Why not a '68?

Nothing wrong with a good 68. Those that bitch about a 68 never owned one from new. The clean simple flowing lines of the Mako without dressup goodies distinguishing from all the rest of that 15 year run. In conclusion one of the most powerful years ever. Not many before or after can make a statement like that.
And I`ll drink to that...

68 is the only year in my opinion !
IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS ! How long does it take to fix a few problems that surfaced in a new production model. I love my 68 with all of the one year only items and sold a 67 convertible with the intentions of looking specifically for a 68. Wouldn't trade it for any other year. 68 and 69 are the only years with the gilles in the front fenders.

Opening the doors like this never leaves prints.
I use a tie-wrap to pop the flaps back up after the trips to the painters as they never remember. It's easier using a larger tie-wrap than the one pictured.
