Hello All,
Well this is my first post! My cousin turned me on to his co-worker and golfing buddy that have been together for the last 35 plus years. The golfing buddy purchased the 68 coupe in approx. 1970 upon his return from Vietnam drove it on Sunday's (yeah right??) and then parked it in the early 80's. The last up to date license tag is from 1985 and has been sitting inside his garage with only approx. 52K. I purchased it in Feb and now it sits in my garage. The body is in great shape, needs paint, interior seats and carpet. The main and only issue (fingers crossed) is the steering column. From what I was told the 68 steering column went bad (telescoping?) and at the time 80's he could not find a replacement so he, started to reinstall a 70's steering but, never finished it and now it sits.
The only research I've gotten to is on the front right engine pad V0305HP, Casting date C 2 8, and Engine Block 3914678. Missing the air cleaner bottom and top but, everything, I mean everything under the hood is all still in tact and original.
Any suggestions on where to go next?
