Looks like Firebird headlights under the bumpers. I would have liked to see more pics of the car.

The lines of the car look more like a C2 than a C3.

I agree but it says it's a '68. There are some more killer cars on that site in the Gallery. Some of the sleds are very cool! :cool:

I'm gonna research it some more. It looks more like a midyear than a shark. I think the site has it wrong.

Re: Carzy Looking '68 (verskel)
