Is it worth the price?

Interesting truck and discussion.

As far as the paint, digital photos make even old paint look better that it really is. We may not be seeing all the little dings and such that are there. The sags seen in the door jamb could easily be from the factory. One would have to exam it closely in person to determine if it's had a repaint or not. My truck has many factory flaws in the original paint.

The engine compartment looks nearly 100 percent correct to my eye. My 327 alt bracket and a few other 68 alt brackets I've seen are orange rather than the usual flat black. The plug wire lumis', air cleaner, heat riser and lifting rings are correct for a 68 327 auto. It also has the factory markings on the firewall. My engine compartment looks nearly identical except my 327 has a smog pump which is correct for a 68 with a manual transmission.

As far as the surface rust underneath is concerned, it looks about like mine underneath. There was nothing but rudimentary paint under there to begin with so it aint going to be perfect.

It could have had some touch-up paint done at one time but IMO that could be a very low mileage truck.

Worth $12K? I think that's a little high for a truck that has so few options. I could see $8-$10K if you really want it and the paint is original.
