nice! I love a good patina on a long hood! pretty jelly!

Congrats on finding your longhood!

Yeah its all about the patina for me also..........

Man, that's one sweet car. Any details/story on finding it?

Hey Count........

sure, I got out of the Ferrari world and back into the Pcar world. Ive been looking on and off for about 3 yrs.

Then this 68 coupe popped up......
its got 76k original miles
All matching numbers car
Previous owner had it since 81
All original except the exhaust, seats and steering wheel (i have the original seats that Im gonna get re-upholstered), currently looking for correct steering wheel.
Engine was rebuilt 16k ago due to chain break, tranny was done at the same time.
Car has zero rust.
Im pretty excited about it,,,,,,,,,,,....

I would just clean it up and use it and keep it AS-IS...very dignified color. You don't see many around anymore like this. Like you said, just do the interior to your liking and leave the outside the way it is.

Thats exactly my plan
Im not gonna touch the exterior.......I love the PATINA!
