'68 W30 conv. project

can I get $25k for the '68 California car project?
"a" G400 and 425 that's in it
"some" real D heads- date uncared about
THE correct OW trans
all manner of extra parts and some NOS stuff
Needs a top and paint and everything else.

'cause then I could get one of these:

Preeecisely.

That's no slouch of a Charger.

Not too many real '68 W30 convertibles left, even if not every last hose clamp is "numbers matching" - at least I have "a" G400 and "a" set of D heads. I think I have one J intake left that has not been converted to '69 H/O configuration. All the trims. Bumpers. Not rotted away, it's a CA car. Black and Gold plate.

What's the W30's color combo & what "proof" that it's a W30? & where's it at?

The "proof" is the OW trans with "numbers matching" VIN stamp.
The rest of the pieces tell the story
manual brakes
red IFW's
rot like that
The trans says it all though.

Original color was I forget goldish P or something like that

by law, as you know, all convertibles must be repainted red.
Currently red with black stripe and duct tape silver top.

here it is a LONG TIME AGO
