I see that the post is almost a year old but . . . I have a nightshade green, numbers matching, 350 convertible, but it's an automatic that I've been using as a 'cruzer' for about 20 years now. a stock survivor, no modifications but plenty of maintenance and TLC, brand new top and interior, garaged of course. not 'show' quality but turns heads when on the road.
wasn't looking to sell but I happened upon this site while researching '68 literature and saw this post . . . it may be a 'sign' that it's time to sell (if your friend is still looking).
