Nice car for the money.

 

A 68 A/C four speed is rare as hell.... so rare that I don't think it was available....but hopefully Joe will chime in and let me know for sure....

 

it was.

 

I know the 68 442 order form says A/C wasn't available with an M21 or G82 or G92 which probably equate to 3:42 or lower gears so it must have only been available with an M20 or M13 and higher gear sets than 3:42.

There must have been a bulletin that over-rode the PIM info above

 

Nice car my favorite year what was the original color? And yes they did build'em I had one. Looks like the real deal the fender 442 numbers are in the right location (higher) due to it being a strip car.

 

I've one also, with an M20. It had a 3.23:1 rear in it originally., which I swapped to 3.42:1.

 

Beautiful car. The emblems are in the right place for the stripes right?

Little joke.

 

You're kidding, right?.......

The stripe was added to an original non stripe car...

 

The numbers were higher for strip cars, correct...
I stand corrected...

 

Lower and closer to the door

 

A pic that i saved from a couple of years ago. Might even be a members car.

 

The stripes were for W-30 only. I love how every 68 painted has the stripes. The 442 emblems were pushed back from the factory about 3/4 of an inch just for stripe clearance. Wow...

 

thats not true. The W36 stripes were optional and available on any 442 for $15.80. It was a MANDATORY option on the W30 option package.
