the steering wheel is different because it's adjustable, right?
The style they are, and maybe the placement of the armrest and door handle. Also the front fenders have a turn signal like light right under where the bumper mounts. There are also slight changes in the instrument panel.

Also no it is not because it is adjustable, the whole wheel is different.

67


68

Everything from your car will transfer over to the new car no problem. Few things may be a bit different but everything will fit. If you asking if you can just buy this shell and switch all of your stuff then you are good to go it will work.

Everything is interchangable just like the 65-66 Mustangs. Personally I like no side markers. It's a cleaner look.

I would if you have means to get it to mn for cheap because its a decent deal. Idk whats been going on in minnesota but people have been trying to get a killing for cars that just are not worth it. Theirs a few classics i still have yet to go look at but im looking at 2 a week and just not seeing anything worth it. Maybe once winter rolls around people will want to dump their projects.

yes, the grille at the bottom of the door is different. I had just forgotten cause the gone is 60 seconds Eleanore is a 67 and it has that grille and everyone who has done an Eleanore has duplicated that look so i assumed it was a dealer option or a GT/Shelby package thing. On a side note i got my 67 because of that movie but as time progressed i was just not attracted to that look anymore.

the only difference that i can notice in the instrument panel is that the bar between the speedometer and the tach is thinner in the 68. personally i really dislike that wood paneling that was offered in 68 and that 68 wheel is just not my thing. If i had a choice and if it was possible id want to put the 66 interior door panel on my 67. thats a much nicer design if you ask me

The shoulder belt was first offered as an option in 67. Became standard in 68. Front fender markers were required by law beginning in 68. The 68 door handles were in the same place as 67, but the shafts were shorter for the new safety laws.
