After a couple weeks of waiting, I finally got the green light to pick up this 67 that’s been sitting for the last 25 years due to a broken clutch pedal. Good times!

Is that primer or just dirty Zieneth blue? Either way, congrats! |

1960 Canadian Standard, purchased by the current owner in 1966 during a family vacation to the west coast when their Bus threw a rod. He had the dealership install a trailer hitch so they could bring the tent trailer home 2500 miles. He kept it as a second car for a while, then stored in a barn from the mid 70s until a couple of years ago, until the barn started to fall down.

I thought it was earlier than the guy said, it was full of stuff so I couldn't look at the vin under the back seat area, plus it had a locking hood latch, so I could not open the hood. Also, there was a latch at the Pass door post, that looked just like the top latches, it looks like it was added to keep thhe pass door closed.
