True, but not one with any concern to originality...... 
Boot emblem in the wrong location 
Sill emblems (there were none originally) 
WTF is that under the front bumper 
Wrong mirrors 
Front turn lenses of a later car 
Steering wheel cover? Geez, restore the wheel, or buy one that is
restorable 
Wrong Dizzy 
Wrong oil pressure line 
Wrong line from block to oil filter 
Wrong 710 cap 
Wrong air filters 
They eliminated that style PCV valve in early 68 
Wrong T Stat cover (69 had the fitment for the smog pump) 
Wrong blower motor switch 
Wrong seats 
The aftermarket shift knob is a common change, though I use the 
orignal, as the size of my hand around the aftermarket knob has me 
punching the dash when I go to third 
The chrome wires look nice, but I don't believe that they, or the 3 
eared spinners were factory 
The car was rebuilt, but with all those errors, I would hesitate to 
use the term "restored".
