I am looking at a 68 coupe 6 cyl yet to go on the market and wonder what good interchanges could be made with a 68 fb.If someone knows what body parts do exchange would you please clue me in? If don't list is shorter that will do.I did a search here and did not find any info.

dude it would be cheaper to find a low cost 68 fastback with v8 and upgrade it yourself. No sense in changing the entire car and then later on have to sell it for a lot less than what you put into it because it wouldnt match the VIN#

This is the post Elanor period.... you'd have better luck finding a white unicorn.

If you want to make something different, really kick butt, and veeeerryyyy cool, you might consider a single turbo t3/4 hybrid on an I6 with a 4spd auto behind it. There are many parts for such a item available "down under", and there are several shops that specialise in I6 speed parts here in the US that would be able to help... just a thought.

I dont know about you guys, but here in California I found about 5 68 fastback coupes for sale (3-8,000) between 2003 and 2005.
