Donny's Dream 67

06/20/2023

Well, she’s sat in the garage for 16 months.

It’s been long enough, and we have a meeting and a shop tour with someone / somewhere special tomorrow.

Seems fortuitous and apropos it all came about unexpectedly on a Father’s Day weekend. Appropriate.

Here’s to hoping this makes the ball roll on bringing the girl back to life.

Just taking my time and finding out what’s “wrong”

These can just go in the garbage can.

Square mirrors do not go on a ‘67.

They are at least off a Camaro - just not a 67.

Whelp … that’s definitely not original.

Gotta pull it anyway - but even without doing so, looks like someone installed a Saginaw 4 speed with the reverse lockout, from a Monza / Buick Skyhawk / Pontiac Astre / Olds Starfire

I’ve heard these are getting rare. — it’s definitely not going back in.

And so it begins.

It’s taken more than two years just to see this much happen - when I’d originally hoped to be DONE in less than two years.

This first, most important step would have never been possible without the extraordinary help of Sean Randall. If you’re on the Gulf Coast, I couldn’t refer him high enough.

Now it will only take $100k to turn it into a $50k car!

I spy with my little eye…

Good things are happening.

It’s been 2 long years of nonsense, trial and tribulation!

Stay tuned, I’ll post after the fact -
