There's a few very small blisters on the chrome but I would rate it a 7-8 out of 10.For it's age it's in damn good shape!PM sent Tony.

Congrats on the purchase and I LOVE the '68s myself. To make a comparison with one LS-6 at B-J that sold on the cheap, to me isn't an accurate assessment of the market. There was also one that did almost $100,000 MORE! So how can you justify that comparison. And to compare it to the $42,000 Rallye Green car is another "apples to oranges" thing. I happen to like Rallye Greem, but I bet I'm in the moniority and my memory is telling me that car had no tissue; maybe this, maybe that. I'm not knocking the Green car, I like it. I can't see this car, but nobody on this site makes mistakes when it comes to cars and/or money, (or we wouldn't have either). I LOVE the Cragars and IMO, they need to be put back on after resto.
Again, congrats on the purchase and please keep us well informed of any progress. Please post any "parts needed"--I'll gladly part with something I'm not using.

Thanks for the post - I bought the car because it was an unrestored original-owner solid-lifter car with paper, which are becoming so rare these days. Because it's never been restored or significantly modified, I think it will be a pretty straightforward restoration. The more I get into it, the more surprised I am at how untouched it really is.
