Just registered here. Been reading alot since I bought my 68 bird a couple weeks ago. In the process of getting it PHS certified to see what I have. I know it's a v8 car by the vin but it has a 160 speedometer and a hurst dual gate shifter. It was also special ordered a metallic blue. I hope to know exactly what I have soon.
Welcome, I lived in Hendersonville for a couple years and Nashville for a couple after that while attending grad school.
FWIW, all '68s had the 160 MPH speedo, someone more learned on the manual shifters will have to chime in. There were 5 regular shades of blue(when you include meridian turquoise) and one special order shade, windward blue.
