Default identifying a 68 l78 camaro?

Hey guys, i just bought an original paint, 1968 camaro ss 396/375hp 18,000k miles. m22, with factory 4.88 gears. The original motor was blown up in the day and switched out the block with a 69. How can i identify this car is a real l78 car? It still has the original window sticker (i believe) stuck to the dr side glass. It looks super vintage, options including a 375hp engine and 4.88 ratio rear end. If anyone can help identifying this car, let me know. THANKS!!!!

Matt

rear end and side shot, ss emblem is missing, and the hood is day 2, suppose to have ss hood. If you notice on the window sticker "floyd foren" dealership, and the decal still on the rear bumper

The w/s is real. The non-typed VIN indicates it was re-printed at Norwood according to a friend who was a dealer. The original either had an error or the car had been cancelled and assigned to another dealer.

No one noticed "P28AB SPEC 15 IN WHEEL&TIRE?" Never heard of that option.

I don't see the P28 15" wheel option on any option lists. Its a good research subject. Anyone hear of this?

It's a Vietnam car, the guy ordered it and went into army. The car took 6 months to order and it was used to street race. It had a hone o drive in it before I got it

Is the tire size and inflation sticker still on the inside of the glovebox door? if it is, what does it say and can you show a photo? this could be monumental!
