This beauty belongs to Mike Sheppard from Maryland (TC member '68rs327conv'). This car is also a Norwood product and was built about 8000 cars after mine. It's an original Y2 Rally Sport with a 327/210 and a Powerglide transmission. The car is a very highly optioned model, with a power top, air conditioning, tinted glass and more. Mike was lucky enough to find the build sheet, which is very rare for a Norwood built car.

Although not visible in these pictures, the build sheet shows that the car came from the factory with rear bumperettes. It was believed that this option was discontinued for 1968, but apparently it wasn't, or perhaps it was an early model option.

Plans call for painting the rockers the correct semi-gloss black.

The car originally came with rear bumperettes, which was thought not to be an option for the 68's.

Except for the valve covers, the engine compartment is completely stock, with original power steering and brakes.

Other options include the console with clock, air conditioning, and custom deluxe seat belts.

Mike was lucky enough to find some of the original documentation, which is very rare on a Norwood built car.

The build sheet verifies the options. Here you can see the option codes for the tinted glass and console.

UPDATE: Mike has gotten nostalgic of late and is going for the original look. Recent changes include a full set of original hubcaps to replace the Rallye wheels. Nice!

The rear spoiler has been removed and the holes filled and painted.
