Back in hi-school, my neighbor and friend had a 68 GTX 383 4-speed. It was almost as quick as my 70 Swinger340 4-speed. But IMO his was waaay better looking; it was a dark-chocolate brown to my PantherPink or whatever Dodge called it.
But one thing I'll give that 383; when he banged it into second or even third, POW!! that thing hit hard. Mine was still spinning those polyglass GTs, and the 3-4 was marshmallowy soft at around 85mph. 340s were fun but you had to keep 'em up on the cam.
