Thinking about going to Mecum in Kansas city to check out this 67 GS .
Anyone have an idea what these cars are bringing in average condition  ?
looks like some overspray on the frame and a scrape o the left quarter .

Looks like a nice car.  Can't say that I have ever seen a flame red 67 before.  Note that it has 66 center caps on the wheels, so the car may not have originally come with the chrome road wheels.

Thanks Dan for the reposting the link , I don,y know what I did there .
Chuck , Yeah thats the plan . I showed Kim and she likes it for now until we find another car we like better .
I,ve been watching the Mecum auctions and cars like this sometimes slide thru pretty reasonable .

Best of luck if you decide to go for it!  This could be a good temporary parade car until you find just the right Wildcat!   :thumbsup:

John,
   ChuckNixon over on the V8 board would be a good contact concerning a 67 GS. He bought a 67 vert at Mecum last year for $35k, it's a real nice one.

John,
  Have you seen this one?  It is on CL and at an upholstery shop I use regularly that is about 7 miles up the road from my house.  340 4bbl, PW, AC, rear defrost.  Looks like a really nice car.  If you are interested in it, PM me and I can go check it out for you tomorrow.

Brian ,  That looks like a pretty nice car for the money . Unfortunately my wife wants a convertible . But thanks for the heads up .
John Egel , thanks so much for the offer for a place to stay . I will keep that in mind and let you know my plans as soon as i can .
That sounds like it would be a fun time .
As of right now its looking pretty promising to make this trip . The list of cars for this auction is pretty short right now so I,m hoping they get some more nice cars in the line up .
Walt , that car Chuck Nixon bought must be pretty nice , hoping not to spend quite that much .

Looks like a mostly original car.

Has the radiator cross bars
Heater hose holder
Correct molded heater hose, with a tag, wonder where they fond that?
Driver fender has rust bubbles in the rear and a dent in the front.
Looks like it has had brake lines at least on the master cylinder.
May have a factory AM/FM
Looks like some kinda of a gauge in the clock area.
Missing the drivers side trim cap by the top of the quarter glass base.
Correct valve covers with plug wire holder.
As somene else said, incrrect center caps, They are 66 long bird, but GS had tri-shield

That is about all I see, withhout downloading the pictures and enlargeing them but about all you may see is more body bubbles.

Oooooh, baby, it's even Verde Green!  John, you need to buy it before I get tempted!   :laughing7:

I'd love to see the part numbers on the carbs.  It's not all original (dual master power brakes, etc.) but the right carbs would be a major plus!

If you need a partner for a road trip, let me know!
