Someone replaced the lower radiator hose and thoughtfully slid the original clamp up onto the radiator neck and left it there. They replaced it with an incorrect albeit more functional worm clamp. Corrosion likely residue from original hose leaking. I don't see a problem here...

This is an original paint, 56 year old Mopar. It's not going to be 100% rust free!

It's a rare factory "stripe delete" bee. I would argue that it adds to the value. "88" on the fender tag signifies the stripe delete...

On this we agree.
Why not? Gateway is a classic car dealership. Many or all of the vehicles they sell are on consignment. They're not in the business of making every car they sell perfect. This car looks like a very solid original that could use a little work to bring it up to snuff.
Any time you purchase any old car you're rolling the dice.
Again, I agree with you on this. BUT, Keystone Klassic wheels are a period correct "day two" modification and they closely resemble Magnum 500's. They get a pass in my book for anything that's not a "points correct" restoration. I prefer Cragars or 5-slots but Keystones are definitely appropriate.
I have no idea what "Bart" (guessing this is the OP) paid for his '68. It's a nice car. Not perfect, but nice. I was responding to
@Billccm when I posted the link to this car:
I feel like this car is similar spec to Bart's '68. Green on green, no vinyl top, and a '69. I have no association with Gateway Classic Cars, the consignor of this particular car (if there is one) or "Bill." I just remembered seeing it recently and based on what he said, thought Bill might like to have a look at it.
