I respect the opinions of several of the members on this site and I need to come up with a fair offer for this car. I know several own these 340/383 cars. I have located a 68 Formula S 340 4 speed notch for sale. I own the automatic version and this 4 speed has me wanting to make a move on it. Here is the fender tag brake down.

THE GOOD: The body and paint are good with no issues that I could tell with just a walk around. The motor and trans numbers match with the VIN. The motor sounded good and has been rebuilt. new tti exhaust and gas tank.
THE NOT AS GOOD: There is not a broadcast sheet with the car. I believe the dash bezel and dash pad have been replaced from another car. The speedometer does not look correct for a 1968 since the numbers are vertical and not tilted. Disc brakes were added from a 73 Dart and a bracket was added to frame under the left front tire. The door strikers looked to have been repaired on both doors. The bright work/chrome are showing wear. The motor was painted orange instead of red. The radiator number shows for a non a/c car. This would be a driver quality car probably a #3 condition.
Here are some pics. Im thinking price somewhere in the teens but need some honest opinions on this one...THANKS
