Richard & Streets,

Thanks for your responses. To start with My name is Jack and my sons is Trevor. Here is all the documentation I have to date.

We purchased the car from the original owner. Originally sold on 7/6/67 for a mere $3,066.84. I have the protecto plate which matches the numbers on the car.

Standard coupe (no RS or SS), no power steering, no power brakes, no ac. This is basically a bare bones model.

VIN 124377L130396
Motor Compartment I.D.'s

Intake M. 3877652
Exhaust M 3892683
Heads 3876775

I'm with you Streets in trying to keep it original, but I also don't want to search endless junkyards looking for "original" parts I might need. The engine ran great bringing it home (no oil burn, good pick up). Visual so far with the valve covers and distributor off looks good. I'm looking for a small increase in HP (is upping to 250 considered small increase) and having the engine shine. My boy wants a lot of chrome, which I could get on board with. I'm living vicariously through my son, so I would also like to put headers on. I could keep rambling on but stop to give you a chance to laugh. I have thick skin, so bring it on.
