A 68 1/2 ;-) 69 doors and mirror but otherwise a 68. There is a factory photo of sort-of the opposite blend of this on the internet... a supposedly 69 executive wagon with all the 69 body but with 68 spec vent windows and a 68 dash pad and wheelcovers.

The lack of vent window is the difference (other than trim difference on the inside). Also the car has a 69 style square mirror, it’s mounted further forward than a real 69 mirror or way forward of a 68 mirror of course.
