    For Sale 1968 GTCS 390/C6

    Greg I haven't been on here since I wrote that. Glad I checked. I would replace all the underside gaskets. Recently it did develop a slow oil leak at one of the gaskets. Not even noticeable on the dipstick tho. It doesn't burn thru oil. Engine is solid. Never over heats. I like the patina in...

    Hilarious. Something Special sets the bar amongst others on value in my opinion. And Mike's car didn't get that much. Then again my X code should get 50k based on that. Oh boy.
