This rare 68 RS/SS was owned by a little old lady who wasn't old when she purchased the car new in 1968. She owned
it for 35 yrs. then in 2003 she sold it to her neighbor who'd been begging to buy it for years. He had it painted,
the L48 engine totally rebuilt, and the Muncie transmission rebuilt to factory specifications. I purchased the car
from her neighbor in 2016 in Carlisle P.A. Since 2003 there has only been a little more then 20, 000 miles put on
this beautiful machine. This RS/SS is in excellent condition a strong # 2. # 1 being a trailer queen # 5 being a
basket case. The interior is in great condition the high back headrest bucket seats are NOT original they are from
a 69. The only thing it needs is each bucket seat has a 2 inch area that has to be restitched. These are NOT tears
it's right on the seam where the stitching separated in the exact same spot on each seat. I was quoted a price of
$206 only $103 a seat but she can't take it until after the new year. The hideaway headlight switch needs to be
replaced too but also can't be repaired until after the new year. I only bring my cars to one shop, the good news
is he does a great job, the bad news is sometimes you have to wait. I recently had a new heater core replaced, oil
change and 4 new quality tires added. In my 55 yrs I've owned at least 45 muscle cars mostly big blocks. There's
only two small blocks I've owned that can not only hang with the big blocks but beat some one is this RS/SS, the
other an 70 AAR Cuda I owned a couple of years ago. The paint still shines great 8.5 - 9 out of 10 there's only a
couple of little nicks & one spot by the antenna that could use a little attention. The convertible top is in
excellent condition along with the tonneau cover. This is one very rare & special vehicle. Power steering seems to
be the only option. Of course it has dual exhaust, 12 bolt rear, I'm not sure of gear ratio.
