Default 67 vs 68 Fastback

Always loved mustangs. Altought I consider them to be all beautiful machines, Im a big fan of the fastback series, particularly the 67 and 68 models. Recently me and my brother decided to import one from the States (we are from Spain and these cars are pretty rare around here). We are still deciding on which year model we should choose from,do any of you guys knowof awebsite where I can find the main differences between the 2 models (exterior, interior, engine, new features etc)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would be great to have an all american classic to cruise around european roads.
Thanks

They are pretty much the same car. In 68 they stopped the 289 and put in the 302. 67 has the scoops like the 67 coupes and the 68s have that little chrome piece.

The main differences are added safety features in '68, including side marker reflectors, padded bar steering wheel, plastic window crank *****, altered interior door handles, and collapsible steering column (introduced mid-67). Othermodifications includeslightly altered lower control arm and strut rods, lack of quarter panel louvres, and a simpler (and cheaper) grille ornament. 68's also haddifferent engine options, including the 428CJ halfway through the model year

The bad news is that 68's have a big, ugly *** reflector Ford scrounged from the parts bin on the rear quarters. The good news is that there is a big reflector on the side of the car.

I prefer the 67 but you can't go wrong with a 68.

My 68 did not. I don't know if they offered it as an option.
