Two BB 68's beat all the 69's at the Maryland (ACES) Show this year.

You had to get that jab in didn't you Bill

Your points are very well taken. When it comes to this stuff we have to watch our wording I guess as "adjectives" can mean different things to different people. There is "Top Quality" as referred to in my original post, then there is "Awesome" for cars like yours and Dave Belk's L79.

For the sake of our readers let me say that Bill's machine was the Peoples Choice "Favorite Chevelle" at this year's Northern Chevelle Gathering which had about 160 vehicles in attendance so he has a good handle on quality

The column shift certainly doesn't help any. My experience at the dealership supports '68's lagging everything else '66-70, and the column shift turns off a lot of buyers who envision floor shifting in their musclecar fanatasy. I'd err on the side of caution when negotiating this one.

Don... I appreciate the accolades, but thats really not what I was going for. I was just trying to make the point that the 68 are getting more popular. Your right, there are a lot of $15,000.00- 68's out there and there are different levels of restoration. I'm partial to the 68's I guess, cause my first car was a used 68 SS-396 Chevelle when I was in high school. Whoa thunk we'd be sending internet messages about these cars 25 years later ??? Bill

I love column shift cars...one of my favorite *collections* resides at Dan Jensen's. GM a-bodys, all with column shift automatics. LS6, Judge, 442, T-37...I know I'm leaving some out, but that to me is COOL...

I'm a bench seat Hurst T-handle 4 speed kinda guy myself.

As long as they are not bringing 66 SS Money.. I feel safe

A smart man would buy any 68 he could if the price was right, it won't be long before the Desirability and Money meet!
