    My '68 coupe, or is it a '67

    Besides what has been brought up already, the dash panel, steering wheel and seat vinyl is slightly different between the two. All of these could be easily changed but it seems that maybe the previous owner just liked the 67 grill? A 67 steering wheel is a three spoke with the big center...

    My first car was a 67 hardtop in red with a black vinyl top and interior, my second car was a 67 convertible with the same color combination. This was back in 78/79. Fixed up the convertible with my dad good enough that I drove it until 85 when the frame started to get real bad. Other things...
