met member Big Bird yesterday  at a show in NJ. His Limelight Superbird won best original (stock) car    and was looking awsome and makes me think I cant wait until next year and hopefully I can have my Bird sitting next to his. 
My R/T and my Pops 87 Monte Carlo SS both won peoples choice awards....kinda like Thank You trophies.

You dont see alot of 68 RT conv around .I know a guy from back in the day that has 2 RT convs.  And yet to restore either one of them

[FJ5WING]

the pics arent the most recent just the most recent I have available. the master cylinder cover has been replaced along with a new hood insulation pad and the radiator has been freshened up.

Absolutely Beautiful! Love a ragtop!

[held1823]

the car is absolutely stunning.

this is a semi-hijack of the thread, but why i asked to see more photos. mine was a barn find from huntington, indiana back in the mid 1980's.  i drove it the 90 miles back home in the dead of winter, snowing the entire way. i had no defroster heat, no rear window, and no clue if it was even road-worthy. this is the one i still kick myself, for ever selling.

I'll bet that car even smells cool.

held1823,
thats a cool car for sure with the white interior and the rally dash!

why would it have the ralley dash ??  I thought R/T's just got the standard dash  ?  while the cheap lowly super bees got the ralley dash ?

[nascarxx29]

Dash I think was a option A62? Whats odd my 70 383 Super Bee had rallye dash .My 440 70 RT Coronet didnt

i'm pretty sure all superbees got the ralley dash ?   

[nascarxx29]

Thats true you never see a super bee with a long cluster .But a higher end car bigger motor they offered both clusters for 70 RT coronet.It should have had the rallye dash standard.

logic would say yes  , but all the R/T's i have ever seen have the long cheapo speedo and dash   
must have been a high dollar option that few chose

i once had a hand written accounting of the fender tag for the r/t, but have no idea what became of it over the years. the guy who bought the car from me (in 1991, i believe), was from minnesota. i've seen several 1968 hardtops with the rallye dash, but only a couple of other convertibles with it. i don't recall what other options this car had.

the '68 r/t that dad traded in for the daytona had the standard dash. when dad bought that car in early 1968 (from the same dealer the daytona came from), he says the dealer told him that they didn't even make an r/t convertible for 1968. this would have been early in the model year, but i have a vintage magazine that road tested an r/t convertible around that same time.

[FJ5WING]

I thought the rally dash was an option for the 68's...its definetly not a superBee.
