Does any one know if a 67 sites a little lower on the passenger side as aposed to the driver side say about an inch at the tire? :confused:

No it should sit level, It may be years of holding up the spare tire in the trunk.
You are probably in the need for springs. Unless its a northern car then you need to weld in new spring mounts because yours are rusted though the floor! Ha Ha

I have heard that a "queen sized" girlfriend will make it sit like that.

This car has been pro streeted could that have anything to do with it. One person told me a good chasis builder does that, but it just doesn't seem right.

If the car is level with the driver in the seat, you might imagine that was intentional but it's a bit of a stretch.

Its hard to tell if its been wrecked at this point. The person who built the car says he never lost control of it. The passenger side seems to be low from front to back. Its really consistant too, 1" all the way. I never notice it until I got home from IL, I'm from Tx. I traded my harley for the car, which I thought to be a good trade at the time, but the more I work on it the more I wonder, was it such a good deal after all. I'm kinda learning a hard leasson I quess. This is my first 1st gen. I can only laugh at my situation and fix the probs I'm finding. Me being a perfectionist really makes things difficult at times. If I know somethings wrong and don't fix it, it really bothers me. I plan to keep the car for the long run, but If I do decide to sale I would hate for someone to think I sold them a car that was in bad shape.
