Don't get your turban all twisted up buddy, we still love you!

To answer a couple questions: it's possible that early engines weren't stamped. However, the fender tag on this one puts it at a late build date.

Unfortunately, that fender tag is fake as discussed earlier. Probably why these guys didn't post a picture of it.

The dash reverse light would have been standard with the Hurst shifter (pistol grip didn't exist yet) which appeared in the early-mid 68 model year (late 1967 calendar year). Early cars came with an Inland shifter which has the handle that you have to raise to get into reverse so they didn't have a light.

That car has the extra trunk braces which would indicate an early build.

That is interesting I thought all 68s vin stamped blocks. Mine 68 was built sept 67 and has those extra trunk braces and the block does have the matching # vin stamped.

I thought it didn't start until January.  Cool.

So the vin tag is fake?
By the way...what does unicorn mean? A fake RT?

Unicorns don't exist.

Neither do 4-speed R/T with AC cars....or other supposedly impossible combinations.

  (without any proof)....a few unicorns have actually turned up from Ma-Mopar, but not very many.

And some unicorns are just genetic mutations created by Dr. Frankensteins.

Well, it sold for 68K.
This is the market now. High prices for 68's and 69's.
Unicorns or not!

I hate those rims more than any other rim I have ever seen in my life.
Air shocks ......no.
Thought all RTs came with hp blocks in Orange ?
Love the headers though, looks bad ass underneath.
If that car is worth $68,000 mine might be worth the $98,000 my insurance guy appraised it for. I told him he was crazy.

[Ghoste]

In 68 the blocks were still turquoise.  I would take that price as more a fluke than anything.
