I just bought a neat little 68 Camaro

[69rsz28]

Reline is 6000, 4 leaf spring and EE code on front spring. Rear leafs have a little 1/2 spring with 1 shackle added to the back half. Could this have been for wheel hop?

Leaf springs look original and right for a Z, EE code coils are correct for a Z, tach is correct and I think the radiator tag is also correct but my memory is not that good to remember what the radiator tag should be. The little springs attached to the rear spring leafs would not be for wheel hop, more likely to prevent the rear end of the car from. Very nice car.

Yes, the UH radiator code is correct for a 68Z, but it's also correct for a 327 (LF7 with AC).

Thanks for the input Bill. It looks to me like the gas tank has never been removed, did they put build sheets on any Camaros above the tank or in the back seat? Also there is a punch card that the previous owner found under the carpet and sound deadener. It was folded and the part that was up was painted lemans blue. The only info that is legible is the cowl tag info 12437 NOR 082308 712 UU . The part that is under the paint is not legible. It also shows the Fisher carriage and says 1968 BODY (then the blue paint starts to cover the rest.)

Thats a real 68 Z if i ever saw one. Heck, its got original paint...Aside from a brand new flowmaster welded in, even the exhaust looks like it may be original. I know the documentation freaks won't believe anything without a protectoplate, buildsheet, etc... but nothing I see shows any chance of it being anything else besides a 68 Z. Neat car!

[69rsz28]

Yes, the radiator is 3 core although the previous owner had it recored. He said he saved the old one but I don't remember loading one up. I'll have to ask him it send it. He also had to run new brake lines.

I have never found a buildsheet in a 68 Camaro, so I don't know where to tell you to look. My guess is it is not there but I would certainly look in both the places you mentioned. I agree with Camarojoe that the tailpipes look original. Car has some nice options, with the exterior style trim and the extra interior trim on the the standard interior. Another Z clue are the rear bumper guards. Again, nice find, looks like a nice clean car.
