I am going to Change the Front clip off the 69 Over to the 68 and replace The rear to look like a 69.

Tail lights are an easy change, but not the deck lid

Welcome to FBBO Boz! That's going to be one hell of a project.

Yeah it will be quit a project but for $200 I can't complain. Original Buckets,Console,Rear Seat,Rear End and Drive Shaft are all there so not to bad of a starting spot.

Looks like a Sport Satellite to me. Does it have a 383 ?

383 Sports Satellite is not very common. You may want to think about doing it stock. I kinda like the 68s better myself but the 69 in my sig was my first mopar.

Welcome !

Is there any place to find production numbers for 1968? I looked it did come with a 383 4bbl HP Engine.

according to my book-1,015 came with a 4-speed and 2,292 came with a auto. Actually more came with the 4-bbl then the 2 -bbl still I'd say a low production car
