Thanks for the kind words everyone! Im really enjoying the car, heres what I know about it. Its a real 900 tuxedo black car(407 red interior) build date Jan15 68. Pretty much all numbers matching(block, trans etc.) and has most of the right parts(alternator, distributor, radiator, etc.). Only parts I can find wrong are the carb(edelbrock 1901), intake manifold(has late 68 390 intake manifold but may be correct, not sure) and numbers on diff are illegible(3.70 ratio). Still has alot of the markings on the chassis and seems to be very original. Still need to remove the headers and reinstall manifolds and get the radio working but have removed the electric fuel pump, electric cooling fan, MSD ignition, rebuilt the water pump and fixed small things here and there, runs much better now. Anyhow, thanks again for the compliment and for all the help Ive received on the forum.

Makes me think about returning the interior of my 68 back to the factory red.
