I bought it in 1989 off a used dealer lot in Salt Lake City, then traded it for a 1968 Cadillac from another car dealer in Las Vegas around 1994. This was long before I had any information on how many were built with what options, etc. But it was a like most Utah-driven cars underneath with plenty of corrosion and rust. I didn't have the means to really do it justice and was having trouble finding parts for it just to keep it on the road at the time.
Nice pair of 61s :TU: . So you are in Kent, WA, plan to go there in april to visit the Hydroplane museum and hopefully meet Ron Jones Sr. Are you going to Portland Swap Meet this year?
Mike, love youir black 67 Special. Still my favorite color, couldn't find a black had to settle for this white one. And it don't have no 455, still a 300 (with Isky cam), but does have a th350 tranny, front discs, and similar wheels to yours. 67s Specials are still my favorite model, this being my second one.:TU:
Great lookin' 67 for sure. Nice attention to detail. Engine compartment looks great. Rims are killer too!
I like your white one! Very clean. Wish all my special deluxe trim pieces were present on mine and in better shape cause I would have kept them on. Look good on yours. Car didn't start black, was originally green with black interior. Changed to black when completed body and paint. Really like the detailing in your engine compartment. Mine had the 300 as well but once it started giving me trouble I couldn't resist the urge to swap. It was just one of those things ... if I'm going to pull the motor I might as well look at a swap ... if I'm going to swap in a motor, it might as well be rebuilt ... if I'm going to rebuild it, might as well build it up a little ... once the snowball starts rolling it's hard to stop it. I'm still trying to get the tuneup just right but even running as it is the inner fenders are becoming well protected by a layer of shredded rubber.
Finally got the german registration for my Electra :grin: So here's some pics License plates were pretty much sort of baking tray till yesterday, but I got smaller ones today (to be allowed this in Germany takes kinda government decision...
Stunning car,a four door hardtop is one nice look.The lines of the car and the wheel covers are spot on.Great pictures.:TU:
Thanks. Must say in this special case I slightly prefer the 4dr HT to the 2dr, the pretty roofline is enhanced by the thinner and more angled c-pillar. Love this car, its ride is so amazing. Has only 63000 km (39000mls) on the odometer, one previous owner from southern France.
