Any documented 1968 Chevy II Nova SS "327" cars?
Marlin,
Do you know of any documented '68 Chevy II Nova SS "327" cars that exist? Earlier this week, I located the second owner of my "assumed" 1968 "327" Nova SS. This person verified for me that the car was indeed a Super Sport with a "327" and was still number matching when he had owned it, but believes the car was factory equipped with the L30 (275-HP) 327 and not the L79 (325-HP) 327. Unfortunately, I'm still without a build sheet or any other original documentation at this time to help back up this claim. My car does however have a 12-bolt rearend, factory hanger brackets for a dual exhaust and "finned" front drum brakes. Although I'm aware that these features are favorable for an "SS", they still aren't reliable enough to prove the authenticity of the car. I don't know if this would be of any help to you, but I have attached a photo of the cowl tag from my car and the VIN reads 114278W291069. The 2nd owner believes that the 3rd owners are still in possession of the original motor and transmission, even though they had already denied having these components after I confronted them about it a year ago.
Please let me know your thoughts or if you know of any documented "SS 327" cars out there.
Thanks for your help.
