1968 Chevelle 369 ss

[ss Cayman]

Hi Guy's,
I am new to the muscle car thing so please bare with me.
I had the option to buy a 1968 Chevy Chevelle 369 ss a couple of weeks ago. Every thing I can find on this car is saying that it is worth having. (Vin#138378Z168874) I have all the recipts for the vehicle including original purchace recipt and protect-o-plate. the car is matador red and is solid apart from some very minor rust issues and totaly orignal, having only had two owners from new. The main thing that puzzles me is that it has a three speed manual that is showing origonal but I can't find any info on the net that mentions it.
P.S. The car was $2795.00 plus 83.80 sales tax,5.00 title and transfer and 11.30 for a total of 2895.10 out the door.
Regards
Ronnie
