purchased this at the same time I bought the wagon --- couldnt help myself --

the gentleman that restored it started with a 40000 mile car -- original interior --

number matching -- turbo 400 -- 331 HD rear -- came with 14" wheels and spin ner hub caps , I addded the 67 Vet Starburst wheels , thhought a car of this class deserved the wheels

Beautiful car. The air cleaner is a 66-67 327 Small Block unit. I can help you with the correct 396 one if you you'd like to add the correct one to the car. The correct snorkel is about 2-3 inches shorter, is a little thicker, does not angle up, and has an oval bell welded into the end instead of the round one on the 327 air cleaner.

does it look like this one

the carb is a 69 unit -- seems 65 1st year for Qjet 7025200 early--- found one on ebay --

mot sure if it can be rebuilt by Phil at custom carbs -- he has my 69 Z carb for restoration--

when he calls that its finished I will ask about it

I will stay in touch about your air cleaner

Where did you get the Firestones?

pdphilson 02-24-2026 04:26 PM

they are easy to find -- check Summit 215 & 235 are the only sizes ( I think )

A neighbor had a Chevy in this color and I always loved it.
