I think they had some kind of silicone coating ? I had a '74 for a short time. Not a bad car otherwise. A kid at school had one of the first V8 vega's. It think it was a Super Chevy project.

I call this one the Rustang for a reason, it's a few years down the road yet before it gets any attention.

I'm confused... This already looks restored to me. Also what do you mean by factory console?

Nope, not restored, just cut polished. It has some rust spots poking through, and the interior needs some help. Pretty good shape overall, though.
The Marti Report says there were 317,000 made in 1968, and only 85 of them came with a Canadian Spring Promotion kit, and a factory console.
The vast majority of 68's you see today with consoles are earlier or later consoles that were cut to fit.

ok here's my other toy, got it in 1999. The original Stag V8 had blown head gaskets and two bent valves. It had sat for 15 years. I got it running by summer of 2000. Did all the work myself with the shop manual as my guide. Took it down to bare metal in 2005 and had it painted the original green. I don't use it much anymore never seems to be enough time. Kind of want to sell it.

Dave, that is an impressive garage and collection. Who needs a house when you have a garage like that?
