    68 is a great year for running changes: My car also has an aluminum case engine and early style deck lid/grill both of these were changed by Porsche later in the 68 production run along with the change to basket weave.
    Excuse the black mats (carpet is red underneath) and the speakers.
    They mixed it in this car....

    I noticed your window winders are also from '67 and earlier. I wonder what other '67 traits were carried over to early '68 cars. For now we have the "roller" type headrests and the window cranks.
