What an incredible car and I've always loved that color. I've seen several Chevelle's & El Camino's that color, but not one of these cars. Fantastic job on the preservation too! And those tires, way cool!

I saw a couple of those for sale while trying to find information on the tires.

WOW..what an awesome find. Again, a prime example of the old "they're still out there". Congrats on the acquisition.

As Charley said, we would love to have you join us at the upcoming Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show. It looks like a prime candidate for Vintage Certification, and I am sure Steve Shauger will chime in. There is no doubt that it would be a hit and well received

Bashton.

We spoke weeks ago :)!

Love the car!! Congrats!!!

Wow just wow - hopefully this will make it to MCACN so we can all see it.

Congratulations - great car.

Way cool!

I had emailed you some pictures and few details back on February 6th but not sure you got it or them as I never heard back from you. Maybe you could PM me with a good time to speak on the phone.

Thanks Jay

Fantastic, on all counts! What product(s) did you use to clean the vinyl? Came out spectacular.

Outstanding car, congratulations!

Thanks!

We started by lightly wiping the seats down, Next we steamed them really good, then we gently cleaned them with a general purpose cleaner (Incredible Pink) to get any leftover dirt off and last we put on a vinyl /leather conditioner which is more or less just a spray wax , we let that dry and then hit them with a very soft boot brush. The seats were absolutely filthy but they look and feel brand new now. I think the windows might have been down for at least the last 10 years maybe longer. Amazingly we didn't find one mouse nest or any signs of any mice in the whole car

There must be an efficient cat nearby.

Lol, No cat, I asked if he had mice issues. The previous owner said if you leave the widows down mice won't go into the cars. I find that hard to believe though.

Cowl Tag
 

Here you go since you asked.

Here's the cowl tag

Here's another angle

This is pretty cool or I think it is. These are the original license plates for the car stamped 63. They came with the car when Clark bought it in 1988. The last registration decal is 88 and it was just scotch tape on over the the 1974 sticker. Also this car has not been registered since then either. Clark the 3 owner whom we purchased it from never registered or titled it in his name.

Belts
 

These are the original belts

Wow,just keeps getting better! Great car and great story!

So Clark never drove the car,it just sat in his garage?!

The Black & Yellow California plate breakdown by years.

Cowl / Trim tag information on the New shoulder strap provisions.

He drove it a total 37 miles in just a little over 34 years. 0 miles in at least the last 7 year's according to his service notes.

Geez,that's like having a hot wife and not making love to her!

Non-deep groove smog pump pulley, which has been observed on '67 Z-28s with K19 smog equipment also.

I just love this car and all of the details. Thanks again for sharing!

Cool car thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info. I did know about the shoulder harness provision and the "T" being a "63 stamped plate for 66. The break down on the registration stickers are great. I've been trying to figure it out tonight and this is what Ive come up with.

So this is pretty confusing, Maybe it'll make sense to you or maybe not

You can see the blue on the left side of the plate which I'm guessing is 67 and a pink on the right side I'm guessing is a 68.

I would think and I'm only guessing here is there should be a white for 69 on top of the blue 67 but I don't see one.

There is however an orange on top of the 68 pink and guessing it should be 70.

No green for 71 one that I can see but there is a yellow under the red 73 and I'm guessing that's got to be a 72


Some of the colors don't match the sides on your chart though but maybe that has something to do when the car was first registered?

Did it ever have a "month" sticker on the left side? These began in 1976 and all year stickers were to be placed on the right side only after that.

I believe just years on both left and right.

Ca Black Plates
 

My 67 Nova SS has TRY Black plate i will have to check the stickers on it.

I love a beautifully restored car as much as anyone but there is something extra special about a ultra low mile time capsule. Congrats on the purchase.

Here are a few pictures of the air cleaner assembly. It still has it's original air cleaner element. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2016 but from what we can tell it hasn't seen any fuel since then. I inspected inside float bowls with my bore-scope and it spotless inside. Now the gas tank was just the opposite and we currently have the it out now for cleaning. I think its safe to say the gas in the tank was pre 2016. Pretty nasty inside the tank but it should clean up nicely

air filter
 

Jay, is that air filter media reddish brown with hairs? Does it resemble this pictured NOS air filter? Thanks

I'd have to look closely at it tomorrow to give you a better answer but at first glance it just looks old and very dirty. I was told by Tom that it was the original filter base on the style of the font.

Same style paper filter with the outer soldered screen and fine inner wire mesh that was used on the 64-66 GTO with 3X2’s.

Here are a few NOS boxed filters I have that are dated 1967.

Absolutely loving this car and the discovery. How close has anyone come to the iconic plate?? THX 138 ??

Was that Milner’s plate in American Graffiti??

Here you go Doug. I think it looks similar

picture

WOW, just WOW.

Yes, but the colors were reversed beings the movie was based in '62. I believe it was a prop plate, non-state issue......but not positive on that.
