Satellite. He'd better take a good look at the tags & rivets...

Satellite trim. The GTX was never offered with that trim unless some
Dealer installed for the first owner

Yep Satellite trim, had this Satellite for a while with that top trim and side trim also.....was a nice solid southwest (El Paso) no rust but a ding or two wink Had a great looking two tone gold and white interior with A/C up Hopefully your friend's car has an original fender tag or broadcast sheet?

thanks guys. i said satellite as well and he said he checked it for numbers. s/o number in 68 not the full vin. on the body, correct? says fender s/o tag matches rad support and trunk stamp. he is new to mopars and has deep pockets so..............................how do they say? Caveat emptor ill look it over when he gets home.

Easiest check is the SO # on the rad support vs the fender tag, but if the upper yoke's been changed, that throws that off.
Obviously look at the dash tag rivets, or see if the dash was swapped, see what the engine (if any - bellhousing flange, top front pad, block side pad)) & trans #s are.
I can't imagine the factory built a '68 GTX with Satellite trim, or managed to install every GTX feature into a Satellite shell.
