The 68 I purchased new cracked the header inside of the 12/12 warranty period
and
the dealer replaced it. They also replaced the left side of the seat in less
than 2
weeks (learn to swing butt in and drop rather than slide) and tranny syncros in
the
first 5-6 weeks. I don't think I have had that much trouble with a new car
since.
