My new Hot Rod.
Just picked this one up. 68 Z with a spare motor and a ton of parts. It came with a build sheet and GM Vintage report. It has a built 327 in it right now so I have a lot of work to keep me busy for the winter. I bought it from a woman so I started things off with a bag of M&Ms. I figured flowers was a little too much. When it came time to deal I pulled out my camera bag and said. "Oh no. I forgot my camera." And then showed her the bag which was filled with cash. She flipped out and then made a couple of calls before saying yes. I could have gotten the price down more but it was her husbands car who had passed a few years ago.
The car has a cowl hood, bigger than stock wheels and it's Fathom Blue. It was originaly green with white stripes so I need to decide how far I want to go in getting it back to stock. The paint is perfect so it would be tough to repaint. I can't wait to get started. Maybe I will take it out tomorrow and see if I can still bang a couple of gears.

I would have a hard time painting a car that was already a great color, especially if the paint was really nice, let alone perfect.
Looks like a fun car.

^ HAH!
I’ve done that! Put out three bowls among your other party snacks: Peanut M&Ms, peanuts, and an empty bowl. During the party, and after someone’s had some peanuts, you stroll over grab an M&M, chew / suck the candy coating and chocolate off and deposit it in the empty bowl and continue like it’s normal...

Congrads Ziggy. You said "spare motor" but what is it? The 302?
