Talk about neighbors... 😎 I am about 56 miles from you. I read through these forums just about every day. I have a ‘66 4 door project that is stalled out at the moment. Welcome aboard, and post some pIctures.

Welcome! Nice looking '68 'vert, my favorite year. Interesting combo w/ column shift, buckets and console. What's under the hood? Is that your collection / museum in the background?

Oh no, I wish it was my collection! It's was the photograph the dealer used in the online ad. I'm finding it's a bit of a unicorn. Yes, original bucket seats, column shift, 350 4 barrel, 2 speed ST-300 transmission. Everything is all original except one repaint with factory color and swapped rims. The console is out of a 71 with incorrect insert. I've got an original insert on the way. The build sheet came with the car.

Welcome to the site, it has been tremendously helpful to me. I'm in Asheville and there is a Smokey Mountain Club that gets together a few times a year, you may want to check it out.
Willow Gold all nice and shiny is a nice color and easy to live with. Looks good on all 68 GM carlines and body styles but especially on higher trim level cars.
And whether you like it or not, it beats the hell out of white, silver or charcoal. Chrysler has an especially heinous gray out now. Looks like a battleship and seems about half the newer Challengers and RAM pickups around here are that gawdawful color.
I think these awful modern car colors and esp interiors are part of why the US is so depressed and divided. When all you see are depressing and bleh white, gray and silver, it's like a spate of gray rainy dreary days. Makes ya crazy...
The 68 looks great, really nice shape, I'm sure you will enjoy driving it, as opposed to spending far more time working on it than driving it.
I agree, I don't get the "Battleship Gray" and there is a few others out there that will be looked back upon as ugly for many years. Then one day some of them will come back, maybe.

[QUOTE=allyolds68;1291015]Beautiful car. I really like those chrome SSIII's as well. You can probably sell that 70-72 console and make enough to buy a 68 console and shifter
