Hi Mark.

The car is wearing the same paint from when it was purchased new. But, as mentioned earlier, there is evidence of repair by the original dealer like the stripe on the passenger side front fender.

The build date on the trim tag is 01E but the sale date is 9/21/67 so something happened to prevent the car from selling for 9 months. Pat (the original owner little old lady) told me she saw the car in the front window of the dealership as she went by every day and couldn't resist buying it. By late September, the 1968 models would have been out for several weeks so I think the dealer made an effort to repair and promote the car to get it sold. Pat didn't know if it was a 67 or 68, she just liked the sporty black car in the window.
