There appears to be much to be pointed out, but I will defer the experts here. Dependant on your knowledge base of 68's, if you are not conversant with them, reach out 1:1 with one of the members here or who you might know locally, whose expertise is 1968.

thanks for the compliments ...so far seems to be a well taken care car.   just picked up earlier today, had been sitting in a warehouse
since 2013 and not started.   Surprisingly it started right up after fuel tank flush, oil change.  the family has owned since 2003.  They were very sad to see it go
