Well it is a J code 302 which makes it a fairly rare car. Pretty early production at Metuchen plant as it is the 5762 one made. I'd spend the money on a Marti report and you'll get all the original info for the car. StuK

I dunno how much I'd spend, but from someone who has been there, floors are expensive! And as you mention, if the floor is gone, frame rails and torque boxes need to be replaced too. I loved my old 67 to the end of the earth, but it's a lot of work and money to bring them back... maybe you should seriously consider something already restored... let the other guy eat the cost..

Brad that is great advise but I have already restored 1 66 convertible and don't think this is that big of a challenge. I enjoy the work in restoring them. Then once their finish I loose interest. I think I think I enjoy the hobby in bringing them back.
