68? Hmmmmm, came out around the time alotta cars in Detroit were using hidden headlights... Pontiac GTO, Ford T-bird, Dodge Charger. Looking at the styling, it looks like it's rival was the 68-70 Charger. Nice car.
XLent comments comparing it to the out-of-reach overpriced muscle cars. I have a 68 XL $500 Convertible; according to the VIN it was born with a 428 but for some reason it has a 302 now. I know an old guy who had a 428 wagon - in the day - said it got 8 MPG, maybe that's why? 160 mile range..?! And man, do these cars ever RUST. The body AND the frame have rust-thru and rear body has had major repairs... TWICE...
This is my car. I was eating down at the cafe down the street when you took it. I am rebuilding the engine currently with .40 bored over and an rv cam. The paint is all original same with the engine and everything besides a 650cfm 4bbl carb. I get 10mpg and it has a fuel cell in the back. Ill post some pics of the rebuild on here!
Best of OPC.

Import killer.
Nuff said.
Hoooo the hidden headlights set that whole front stance OFF. Sweet to see a big menacing coupe in red too!
Based off the Galaxie, btw.
I have one! :)
