Sounds like an interesting '68, Mike.
Pictures would help your sale and you failed to tell us whether it's an automatic or 4 speed.

Pictures and details like colors generally go farther on the forum than being prosaic does.

they are supposed to be painted but I got the car with the valve covers Chrome so somewhere in the original 42 years of ownership the owner decided to put chrome valve covers on. I don't know why.
