Beaut. Congratulations. I’ve got my eye on a 68 camaro ss for my 40th bday. Same car as my dads first car.
FecalDeGallo
Why would people down vote this?
barbarian818
You'll never know the raw, seething depths of my current envy...
masterchief11
That’s looks like a lot of fun!
DumbDawg
That's not ordinary GT500...its a King if the Road...I'm soooooooo jealous.
marquardtdev
No the decals are wrong, KR was introduced first in -68.
Mrbrown512
You better hope whoever they stole that from they let his dog live
OldGameMaster
marquardtdev
That was a -69. But no, dog died.

I saw this and as I was scrolling I thought, if this is another Eleanor project this guy is getting a dick punch and a downvote. Sweet find!
marquardtdev
Hah, turning a Shelby into a Eleanor deserves a dick punch, so no :D
madhatter603
Wow, that’s one gorgeous car. Keep us updated, can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!
SgtMichaelCross
Dibs! I called dibs.
marquardtdev
Too late! :D I bought it 4 months ago so you snooze you lose!
SgtMichaelCross
Damn! Well, following you so I can see updates. My 1966 Mustang (coupe, 289) says hi!
marquardtdev
Nice!
flipflopfart
Is it a survivor or an older restore?
marquardtdev
Otherwise it's all original from what I have seen so far.
marquardtdev
It's been repainted two times. Once to green (looks terrible, shines through in a few places) and then back to the original Britanny Blue.
flipflopfart
You going to do another paint job or leave it? It looks beautiful.
marquardtdev
I'm gonna leave it as is for now. But later on I will probably bring it down to metal and repaint it in the same Britanny Blue. It's worn.
KeiraWalker
Hellooooooo Eleanor.
AlxEverett
I had a 95 Nissan Sentra named Eleanor. Cuz it was old and rusty.
jjm152
I named my daughter Eleanor, she costs more than the car.
AlxEverett
Cool. I would have gone with the middle name Rigby.
Blackthorn74
Thought that was a ‘71
KeiraWalker
Depends on whether you're watching the original Gone in 60 Seconds or the Nicholas Cage version.
Jaynecobb7
THERE IS ONLY ONE "GONE IN 60 SECONDS"

Please don't restomod it!

stephaniepoor
Beautiful! Naming our daughter Shelby
MuayThaiwinLannister
I want to fuck this car
robsprocket
Is this a KR I though they were all 68's? Or did the doors get the wrong decals during a respray?
marquardtdev
Exactly, wrong decals last repaint.
hucktoflat
Have fun. Make it safe, before making it fast again.
smokinjoe2068
Whatever you do, don't wreck it and shoot the dog!
jaydawgx7
eidolways
So much envy for that garage!
mfxh
Very ? nice
mehlec
Looks pretty clean!
marquardtdev
Yeah not bad. Cracked dashpad, torn door sides and a rip in the passager side seat. Some minor rust in the lower door corners etc.
mehlec
Definitely a keeper. Unsolicited advice: Only use original parts.
marquardtdev
Absolutely. This will be kept as is and when stuff needs changing it's NOS parts only.
mehlec
Thank you on behalf of that beautiful car! +1 because I dont have any more to give
Blackthorn74
Super nice. My brother had a 67 fastback took him years to get it to be 100% stock. Very jealous!!!
Makemetalnotwar
Shots with the new rims?!?
marquardtdev
Gotta get new tires for them.
CatandUnicorn
Oh you now make me wanna re-watch Gone in 60 sec for the 600th time... nice car OP!
marquardtdev
Got it today, been waiting for almost 4 months since I bought it :)
Flatbedlife
I’ve only had my hands in a gt350 and a boss 429, which that car is all kinds of fast
Illbealrighty
Very sexy, thank you for sharing!
winkyroomba
Updates please.
KareemAbdulJabroni
Holy shit, it’s damn near flawless.
DownvoteDaddy
Yeah, except for all the flaws that are requiring him to rebuild it.
KareemAbdulJabroni
Found the guy who’s never rebuilt a classic.
marquardtdev
Pisch posch :D
KareemAbdulJabroni
Exactly.
Orthy
How much did you score it for?
marquardtdev
$80k
DaveTheScientist
She's a beauty.
Orthy
Very nice... that a lot more than I can play with currently. I thought my Supra was expensive
korbendaIIas
I really liked you casually wording here. I don’t know why either.
Orthy
I wish I could favorite this comment
RoryMercury81
Camer from Ca? do you know what city ? kinda looks like one that my GF neighbor had stored under a tarp back in the Day
marquardtdev
It's from Los Angeles. Some guy named Dayle Kaye owned it before me. And yes, I've seen pictures of it under a blue tarp so might be it.
RoryMercury81
yeah that name sounds familar , its my dream to own a 67 GT500 with a 427 Fe , i can only imagine how you feel right now
illuminvughty
Words cannot express my jealousy for you. Please post updates
Themastersphone
This is incredible. Are you going to keep her as is or?
marquardtdev
Yeah, will just get it running.
Themastersphone
Nice
EclecticJon
I Love It! Maybe pop the hood tho?
marquardtdev
Yeah, I have a video showing under the hood etc but can't seem to upload it.
NotaCPA
it's an automatic...were they all automatics?
Orthy
Most were
Jesterok35
427 cubic inch? Or is it the 390?
Jesterok35
I meant 428, not 427...
BosunMark
427.. 428. Whatever it takes.
marquardtdev
It has the 428 Cobra Jet Police Interceptor with dual 4 port carbs.
RoryMercury81
could be wrong but in my research the 428 was offewred till 68, a 67 would either have the 390 or 427, but the 427 was the FE and a race.1
RoryMercury81
engine at that so a very few would have them installed from the factor between 500-1000, more could be changed out on a dealer lvl .
RoryMercury81
also i am surprised it says KR on the side, thought those came out in 68 as well .
marquardtdev
Striping is incorrect, will fix that. Someone thought it was cool to decal trim back int eh 80s ;)
