Hey, guys, I'm new here, and I have a question. Awhile back, I talked to a guy that swore up and down that he had an honest-to-God 68 SS427 Chevelle. I didn't want to call B.S. right away, because knowing my luck, it'd turn out to be some kind of weird COPO that no one had heard of before, and I'd end up looking like an idiot. Plus I didn't want to insult the guy because my curiosity was piqued. So I made arrangements to see the car, and drove out to his farm the next weekend. I got there, he led me out behind the barn, and there in the weeds(good place for the only SS427 Chevelle ever made
) was an SS396 Chevelle. OK, I think, it was BS, but it could still be a decent score, so I decide to look it over. Well, long story short, it has CE coded 4-bolt main 427, as well as cracked, faded Motion Performance stickers on both quarter windows, and on the inner fenderwell. He wants eight grand for the car, and it has rust and hasn't run in years. Definitely worth it, IF it's a true Motion car. Not worth it if it's "only" an SS396. Cool car either way, but if it's not a Motion car, the amout of work it needs doesn't justify the asking price. He claims to have other people looking at it, but I'm not cutting a check that big without knowing what I'm dealing with. How do I determine what this car is? He has NO paperwork, the title has been lost for years. What do I do here? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
