What a BEAUTIFUL '68 fastback

[aoc racer]

shifter and steering wheel ruined it IMO

don't forget the wheels. Other than that it's a really nice car.

i believe the shifter is apart of trying to move the shifter closer to the person and still having a "short throw". similar to the 05+ stangs if you have ever seen an aftermarket shifter.
here is what mine looks like...sorta. i dont have the console or the woodgrain.

nothin beats an old hurst shifter stickin up out of an old hotrod!

Ooooo, nice '66 with no reverse lock-out on the T10?

Beautiful car but that interior is horrible. Everything else looks good to me.

Too much...Ruined a 68 in my opinion.Nice paint though.

that is nice!! whats up with the shifter?

Its a "remote" shifter, just like the new mustangs, the old ones have a crappy shifter position. The remote kit puts the shifter closer to the driver as well as making the shifts shorter.

cloe but no cigar. most hurst's have the reverse lock out. you have to push down on the shifter and then put it into reverse. like the volkswagen trannys do now a days. i swapped in a toploader 4 speed from my orginal c4 auto. toploader = FTW

im with the consensus of the people in this thread. Amazing restoration however, things needed to be changed if i were to own this car are the following:

Steering wheel
wheels - size, height, and style
shifter - return it back to more of a stock set up
suspension- idk about you guys, but i think the dam thing is too low. Its a muscle car, not a lamborgini.
Color - not my first choice but its alright. I would have preferred an original color

Awesome looking color.

Beautiful exterior but the inside doesn't do anything for the car IMO.
