Teal Blue and yes it can be better, if it had a matching block, trans and diff (but it doesn't)

I told him the other day that at best it's maybe a 50K car with the extra motor and original wheels/tires, but that it's far from being a 60K car with all the numbers MIA.

This morning I emailed him to say I was going to pass and waive any interest...unless the price comes down by 10K or more. If so, he has my number.

Sorry ,Grotto Blue is code D . When I referred to it doesn’t get any better, I was referring to the originality of the body . I realize it’s better with original drivetrain.

No worries here at all and was only saying...

I have a Grotto Blue 68 myself and simply love that color. I'm also liking the Teal Blue, Tripoli Turquoise and the list goes on. Did I mention I like Daytona Yellow too?

Chuck Sharin messaged me with some details of the family hoping to buy the car back, so I emailed the current owner back this morning with this message;

Bill,

Has Scott Griffith (Ray's son) been in touch with you? I hear that he and Roland's daughter Lindsey want to buy the car back. I'm only messaging you on this because you said you wanted it to stay in the PNW and what better way to keep the cars Legacy intact than by selling it back to the Griffith's after buying it from Barry.

As long as you guys can find a price that's right...it would be the cool thing to do.

Good luck...G

Hopefully they can work something out and hammer a deal to get it back to the family and the kid's of the original owners. That's where it belongs IMO

I guess Chuck messaging me and my sending an email to the seller kinda helped the cause as Bill emailed today saying that it's going home to Seattle.

Hi Graeme,
The car is going back home. I still have my dad's '68 he bought new here in Fairbanks and know exactly how they feel.
I had know idea they where interested in the car or I would of never listed it, but it all worked out well. Thanks again for all
info, as it's good just to bs with people with the same interest. Regards, Bill

Would be a cool story for members rides here. Someone should contact the new owners and invite them to the site,
