    1968 Purchase

    I paid more than my car was worth, but the fun I had in it last summer and fall was priceless. It's not show quality, it's fun quality. I think I will have the metal work done, touch up those areas, and not dump 10-20k into it. When I got it, 2 collectors/hot rodders here told me, "It's...

    1968 Purchase

    Neil, if you read this; My car was in the East for a few years, after Long Beach. The engine compartment, battery area, trunk/gas tank area, and floors, are not rusty. I ran water into the cowl air slits, and no leaks. I do, however, have rust in the rear wheel lips. Some of the...

    1968 theft attempt/vandalism/disabled car

    Guten Morgen all, or Guten Tag, or Aben, or Nacht,,,,,I settled with the insurance company, they seem to be fair in their estimation.

    1968 theft attempt/vandalism/disabled car

    Good times, great memories ~ Long Beach did hit the skids for a while, but as they say in SoCal, 'there's no ghetto near the beach'.....like Venice had a dip, then a flip. I'll take a 2 b.r. termite-eaten dump there with a broken down 1 car garage in which to park my GTCS .....Has anyone...

    1968 theft attempt/vandalism/disabled car

    Mine too, 2000 Long Beach Blvd. Having any OC beach town as the dealership is really boss - e.g. Huntington or Redondo; very cool dealership locations to have on a Marti Report ! Especially if you were/are part of; or afficionado of, the LA/OC beach culture. At the risk of boring y'all...

    I am in Portland,Oregon, a looooong way from Loooooong Beach, (Cali, not Washington) where the car was originally sold. Why people keep moving here is a mystery (misery?) to me. Property & small business taxes here are outrageous, infill housing, endless traffic jams, potholes galore...
