I've got some issues to sort out before driving it, but the engine sounds spectacular. It needs to calipers rebuilt, new shift bushings and perhaps I'll have the alternator rebuilt.
Some of you asked about the color. It's Burgundy Red (30868), a special order color for '67. I've got a video of the car starting, as well as my shocked expression. I'll figure out how to post it soon.

That is awesome! This is almost shaping into another Hester thread. Can't wait to see the video.
