68 RR RM23 HT 67k Mile Calif. car

I have no before photos, "of any of my cars unfortunately", I've never been a big camera guy, I just started to use a digital camera lately, not very well I may add...LOL...mine a 68 RR RM23 HT decor package had pretty much everything there, pretty complete original 67k mile 383ci 727tf 8-3/4" car, but had a couple inch deep crease down the whole driver-side, full of a bunch of pine needles, crappy carb & needed tender loving care, now allot of new mechanicals, bigger & better stroker 479ci 6bbl, but very little rust & Always a California Car it's whole life "thank goodness", now since been repaired & modified/changed a bunch of the parts, allot to go still, when I ever get any more extra cash to throw around, I probably have another $5k in parts on the shelf, that still need to be added/changed or need to buy, for the finish product I want {other than paint}, but I need still some other parts before, I can install "most" that I already have & only want to do it one more time preferably, before paint hopefully, that's a big hurdle sometimes, when you have to spend a ton of money on house projects or just sometimes getting by in the current economy here... Procrastination or testing my patients, at it's best...LOL...

25 years ago, I wasn't much into cameras either plus they were 'illegal' at the plant I worked at back then and I went to look at it after work one day. It was in the area. This pic is after I had it for a short while and stuck on some better tires on cop car wheels. /6, auto, ac and it ran pretty good but the paint sucked for 1150 bucks. And it had been raining that day....

If i had known about matching numbers, originality and all the important stuff before i bought it i would have missed a great deal on a real R/T SE.

Looked pretty much like it does now, anything fixed or upgraded you wouldn't really notice. Needed something ready to drive.

3 years later, and this is what I am finishing up with. It is amazing to others what we are able to 'see' under all that 'stuff'!

Oh, yuck!!!! It's amazing what a little fluff & buff does to a car isn't it? Paging Cr8crshr?
