A 68 WG is a manual trans 428 non-HO rated at 375 horse. Basically it is a twin of the HO less the long branch. It would have the 16 heads, 4 bolt mains, 067 cam and chrome dress up.
In 69 the non HO big car 428 got downgraded to 360 horse and it lost the chrome dress kit. Automatic versions also switched to small valve heads and 2 bolt mains. However the manual trans version (still WG) retained all the mechanical specs of the 68 (4 bolt, big valves, 067 etc).
Anyhow that engine is worth $1,500-2,500. That being said the car is still worth more than that. To me the body is junk but the combination of the engine, tranny and likely safettrack rear is worth $3-4,000.
If I owned a 68 full-size with a typical 400 2 bbl I’d buy the car to get the power train and a bunch of other bits.
