Curious about my purchase
Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forums.
I had to wait 28 years to get my classic, and when I did, I had to get the wife's okay as well...reluctantly.
I'm sure you will get most if not all of your questions answered here on your new purchase.

I wasn't able to see the pics. BA, How did you see the pics?
Newbie68, Have you seen this:

The one thing I see that is odd in the MM article is the car appears to have chromed rims which I believe were not available 'til 69. I believe they should be argent painted rims with stainless trim rings. I like the '69 rims better.

The car has been repainted. and has had the right fender replaced. Marti Auto called me and now I have to take the left fender off to try and locate the vin.. left door replaced also, as due to the AF it is possibly a ,Mexican Built car. This is where the family tree gets harder to track. As for the rims, I found several articles that said these were the wheels offered on the Sprint Package.
Once I figure this out I can better decide which way to go. Either way I am loving it. Figure I will drive it for a week or two and then start surgery.

probably the only way to find out if it's a sprint is to see if the fog lights/wiring are original. the gas cap was changed and the stripes, if any, were of course removed for the paint (and prob the wheel mouldings). either way, it looks like a good buy
