Default 68 vette ignition switch

I recently purchased a 68 vette with an old Ecklers Front and Rear Body kit. VIN confirms it is a 68 but it has saddle tan interior and the ignition switch is on the telescopic only column no signs of it ever being on the dash. Has anyone seen a 68 with a telescopic only (no tilt) column with the ignition switch on the column? This does have the 327 which matches the VIN for a 68 but the interior doesn't match a typical 68.

Nope.. no 68 had the switch on the column. Someone has modified the car. Post some pictures of the interior and I'm sure someone here can identify it.

I agree. The ignition is in the dash for all 68s.
