You're right, it's a very nice looking car. Don't see any supporting documentation about the car. The engine compartment bothers me. The air cleaner doesn't look right for 1968, and I've never seen a hot air riser tubing adaptation like the one on this car. Also the breather on the drivers side looks more like the 80's style??

Overall appearance is very impressive. Are you thinking of buying it? You have a 68 right? Check out your engine compt and compare it to this one. Maybe you can clear up that issue with the air cleaner.

I've never seen a heat riser like that either. Maybe it was a california emission thing? Did they even have california emission devices in 68?

The air cleaner and hot air tube are correct for an 'air' car its' a 2 bbl; however the hub caps are not correct...

My 68 engine compartment is so far from where it came from the factory I can't even see it. So no comparo, amigo! Just thought this one looked cool, but too much for my wallet.
