The 68 I purchased new cracked the header inside of the 12/12 warranty period 
and
the dealer replaced it.  They also replaced the left side of the seat in less 
than 2
weeks (learn to swing butt in and drop rather than slide) and tranny syncros in 
the
first 5-6 weeks.  I don't think I have had that much trouble with a new car 
since.
