    Polo Red/Black 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe "Walter"
    Black/Red 1967 Alfa GTJr. Coupe "Nero"
    Italian Red 1994 Ducati 900SS/SP looks fast standing still
    Italian Red 1957 Gilera 150 Sport

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    Why 68.5?

    My 68S, produced in november 67, has the same lid.

    I think it's correct after september 67.

    The lid is made with steel.

    This is the lid that came with a 3 bar grill -note the cutoff mounting tabs. Didn't early 68's, wheich used the early grill, also use the early decklid?

    You may be correct as I do not know the change over date but what I do know is my 68S with a build date of 10/31/67 has the earlier split grill lid.

    Fantastic Mikael!!

    Now my first 68S ( VIN 11800004) has of course the split grill lid

    My second 68S ( production date 13/11/1967 as you can read inside the door's panels) has the 68-69 lid.
