OOPS! - I meant to send to list...

By what I see, it's gotta be a '68 with a lot of borrowed bits from a '69.  (PO 
had two of these cars, one was junk so he pulled everything salvageable off of 
it and it was in the car when I took possession or already put on the car.)  
This is getting kind of fun!  I like detective work!

Thanks everyone, now I can see if I can't order a harness...
