I looked at the '68 on the B-J web site before the auction. I wasn't 
very impressed with it. I could see several things that weren't 
"right"...

BUT... was this car represented as being original? Completely stock? 
Totally and correctly restored?

There are lots of cars sold on B-J that are modified. This '68 surely 
was one of them. When I read the copy for it, I don't remember it being 
represented as anything it wasn't.
