Shannon-
Parts availability is still pretty good, if not expensive for some of the weird parts. Unfortunately '68 has some unique-to-the-year interior parts, so make sure not to toss any of 'em when you restore the inside- keep them and recover them. Otherwise you will hemorrhage $$$. Fenders are the major hard-to-replace items for the early cars. After 74 fenders are pretty easy to come by.

MS makes a good point- are you aware of the suspension differences? Up through '68 are the so-called short wheelbase cars, then came the revised suspension in '69. If you want to build a race car or do serious body mods (like flaring the rear end) it's going to give a serious headache. I knew someone working on flaring a '68 and they just said "screw it" and tossed the car (was a MAJOR bucket anyway).

If this car really has 33k, and has really been stored that long, then it may just have rusty fenders and some other bits and pieces needing work. I'd be interested to see some pics.
