    Should be a 3-bar grill, Jim.

    If a 3 bar grille is correct does the engine lid have a central bar?

    The central bar on the engine lid stopped in November 67. My 68 was built in feb and has no central bar and a 3-bar grill.
    This thread should help with the 68 changes.

    No it doesn't. It's another 68 one year only item. Is similar to the 69 - 73 lid but has specific mounting tabs for the 3 bar grill not the 5 bar one. Am sure a 69 - 73 could be backdated quite easily though.
