    i bought the 68 in 1972 as the third owner. it was a bare bones car with a 396/375 4 speed and 4:88 gears. the first owner (which I met)drove it off the lot and when home removed the engine and added some go fast goodies. he bought it strictly for racing.
    the engine went south on me in 1975 and just married the year before I had no money to get it back on the road. so it remained garaged for 36 years.
    in 2011 I started on it. 90% restoration
    today it sports a 540 horse 515 torque small block, Muncie 4 speed with gear vendor overdrive and 3:55 gears
    .

    nice thanks for following up
    nice looking car and story [^]

    story sounds a bit familiar my oldest 69 ( one I have had 40 + years ) was a factory 396 car I blew the engine in 76 , local speed shop just traded with one already done ( so much for numbers matching [:(]) I stripped it down including most of the sheet metal about 25 years ago just keeps getting side tracked . now retired hope to get it back together
    I bought one about 12 years ago another 69 to help the itch of having a driving one
    its was just a plain jane that had been played with had a 396 and 350 turbo
    I put a 454 60 over 11 1/2 pistons and 600 lift cam 4:11 and muncie 4 speed just fun to drive its a copper color looks a lot like yours
