Default '68 Ventura Wagon

I am going to pick up this '68 Ventura Wagon next Saturday. Was a 428 car. Missing engine, but I have a 428 short block. Loaded Wagon with power windows, power seats, tilt wheel, factory gauges and disc brakes! Needs a few missing items like the side cornering lights, maybe a rear bumper. Anyone have these items?

Neat car. The pictures don't show factory gauges nor power windows, but do show power locks. Those power locks will be vacuum actuated... Seeing a tilt column and power seat is pretty cool though!

So interesting the options people selected on these cars back then. Power locks but not power windows. This car has some nice options on it, but as another said, looks like a big project. Could be really cool though. Obviously not very many others like it.

I was thinking the same thing on the options. My 67 GP has the extra set of seat belts for the rear seat. Most people weren't thinking about seat belts in 67?
