A bunch of price guide links: http://www.hvaa.com/free_used_car_values.htm


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.

Its a little high for it, not horrifying. Need to really check on little details though, she needs to be right to be worth that.

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.
