68 GTX. 440-4 Automatic. 3.23 gears with Sure Grip. Green exterior with green bucket seat interior. Console. AM radio. Turn signal on fender. LH outside remote mirror. Someone ordered the car. Scheduled production date of June 11th, 1968. Built at St. Louis plant so the VIN starts RS23L8G

Yes. Wrong screws.

Postage Stamp Tach has been added, but I like it & if it were mine I'd probably add it too...

Yea,your right!But is that not a 1969 horn pad?

The 68 GTX gets a 2/3 horn ring and a covered button.

There are websites out there that aid you in reading your fender tag; get in the habit
of doing research yourself. Google is your friend...

Regrettably, most online decoders are poorly done and allow for errors. they do not have an if/then filter to omit impossible combinations. With newbies, the errors or lack of clarity increases confusion that requires human explanation anyway. They do a poor job of 69 and up Lynch Road tags. Plus, online decoders cannot detect fraudulent tags. Generally with online decoders 'garbage in, garbage out."

So while admirable, online decoders fall short of what humans can offer. They can be a good start, but in the end, humans do a better job.

Trust, but verify.

That particular one does take some fiddling around with/getting used to in order to get proper results,
granted....but it can be done with a modicum of effort.
The point I was trying to make is that folks need to not be so quick to expect others to do their due diligence
for them.
