if you listen carefully in between claps, you can hear the sound of the asking price steadily increasing. Smile

As well it should.
Those '67s were one-year-only cars you know. Wink

Installed the new points and condenser and this made a huge improvement with the engine's performance. After tweaking the carburetor and adjusting the timing I was finally able to get it to idle.

Here are some additional photos:

Congrats! Body looks good too.
You need to get that rear engine seal and tin installed. What you have right now...is a real quick way to fry the motor.

Might want to cover that hole in the engine deck, near the battery too. That is an extremely common problem area in these cars. A couple of my club buddies and I replaced the left and center pieces in mine.
My '67 was originally that same color. Wish mine was in that good of shape. That is a nice car.
