Hi guys,
I am looking at possiably picking up a pair of 1967 500 2dr fb. I have yet to look at them but they look like a good base to start my own gal the way I want it. (the 66 xl vert is way to nice and original to hot rod) So what should I be looking for or be aware of with this year galaxie. I know the frame rot issues all to well with the 65s up. What should I look at for the body ( such as bad bondo, accidents, and the evidence beating the snot out of it or drag racing) and anything that would make you say "I'll give you $100 more than you will get from the scrap yard for it" Basically it boils down to what you tell someone completely new to buying an old car to be very well aware of and what is a complete basket case to walk away from.
If i pull the trigger on them, I am thinking maybe...oh I don't know...a 460 under the hood.
As always, Thanks for info.
