REMARKS AND/OR STORY : We have owned the car for 18 years. It has power disc brakes, electric windows and power steering. Also, hardly anyone knows this but it is said that when this car was ordered, new, it was requested to the dealer that it come with the Red Ram engine. Of course, they couldn’t put a ‘58 Red Ram Hemi in it. The factory ignored this and installed the 318, instead. I believe, this was the only ‘68 ordered with the Red Ram engine.
