Seen here before, but since you asked...
Bought from original owner Oct of '67. What we now call "Day 2" started immediately beginning with peeling off the SS stripes. I flogged the original 396 to death, Hurst, Hooker, Crower, 4:88s etc, etc, then an over the counter L88.
Since 1977 a '69 L78 that I've gone through twice.
Today it is unrestored with much original paint and 40K miles. MCACN Day 2 Display 2016 (Thanks Dan!!), MCACN MCR Cover Car Display 2017 (Thanks Arvid!!) and Day 2 Concours Gold.
