    Beautiful car. Bring it to the NJ picnic. It will be a big hit. Also, could you bring the rest of the Van Halen group with you:laugh: :laugh: .

    Oops! My bad. Looked a little closer and it looks like a big block shroud, it's just so clean it threw me off. :)

    I DID notice that you are using an overflow tank. I'd like to do this eventually too, especially when it looks as tasteful as that. Obviously someone, if not you, took the time to make sure it didn't look tacky and it paid off. What year overflow jug is it, do you know? I see two hoses going to the top. Where are the origins and destinations??

    Scott T. -Yes the car was just on e-bay and is for sale. But I am
    not going to give it away! :)

    David, sure understand why you wouldn't want to give it away, glad you are here on the board and if it sells hope this board can put you in line with a new owner. To be honest with you my brother was very interested, he however really needs a ride with air conditioning or the bride won' let him buy it. Good luck David !!!

    Very sweet!

    Hey David,

    This has sold me on aftermarket wheels. I've been debating on AR wheels versus original rallyes & now i know what i'm putting on my 69GS. I've been thinking about Torque Thrust II's & these. What kind of Edelbrock intake is that & is the q-jet stock or performance modified? Did you have any clearance problems with the intake, or did you have plenty of room to spare?

    My hat is off to you for a very nice restification!:beer

    Thanks Rick, The intake is the Edelbrock Preformer it is the only aftermarket intake that I know of that will fit under the stock Ram Air set-up fro these cars. I sent the Q-jet to California and had it rebuilt for preformance. The Torque Thrust II look good but cost more and EVERYBODY has them so I went with the Hopster's, if you look back at the thread I give the wheel & tire size. I have a set of 14 inch stock wheels also and they are cheep, that way I have the best of both worlds!:bglasses:

    Hi David,
    Incredibly sharp car! Folks who don't like '68-'69 cars have to take a second look at this one! Hey, here is my before picture, how about making it an "after" example for me?
