I bought this 68 CST for parts back in January from a wholesale auctioneer that I thought had a dead 307 but after I put in a new coil it roared to life w/ a jumpstart! It has a lot of compression from the way it shuts down and a hell of a jump at acceleration. I had never drove it...I pushed it off the trailer! Sprayed some B-12 Chemtool on the choke and linkage and it warms up really quick. The under-the-passenger-side head/block stamp starts with CE. That equals Crate Engine-or a warranty replacement I think. It is not the 327 that came with it.
I drove it last Saturday and it is tight from the throwout bearing to the rear-end. Good bed and full CST trim.
BUT!
Look at the dash! WHO thinks DUCT tape is the answer here!!!

Anyway, thought we might start a chuckle about "dumbass PO moves..."
