Yeah, I saw that too. Usually you will also see overspray on the spare tire tub but I didn't see any on this particular car.

Yes, definitely. And its pretty close to me. The pop looks good.

As long as the car is solid, somebody is going to get a nice deal when they get it. It does look like it has has some fglass damage by the fender and hood where they meet, like someone said, maybe a fire

I thinks it's been pretty well documented over the years that 68's got the black out treatment starting between the 3500-4000 car range. I guess that puts it in October maybe. Its in MF Dobbins book. The Dobbins book is very old, I think released sometime in the early 80s but that's precisely why the book is so good. All the pics in the book show cars that were not very old and didnt get a chance to get too modified by previous owners.

If it was mine, then I would do absolutely nothing, I think it looks cool.

Especially the color combination looks great.......
