I cannot help but add this --> Find somebody who really know their stuff around these cars. Take him with you to look at potential purchases. It is very, very easy for a newbie to get badly burned.

Re: ADVICE?????????????? (Black68Vette)
Restoring a '68 is a bit of a challenge, psychologically. In other words, if not already, it will make you nuts.
Several one-off 1968 only parts that are hard to find (read: expensive) when restoring. Hope it has all the door locks.
