Story:

This commissioned project began as a one owner survivor with less that 140,000 km since new.  Our client wanted to have a "new" 1968 Series, and we followed through.  The vehicle underwent our full frame off restoration process in which no expense was spared.  Along the restoration it received upgrades such as the Roamerdrive overdrive, Mansfiled heater, and our custom power steering, among others.  This improved its drivability dramatically, making it a vehicle that can be enjoyed year round.
