67 Caprice 427 - Any thoughts?

[Shevelle]

Those would be perfect! Do you know what they mean by this: "Front mat is one piece with a trim line on the back for Bucket Seats"? Does that mean they can be used for bench seat...or cut for use with buckets??

I guess I need to find an air cleaner too. Nice thing about a survivor, at least I don't have to hunt down (and pay for) NOS!

Thanks Grady!

Jacquie, That is correct. Could be used for a bench seat or buckets with console.

I was reading this old thread recently that may be of some help on the L36 air cleaner issue..

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...fpart/all/vc/1

Is the attachment pic in the first post w/ single large size snorkle exiting the driver's side what's correct for this '67 L36 w/ A/C application?.
If so I wonder what Casey used on the '68 as I thought his was an L72 car so may be worth asking him if he still has that single snorkle unit he posted the pics of?.

Thanks Pete...that is indeed the correct air cleaner for the Caprice.

Final update on the Caprice...

It's going back to Don Hardy. He asked me to sell it back to him. Didn't want to, but what else could I do...it's only right. He will be coming to pick it up in a few days. Oh well, maybe he will let me get a picture with him and the car to remember it by.

So Bruce, good thing I kept the receipt on that purple fedora, doesn't look like you'll be needing it. We'll have to go back to Plan A, your blue beast.

I don't get this...if Don didn't want to sell the car, then why did he? You paid his asking price, hauled the car home at your own expense, and cleaned the car up very nicely. It is a very nice gesture on your part Jacquie but you owe Don nothing. Personally, if it were me, I'd tell Don that's too bad, I paid you a fair price for the car and I'm keeping it. Apparently I'm not as nice of a person as you are Jacquie!

[Shevelle]

Randy, Don lost the car in divorce. I bought it from his ex (who by the way, is most likely not going to be happy when she finds out he got it back). This was Don's opportunity to get his car back.

Randy, Jacquie bought the car from Don's ex-wife...who doesn't like Don very much right now....



That's a cool thing you did Jacquie

Oops, too late. You are too quick Jacquie!

[70 Forest Green Zee]

Is this the gal that you were afraid was going to beat you up Jacquie? When she finds out you sold the car back to her ex, she may :-) Keep an eye over your shoulder Jacquie! BTW...I think it's really nice of you to do this....I didn't know the whole story I guess....reluctantly, I'd probably do the same thing so I guess I am as nice of a person as you are
