I love this car!! I would really like to get a 68

[realzed]

Just saw this and I feel ill..
I had virtually an identical car - ordered new in on Dec11 '67 and delivered in early May of '68 due to a GM strike in I think it was early Feb of that Spring..
Mine had a turbo 400 and was Teal Blue metallic (slightly darker) with a rear antenna and bumper guards - but with the same interior, console and GM Bright Blue Strato Buckets that had headrests (likely mandatory here in Canada, I would imagine..) but otherwise virtually 'my car'!
Why 'ill' - well, we all know about 'that one' - the one everyone always regrets not hanging on to, don't we - and how it still feels many decades later?
What I would give to have it again!!
Beautiful car - I eventually put black ET mags on mine to match the rocker paint and raised it slightly and fitted some wider rubber - but Man!! this hurts to see such a beautiful memory staring right back at me here..
