Current project (69 912) will probably total $30-$40K (only the paint is being outsourced) so again I'm spending more than it's worth but I do this for love and have no intent to ever sell any of them.

Once you've secured your sale show us some pictures.

PS I prefer the 69+ lwb cars so, if i were you, I would be happy to have a 69 over a 68. Of course that should mean you have a 2.2 liter motor and not a 2.0. If it is really a 2.0 then you do not have the correct/original motor.
ok that's good to know, i will confirm this engine number and let you know, like i said the guy seems to know very little about ti, purchased it from a guy who his wife worked for because the owner moved out of state and his wife thought it was "cute" he was trying to make it a fun car for her but got side tracked and 12 yrs later decided to sell it, i suspect everything is original in it along with the engine, i will have to cnfirm the exact engine type and all that info asap, here are some snaps i took...
