Of all things ,my son and I just pulled up at the mopar show in tn. and we where unloading our swap meet stuff and a older fellow pulls up . Maybe he's looking for something .No ,he said did I know anyone looking to buy a 68' F.B. bcuda parts car? well ? He used the frt. cap for his 67' conv. and the 68' has been in the house for 10 yrs. House ?I'm more interested now! But the rear end has been sticking out in the weather tho.Price was fair .Maybe some rust .It was on our way home so I said we'll take a look .It was in the house OLD log house that had been added on to.Lumber and tin piled on and leaning on the cuda . The rear trunk is rusted out some rot at the 1/4's not bad at all green mose growing on the north side 1/4 panel .Mostly complete 318 and auto still all there !He thought the motor was bad ?Buckets ,console gone door panels gone ,floor looks good .Went back sat. and got it !Ended up making a trade for some parts for the 67 conv.Happy yes. Will I ever fix it ? Don't know Would make a great race car !I just mentioned to my son you never know what you will hear or find at a show!
