Hi There! we have been the proud owner of a 67 270 for about 3 years. found it on craigslist but talked myself out of buying it, that is until my daughters saw it. Whats a father to do?? we went and looked and made a deal ($1100) had to have a jerry can for the gas tank but drove it home. Every time we stopped we had to wait for the transmission to shift into first again, great adventure! it has been sitting partially gutted since, but now is the time to get going. we are planning a complete restomod, so I am sure I will be using this forum a lot. so thanks in advance for the help.

Good to know that there is some fairly close. We bought it in Maple Falls, Are you enjoying yours or is it a project? \n\nTrev

Ours is a ground up restore. Gonna attack the mechanical first then do the exterior. The inside will be the last. Not looking forward to electrical either. \n\nTrev

The electrical can be a bear. I am trying to fix a few issues under the dash where some of the wiring had been crossed up.
