Well, SoCal build May 67. I have the original protecto plate. Original owner shares his name with one of the main characters in the movie Shrek.
Factory ordered with 4.56 ratio and front drums....so clearly for drag racing
396 destroyed in 1969 and replaced with an L72 short block. Crashed in 1970, front end wiped out. Sold to second owner as a parts car. Third owner stored for decades until it was passed on to me on 2005. It has had a full ground up rebuild with the aim of keeping it as stock as possible. However, has a couple of subtle mods.
Will post more pictures in the next few days.
