This deal has been in the works for a few weeks, but considering I'm in NY and the truck is in CA, it's a challenge.
Non-the-less, it was picked up today enroute to Las Vegas to meet up with it's 'brother' (my '68 BB 4sp Utility).
I've been hoping to find an original paint patina'd '67/'68 and and not even realizing there was such a thing as a "50th". Once I saw the Gold/Ivory paint scheme I was hooked.
I then stumbled upon one on CL (and while I was communicating with the owner, ...it showed up here on "CL finds" lol )
Anyway, we agreed on a price and the rest is history.
It's an original 292 6, with Turbo400.
My plans are to lower it, and since I already have a 350 SB with turbo350 trans, put those in (or leave the 400 trans). Most of all, I want to keep the patina look, and just do all the mechanicals.
My brother in Vegas thinks I'm nuts, but I'm excited to get this one.
I don't have many pics yet, but here are a few:
Just being picked up...
...and as someone on here noted, ...it even comes with "homemade whitewalls"
