Our Cars Birthday- Born Date

[67since67]

This Leeds (Kansas City) L79 Malibu has an 01C trim tag, but was final assembled on January 23rd (the dreaded Monday car LOL) and sent to Morris Chevrolet in Oklahoma City.

Marina Blue with black bench, ECL codes suggest 134 L79 327/325 convertibles built in 1967. M20 4 speed, 3.55 posi. Not quite completed yet, I need to wrap up the interior and snap on the N96 mag wheel covers.

WOW Bill! That car is coming together nicely since the last time I saw it!

Ya know Bill........a build thread would be more than appropriate. It ain't like you're screwing this car (or any others) together with scotch locks and zip ties

"scotch locks and zip ties"

Gosh Tim, as you are aware this one has had quite the story....the biggest challenge was dealing with the amateur restoration done 25 years ago. If it wasn't such a rare car with the critical components in place I would have cut it loose long ago.

This time 59 years ago this Cameo Ivory on Red ‘66 GTO rolled out of the Fremont plant in California.
I’ve owned it for 34 years.

It’s amazing this rare car (3x2 / Auto) still retains everything it was built with.
Original paint, interior and factory powertrain.

Of the 1759 “YR” built this year most have been altered to a 4 speed and mechanical linkage.
It was a common practice in the late 60’s to toss all that complicated Vacuum linkage that came on these cars.
Not only complex, but extremely dangerous to the unexperienced. I know firsthand.

He doesn’t get out much so allow me to share.

What a great true survivor and what a privilege to be it's caretaker Chris!

I love any '60s red interior and this one is gorgeous!!
