Hey guys, I'm new to the scene and recently purchased a 1969 roadster from ebay. I was looking for a weekend project and found a good deal. I come from a long line of auto mechanics but never really got into the hobby myself. You will be seeing a lot of me and I apologize for the million of questions I have coming soon lol.

Welcome. Ask away, lots of experts here.

Looks like you've dove straight into the deep end with that project.

Welcome,
Using the serial number, its a 68, sold in 69.
There are lots of important differences between the two. The electrical system being different is one of the most important changes.

Looks like you will have fun bring her back.

Lots of "experts" on this site and we all mean well. A great group!
