you gotta put the brakes on it every now and then
at least he didnt spell brakes as "breaks" like alot do.
that would be real bad news then......

Interesting car with the painted top! Looks to be a base 1bbl car with a Hurst shifter added to the 3-speed Saginaw?

It does have Power steering, and the 69 only timing belt cover, but the air cleaner lid apears to be painted, but correct for a 69, and you can not read any of the emblems from the bad pic's. Standard Interior with Delux Steering Wheel. Still an interesting Surviver!!!!!

Anyone else see any additional options?

The dash looks like it is not cut up for an aftermarket radio so can the radio be OE? I thot the FM's had chrome push buttons?

Strange options for a base OHC. For a car that appears to be mostly there it wouldn't take much to get it road worthy and looking good.

wow another sun tach in your face
Ive had my various 68s set up that way for over 40 yrs.
Still kicking myself for getting rid of the first one I had bought in 69.

How About a 68 Tempest Convertable? Looks pretty good. You do not see many OHC-6 Powered 68 or 69 A-body's The only options I see is Auto Trans & Pwr Steering!!!!!

But youre right not many OHC-6 convertibles.

Default Very basic

The three chrome pieces on the flanks are a dead giveaway.
