Yes.
That car checks my boxes.
I would want to see before pictures of the body prior to dipping.
One thing about that. Understanding where rust can hide in these cars, what was done post dipping to stop any further corrosion.
I always wonder about the cowl.
Anyone want to guess if that's the correct horn?

The '68 horn was plain color i believe starting in '69 the horn was purple so this one is correct. Are the hood pins factory??

Saw this in the comments section:

by: Salmar69
" I personally inspected every inch of that car in around 2004 0r 2005 for the previous owner, who is a stickler for real original cars. The car is absolutely the real deal numbers matching engine, tranny, body and much more. the car is optioned to max and is the most amazing sleeper type vehicle I have seen in 50 years. The car was owned by Jack Sharkey when I inspected it. I am not anyone known but I am known by only a few. The car immediately went into my hobby garage and then to Michael’s Auto Restorations in Winter Haven, Florida, who is a dear friend of mine. Michael is also one not to brag and stays loyal to a few great people. As far as Michael’s another car he painted was on TV with Craig Jackson on one of his 35 ANNI show’s Car Search (circa 2006), he described that car as the best paint, fit and finish he recalls ever seeing on his stage for 35 years prior, for that type of Muscle car. To get to my point the pictures do the car no justice and the color is possibly the best color to have for this heavy duty optioned ROAD RUNNER.
To any bidders who love this car no disappointments expected, I always suggest to view in person, this car may be an exception."

I know what a Spartan is.
But Sparton is a portmanteau of Sparks and Withington , which is just funny.
It's supposed to have a date code.
But the way things work, I would not bet against that being missing from an ordinal Spurtin horn.
Wonder who put that on the horns anyway.
Some guy at Chrysler with a stamp?
The pictures in the book appear to be pre "restoration".
This may have been one of those cars it was best not to "restore".
My car was a beaten up, low option 383 car.
Even though I have documentation on what it is , I really didn't hurt the car any with my butchery.
Someone might have been thinking money from a celeb buyer with a big wallet.

AZ Desert,
Stamped at the vendors plant. Also not to nitpick LOL, but the bolt holding the horn is wrong. Should be 5/16-18 hex head sems bolt with paint cutter teeth under the parameter of the washer in a phosphate (brownish green) finish grade 5. Washer looks to be on the small side also.
