I have been away for close to two weeks and just found this out. What a loss to our community.Talked with Dave many times over the years, hard to believe he is gone. RIP and condolences to Nancy and his family.

Quote from: Corey Bowcutt on October 02, 2026, 04:30:21 PMYes, they should be body color.

Corey
No they were not painted at first.They were not in place when the panel got painted,therefore they could not have been spray painted.There may be some evidence that A.O.Smith or selling dealers may have brush painted them after assembly on SOME cars, possibly to cover up rusting bolt heads before they shipped/sold them.There are photos of these cars coming down A.O.Smith's line were you can see the shiny plated and unpainted bolt heads. The only way I will accept a painted bolt head in this area is if it is brush painted after assembly.

Quote from: SHELB66 on September 30, 2026, 10:47:32 AMTo me it appears to be a 289 2bbl engine with standard exhaust manifolds (based on the one photo).

Damn even the rust is rusty! I think the only thing holding it together maybe the paint.Tree air freshener is a nice touch though.

Quote from: Coralsnake on August 18, 2026, 02:56:24 PMI think probably in the $15-20k range. High or low Mr B ??

They would have to be exceptional tires: tread depth and wear; sidewall/letter condition.
Tim has a point--is mine the last '68 Div I??
Don, so far yes yours has been the last Div.I 68 car and last one in a long time since your's.

I was listing in on a MD's conversation a few month ago and according to him research has shown that AI is wrong 40% of the time in medical diagnoses. Not the best of odds of getting you taken care of.

On C4 and C6 auto transmissions a leaking shift shaft seal is a very common problem

Make sure the brake booster push rod is adjusted to the correct length. If it is to long the brakes can be very sensitive.

Ask Scott Fuller he maybe able to help. A few years ago (3-4?) got a complete 66 GT350 system and he supplied white gaskets at that time. They were from a name brand company, it could have been Mr.Gasket.
