No floor or trunk pans needed here. Drives nice. Shifter a little sticky. Deluxe seat-belts and steering wheel. Should keep me busy a while. flambeaux burgundy, white top, black standard interior.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

Do you want my old burgundy seats? I think I am going to use my xtra '68 black deluxe seats and fold-down rear that I have lying around. Switch to black deluxe interior. Considering a 400 4-spd clone. Shouldn't be too tough a switch. Have an xtra set of bird glass now too.

Deluxe wheel had some cracks. But overall not too bad. Horn bird and bezel are perfect. This car spent most of the last 28 years in a dark garage. Chrome is perfect. Header chrome looks like new. Better than my 400 vert. Set of 5 JC rims too. Sent for PHS today too. I'll email more pix tomorrow.

Sometimes when they follow you home and they are that cute, your Mom will let ya keep 'em.
Nice score Craig, she's awesome !!!! That's quite a nice flock of '68's you are building there.

Yeah, I guess I'll keep her too. Thanks Doug! Still thinking about colors. Maybe the Mariner Turqoise would look better on the 'vert with the white top and the black interior. Anyone have nice pictures of '68 Aleutian Blue on a coupe? That's the original color of my 400 coupe. It's a VERY dark blue. Almost black.
