 console 727 with a 3.23 8 3/4. Manual brakes, manual steering Sunfire Yellow with black vinyl top and black interior and was built March 27, 1968.
So when I was last there to look at car it was July and burning hot so didn't spend a lot of time crawling around so I'm going back next weekend to take another look to see if I can find numbers on transmission but I have a feeling it's original to the car.
What I am struggling with is what it would take to restore. I love the 68-69 B bodies and this one is in a nice color combo, but it is a total resto as from my brief look it everything from the firewall forward seemed to be ok as was the roof but would need at a minmum torsion bar crossmember, inner/outer rockers, doors, floor pan, trunk pan, rear frame rails, rear valence, wheel wells and probably a lot of other small metal pieces I'm not even considering.
The money wouldn't be an issue and I know I would have more invested than the car is worth after resto but after replacing so much metal do I have an original 68 GTX anymore?
Thanks
