New one added to the corral. Car is all there. radiator, exhaust manifolds, 383-s hood louvers are cherry, oil pan 893, even the dip stick and fan are correct. shield is still on the prop valve. All the gauges even work.

Fuel system issues after sitting since 1990. I hooked up a make shift fuel system and put an accelerator pump in the carb. Added battery cranked it over to get oil pressure primed the carb, cranked twice and it fired back to life!

gold on gold is kind of weird. deluxe interior, light package, rear defog, and variable wipers. a few options on it. It has 67 front fenders on it but that's an easy fix. Strangely, it also has 4-spd pedals in it.
 
Noticed the rear defog!!

Missed the extra pedal!

Is it the correct block?

Monotone color combo but it's a BB car!
 
no unfortunately, the block is a 71 383hp engine, but the intake is the original one by date anyhow. There is a possibility the block is still around ... following up on that.

oh yeah - it also has a tachometer and 150 speedo, both correct.
 
all fastbacks -
67 273-4 F/S 4-spd,
67 383 auto,
67 383 4-spd sold,
68 383 auto.
I'm down to three now. I need to restock the inventory!
 
Great find!!!! I think that is a sweet/rare color combo, gold/saddle interior!!!
 
I think ya got burned, I saw a ding in the front bumper!! ha

great find! makes me want to go to the bank take out a loan, and make a road trip to the great pacific north west!!!!
 
Great Score Rocky !! My 68 RR was JJ1 with black and gold int. I'll send you a pic if you want to see it. Or just check The Golden Rotisserie Chicken on FBBO
 
Nice, congrats. You´re soon to be the greatest collector of second generation A-body H-code cars. :glasses7:
 
Thanks Guys!

I pulled it apart today in search of a build sheet and like so many it is gone to history... At least the fender Tag is there unlike so many.
 
Sweet find. Reminds me of my 68 Barracuda 383s 4 speed pretty much all original..
