That is a wonderful car, I love those wheel discs and whitewalls, so correct.

I also believe that an original 350 is a rare engine to find in 1968 as 307 and 327 would be more plentiful so the ad specifies "time period correct" in reference to the 350.

Looks to be very nice. Eye catching with the wheel covers too... even though they would be the first thing I changed.
Damn fine looking Beaumont, Grandpa done good! He needs to be on this site.

It's funny... years ago the first thing I would have done was toss the wheelcovers and put on some rally wheels, but today I'm liking the wheel covers.  I guess over the years I've seen so many rally wheels and mags I've gotten tired of looking at them?  Either that, or I'm getting old and wheel covers and whitewalls are now appealing to me...confuse

The sales brochure has a similar car:

Needs a few emblems and engine call out and I notice the windshield washer is not hooked up, enough little things to tiler with.

Absolutely love this car, especially the color. It's identical twin, then nearly new, lived on the parking lot of the apartment building in which I lived in 1970.

That's really nice. I am more impressed by that car than by a rescue all blinged-out. Fewer people resist the urge to "upgrade" them so it is refreshing to see it as it stands. The 350 with general performance stuff is an obvious choice. Like Ray said, just a few little odds & ends to seek out for fun. As for the lack of a V badge, maybe it was a 735-series with a six & they swapped in a 350 from approximately the same era, perhaps a bit newer (long water pump & no filler tube).

 

I think the whitewall & wheelcover look is nice. Rolling stock really sets the mood for the car, and that there says "survivor". Even if it was redone, that is the first impression.

 I agree. The authentic original look well suits this car. If I had it I'd be tempted to have the whitewall tires with painted wheels and correct dog dish hubcaps.

I agree a very nice car, though Im partial to Verdoro Green so that makes all the better. Someone else must have thought so too as its already sold, pending pickup.

 Not surprising that it's sold.
