Spiral Shocks for 1968
Short answer: Correct numbered 1968 Firebird “spiral” (Delco) shocks are very hard to find. The basic configuration was shared across 1967–69 Firebirds/Camaros and 1968–72 Novas, so the closest you’ll get are NOS front shocks (mid-to-late-’70s date codes) sold in Hemmings for ~$120/pair — not exact number-matches, and ride comparison unknown.
Be cautious buying NOS shocks 30+ years old — like old decals, hoses, and weather seals, the internal seals may be degraded; “NOS” doesn’t always mean better. No current reproduction or reliable rebuilder was known at the time, despite the wide application.
