Oh, I know. We're products of the '80's, remember?  ;)
The car still wasn't even finished when that was taken, circa 1987.

Good for you, Bill. Is this the car that you are doing  the A/C swap we talked about?

My '68 hasn't been featured in a publication in almost 30 years. It was in 2 issues of MoPerformance magazine back in the late '80's. The car had a 318 still back then. One was a double-feature article with an orange '69 Charger, also a 318 car. We were at a show at the same time, and the editor of the magazine liked the cars so much he did a double feature on them.
