    Hey Claudio, Welcome to the forum! You have a unique and very cool Longroof there! Do you mind my asking how you got the old girl home? I see you live in Florida and the wagon came from North Dakota. (that's quite a haul) The reason I ask is that I found a possible parts wagon in South Dakota, I'm in western New York. Did you have it shipped or did you pick it up yourself? Thanks for your time. Deane.....Longroofs Rule!

    Glad you found us, welcome aboard. There are a bunch of Pontiac fans here, my ' 68 Beaumont is a Pontiac, cousin to the Chevelles, but has no fins...love your fins. It looks to be in a selvage state and being a mechanic might lend to the project.

    Nice to meet you:tiphat:from Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Yes crank is on out side of tailgate.....
    Has three positions.... open fold and lock....(I think)
    Problem is it will not turn....
    Feels like regulator is bound..... I don’t want to force it.....

    Sounds like you'll have to take off the access panel and give the regulator a bath with pb blaster or your favorite rust buster....Longroofs Rule!

    Clauido , Question does your tailgate have a key lock or is it remote maybe and some close up pics would help those in the know . :cheers: from Downunder

    I was assuming that there is a access panel on the inside of the tailgate? I had a issue with my 65 vista (mines electric) had to crawl into the way back area and take it off lying on my side. Do you have a access panel?....Longroofs Rule!
