Excited New Roadster Owner!!!
Hi everyone! My name is Shelly I live in northern Illinois and I have recently bought my uncles '68 Roadster 2000!! I grew up in this car and when he told me he was selling it I just knew I had to buy it from him!!! I am super excited to have this amazing car BUT it is in a lot of need of some TLC!!!! I have already done some work to it but now I am finding it hard to fine the right parts to rebuild the carburetor. I am very glad I found this site with all it's vendors to help me get my Roadster back in driving condition!! I can't believe how much work needs to be done to get it road worthy!! If y'all can give me any advice or hints it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!
