Ken Raimondi's 67 Convertible

After a little hibernation period this beautiful red 67 Convertible was brought out for a little refreshening up.

After removing the bumpers and giving it just a good bath. Looking pretty already.

After removing the front and rear suspensions to freshen things up. (Control Arm Bushings, Ball Joints, Sway Bar Bushings, Coil Springs, shocks, Half-shaft U-Joints, Trailing Arm, Strut Rod Bushings, Front and Rear Wheel Bearings, Gas Tank, Exhaust, Plugs, Wires, Belts, Carburetor, etc.).

After pulling the gas tank we found the Build Sheet in place. Slightly weathered, but somewhat legible. The sheet shows options:

STD:    Standard Black Trim
L79:     327/350hp Turbofire V8
G81:    Posi Rear Axle (With 3:70 Gears)
M21:    Close Ratio 4speed Transmission
STD:    Standard Black Top
C07:    Auxiliary Hardtop
