Repaint was done a very long time ago and you can tell how solid the truck is with no “fresh” repairs that will pop up later. Paint is faded but still shines and has two areas where the paint has lifted off. One on the cowl and one on the top of the driver's side front fender. The car has a great patina look to it.Interior is original with it's original White Parchment seat with black components, original carpet (slightly faded but no tears), door panels, headliner (beautiful), etc. No cracks in dash. Interior trim shows typical wear from 52 years of use but it's complete. Original seat has one small tear approx 1”. Glass is good, no cracks or fogging, door rubber is tired. Bed of the truck has some dings but no rust, no big dents and shows it wasn't used hard. Bumpers are solid but have similar patina. Dual exhaust.GT wheels and grill emblem. Was told it was ordered with many GT options but did not include the 4 barrel to avoid the higher insurance rates in 1968 of being an official GT car.Truck was sent to the local restoration/mechanic shop to look over once again before listing for sale. He found nothing wrong other than the typical FE motor exhaust manifold gasket leak on passenger side. Car runs and drives great. Mileage reads under 37k but can not be verified. Drive “as is” or would be a very easy restoration candidate with little work needed before repainting. Please feel free to call or write with questions, to arrange an inspection or test drive.
