My car is original paint with 15K original miles.......on the body anyway. It has a really nice original deluxe interior and vinyl top with the plastic rain gutters still attached. Full gauges and radio delete as well.

That POP looks very much like mine. Only about 8000 later in the same month and both cars with BW code rearends. Unfortunalely, someone changed mine. I have only found 2 BW code rearends during the years Ive worked on the car and both were later than mine. I bought the closest one I could but it is a couple months too late. I've been told that 4.56's had to be ordered but Im sure that my car was not ordered for anyone and just showed up at the dealer as BW equipped.

Regarding the wheel color - the pictures on Dave's website that the original owner took when he brought the car home from the dealership in 1968 clearly show the wheels on this car being body color. Now, we all know how GM worked in the 60's, so I can't speak for other cars but this red car had red wheels (and still does ).

The incredible photos the original owner took are a great reference for any 68 L78 owner - or even first gen Camaro owners in general. Who would have thought to pull the air cleaner and take detail shots? I've bought a few new cars in my day and I never did that!

Colin:
Yes, those original owner-brought-it-home photos are the icing on the cake. Talk about a fantastic reference!!
If you study one of the carb shots well, you can just make out the date on the air horn. Same carb still there........
And what kind of nut removes the smog and manifolds in '68 and KEEPS them?? Smart nut.
