INTERIOR:
Seats were recovered utilizing the correct 1968 houndstooth
fabric with new top and bottom foam for front seats with original seat
backs. The front door panels are original and in incredible condition
for 55 years.
The air conditioning duct work and vents were replaced as the years had not been kind to those materials.
The dash pad was replaced as the original had become brittle. The
carpets, rear side panels, sail panels and headliner were replaced.
Original AM radio still operates. No plastic interior parts were
painted. Original GM paint on dash and surround remains and in excellent
condition.
All original gauges and bezels remain. Original center console still
in place but sadly the clock could not be restored to operate but its
face and bezel are in perfect condition.
EXTERIOR:
All glass except the rear is original as the side windows still display the now unavailable “Astro Ventilation” glass etchings.
All bumpers, window moldings are original. The grills and Rally Sport headlight covers are also original to the car .
Rally Sport specific vacuum lines and canisters were replaced and new headlight lamps.
All weatherstripping was replaced.
The car received new Grotto blue paint which was its original color with a new OEM thickness black vinyl top as original.
Paint was upgraded to base coat with 3 coats of clear.
We went a little off script with the bumblebee nose but it makes the car.
All black out RS subdued highlights were repainted as original. The
original RS fuel tank cap remains. Original oval antennae mast and base
are still present.
Drivetrain and Chassis:
The L30 327 275 horsepower engine was completely rebuilt. The
block was in incredible condition and still utilizes its original
pistons and other internal components. The double hump heads were pinned
and are as original.
The distributor was internally updated to a pertronix points conversion but externally still appears as factory from 1968.
The power glide transmission and differential only required gaskets and seals as all internal parts were in great condition.
The car still utilizes its original GM single exhaust pipe from engine to muffler. Muffler and tail pipe were replaced.
All air conditioning components were replaced or rebuilt to upgrade the
Freon. The power steering pump was rebuilt so is original to the car.
All brakes and steering were replaced or rebuilt. As a safety concern,
the front brakes were upgraded to disc brakes.
The mono leaf springs were upgraded with 5 leaf springs to provide comfort and safety.
The original 14 inch wheels were replaced to accommodate the front
brake conversion with 15 inch rally wheels with stainless steel center
caps and BF Goodrich tires.
