Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
Well looks like Jon let the cat out of the bag.....
I have been aware of this truck for awhile now, attempted to buy from the estate but couldnt persuade them into a presale. I will be there and hope to do my part in giving it a proper home........

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
Wow. That truck is a real time machine survivor.
Hmm, It's interesting that the alternator bracket is orange. We had a discussion about that a few months ago here. Some were saying it's impossible. Here's another 68 survivor with an orange alt bracket. That auction hits all my hot buttons. A really nice vintage Chevy truck, John Deere 2 cylinder tractor and a vintage wheel horse garden tractor. I wish it were closer!

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
Wow. WOW.
That guy had some real taste! Nova....never been much of a fan but that one has bench seat and 3OTT? I'll send my agent with orders to get the truck, car, 1 motorcycle, some tools, and a few of the guns. *As if I could! LOL* |

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
Boy the more I look at that truck the more I like it. That's the first 68/327 with the original emblem on it that I've seen. I took an educated guess when I placed the reproduction 327 emblem on my 327 but got it wrong :-(.

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
That's a weird air cleaner for a 68 327. Is it an oil-bath type?

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
It looks like the water pump bypass hose is painted too. I never would have guessed that.

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
Notice the stainless mirrors - that's a pretty uncommon option, was it not?

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
The mirrors almost look to be period aftermarket to me. Pretty cool though.

Re: 68 custom camper with 4900 miles up for auction
That is just down right incredible. It seems many of the clean survivors we see can be found in the harshest climate states. at lest camping or fishing rigs. People who live there know better than anyone the effects of winter roads and these trucks sat stashed till good weather and only used for leisure
