Viktor - the 1968 to 1971 W108 firewall swap is one of the more involved cross-year modifications and is correctly done by you per the photos in the West Sydney Restorations Builds Facebook page. The 1968 shell with the 1971 drivetrain is a legitimate engineering combination that retains both VIN stamps' legality. Approximate market for a similar build done by a workshop charging proper rates: $14,000-$18,000. Your $8,500 is the labour-cost asking price - the car itself has $10,000+ of built-in equity. Strong buy for someone wanting a W108 driver.
