I had to take some pix of my 67 so I can get muscle car insurance coverage.
It turned out pretty sweet!

Very nice !!! And very rare up this way. Make sure you put lots of insurance on it. :thumbsup:

Very nice. From about 1963 to 1974 is my favorite era for cars.

Now that is just Purrrdy!!:thumbsup: I can see allot of work and $$ in that job.
Labor of "love" I'm sure.

Awesome car. Great color. Looks like she's built to run too.

Great car. These engines work great with a longer duration cam than the factory put in.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a fun project still in progress. That's the OEM factory color, you don't see too many of those. It seems most muscle is red, blue or a shade of grey. I liked the old school look.

Arrow, you should like my cam... I recommend cranking your speakers before playing. '67 Olds 442 on Vimeo
