talk about survivors.... did you see the all original white (stock) '66 sedan with only 47K miles on the clock?
Amazing!

Naw, I wasn't part of that club or era, which is why I admire the jackets so much. They're with their rightful owners... the way it should be.

Looks like the jackets are starting to become a tight fit.  Boy, do I know how that feels....

just one little question: does Dave's car sit a bit lower at the back? i remember it being higher...

nothing changed,maybe the difference is the look of 185/70 road tyres and the 26inch tall slicks?

What ever I don't care I have just been dying to see the new pic's  I LOVE NEW PAINT 

Survivors are just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool

"The Survivor Look" thats the look I am going for with PROJECT 66

[Lee.C]

Or I could just track down Mike Billing old 67

   Why not create your own look? the thing about these cars is they cant be replicated,how do you recreate history,the stories the wear on parts can tell,35 years hard use on suspension leaves a unique ride height,often not even both sides, a throttle linkage that has been repaired rather than replaced,how many times has the gas pedal been forced to the floor,theres a thousand + things that make these cars so unique,even the fact that they have been redone adds a certain something that only that process cant create,thats what in my opinion would have spoiled the ghia had Doug redone it himself,he is a perfectionist,we can see that from the 67 he did,and to achieve that with this car would have lost some of its soul   

There arent many left[survivors] and i enjoy looking at them,spotting the clues to there history and driving them if I am lucky enough to get the chance   but you will never recreate them,and thats a good thing as that makes them so special
