    Ted is your GS a true black car with white GS rally stripe?
    Car looks to still sport original paint?

    Yes, the paint and stripe look to be original - the triple black 4-speed really got my attention!

    That stripe does look original, notice that the top stripe does not go beyond the front of trim. That is how the factory did it and most aftermarket installations do not duplicate this small detail.

    bench seat 4-speed :)

    will have work cut out on the 68 - missing some of the interior and lots of rust.
    Any more 68 3 pedal cars out there? Chris Lance?

    I'm pretty sure I measured the stripes and took pics of them for a board member when I had this car, was that you Mike?

    Could have been since I am always looking for more information on these cars:TU:. I have since acquired an NOS section of a '68 stripe and the factory assembly manual shows where they are supposed to be located. Someday I may try a set on my car.
