I believe I remember the commercial:Texaco,,,from the land of the dinosaurs!(1950's)

Here is my Dads gas station from 1960 until 1968. I worked there starting at 10 years old. so I got to see every car model under the sun, serviced them, and had front seat at all the street racing of the time! I just sat on the curb by that stoplight and watched! it was a Mobil station in...

I am sure you will have visitor rights,,It may be hard to see it go though, yes?

Pictures young man,Let us get a look!

my buddy with a 79 camaro had the same problem, and a ford friend of mine recommended the ford additive. It cured that very same problem,,,good product!

Toyo 225/75x15 with the 15x6. If I were to do it over again, I think the 215/75 would handle tighter. These toyos seem to roll on the rim a bit with the 15x6, as the manufacturer recommends 6.5 rims or wider. I did have 225/75 toyos on my 15x6.5 steelies, (1977 Cordoba)and they drove very much...

here you go. The Gtx with the 215/75x14 sits taller than the picture suggests.The polara has 225/75x15 Toyo Tires mounted. I don't have a picture yet of the 15x6 painted with dog dish caps available.

I can get one tomorrow. on the Coronet I blasted and painted the 15x6 wheels to the color of the car, then Used a nice set of 68-69 dog dish caps. on my 66 Polara , I Installed 15x6 wheels and Installed 1969-71 chrysler full caps, which I think fit the style reallly well.

I installed the Vercelli 215/75-14 WW, (made in Thailand) and the car (69 Coronet) drives like they did in the 70's. I have no complaints so far. under 98 bucks to your door.I also bought 215/70-14 but I don't care for the low profile look.

I went to the 68 C body 15x6 rims,which were standard when equipped with disc brakes. I could not locate any 15 inch rallyes anywhere.When equipped with 14inch,( my 66-68) they were 14x6.

I use VR1 in all my classic cars, they run very well, no problems here. Also, when I drained the previous oil with the zinc additive I had added some time back, I found the zinc in the bottom of the pan and plugged up the oil filter, as it had not blended with the oil.

You will have to stay pre 62' for your drivetrain, as the crank/bellhousing/clutch assy is unique to the model. an older polyhead would work if you could find a parts car you need, mainly everything North from the bell going forward. Most people just drop in a newer drivetrain, and can the rear...

the 383 in 65' is not the same 383 as the pre_63 383, and the polyhead bellhousing/trans is all different, as in the poly head world.

I left Hagerty seven years ago, as they were arbitrarily raising the annual rate on all my cars. Then I had a very disagreeable experience with them in regards to getting my vehicle towed home after an engine problem. I sat in a very busy service station four 4 hours, and some low end guy...

thank you all for being Interested in the 67'. I thought the car's history to be even more Interesting! The car was a special order as documented on the data plate. The car was owned by the original owner until 1980 or so I was told, (and confirmed when I found a letter to the state pleading...
