Hi all,

The old adage "If it seems too good to be true...." comes to mind.

This car is a 68 2000. Nothing wrong with that, but it is NOT a 67.5 2000. 
The 67.5 2000 was a low windhshield car. The only 2 liter roadster that was 
built this way.

If this car is a 68, it will have a VIN over 1000. It looks like a decent 68 
to me, but it is not a 67.5 2000.
