No difference



Questionable



And?



Available in 68.



I love my buttons.



By adding Stingray scripts to the fenders?



Nothing wrong with 327s.



Posi was optional until 1970.



Same roll center.



Yawn. When driving, I can't any real difference between 7s or 8s.



Arguable.



Only late (May 67) and was back on the job in time for the long lead press review.

What you drive is your choice. What the rest of us drive is our choice.

Totally AGREE with you...I love my 68. .

Well since we are getting to the smallest of differences,my 69 has additional fiberglass laminated under the nose cone. I suspect it's there to stiffen up the area where the hood corners are cracked on my 6t8. Now for a big plus for the 68; a roadster without the headrest option, the top down the only thing above the body line is the windshield. Now that is a clean look and 1 year only, a 68. T
