Yes, the radiator is 3 core although the previous owner had it recored. He said he saved the old one but I don't remember loading one up. I'll have to ask him it send it. He also had to run new brake lines.

Also there is a punch card that the previous owner found under the carpet and sound deadener. It was folded and the part that was up was painted lemans blue. The only info that is legible is the cowl tag info 12437 NOR 082308 712 UU . The part that is under the paint is not legible. It also shows the Fisher carriage and says 1968 BODY (then the blue paint starts to cover the rest.)

I have never found a buildsheet in a 68 Camaro, so I don't know where to tell you to look. My guess is it is not there but I would certainly look in both the places you mentioned. I agree with Camarojoe that the tailpipes look original. Car has some nice options, with the exterior style trim and the extra interior trim on the the standard interior. Another Z clue are the rear bumper guards. Again, nice find, looks like a nice clean car.

Geez, what a neat find. I agree with Joe, that's a Z if I ever saw one. Congratulations. That's a nice score. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the imput and the compliments. There was no buildsheet under the seat, may be a few days before I can get to the gas tank. Does Jerry MacNeish have a web site? I can't find one.

I watched the car on E-bay myself. Looks like an excellent starting point for a resto. What are you going to do with it???

Don't hold your breath on finding the build sheet - very few exist and are as rare as hen's teeth for 68s.

The good news is that the original tire pressure sticker on the glove box door is a dead give away. Its probibly the best indicator of a real 68 Z28. The other pictures point in the same direction.

Icing on the cake would be having the VIN on the MO block match the body indicating the original motor. I would suggest using that block to build a vintage, althought non-matching high RPM 302.

In any event, enjoy the car! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The MO block is a 3914678 casting with a cast date of K137 (Nov. 13, 1967)( car build date is 01D Jan 4th week) and does not appear to have been decked, however the vin on the block does not match the car.

The datecode will work perfectly for your Z's build date. Except for the Vin# not matching, I would definately rebuild this MO engine you got with the car.

Re: I just bought a neat little 68 Camaro
 

How far off is the CON VIN# stamped on the block,from the cars VIN tag?
