68 Nova SS

[WILMASBOYL78]

Nova SS VIN will start with 11427....but that won't designate SS..only V8 2dr.....Super Sport was an option with an RPO code like other options...base engine for SS in 1968 was the 350/295hp small block...available with powerglide auto or 3/4 speed std....BB came in later in the model year in limited qty....SS hood louver tabs are a good clue, SS badging, blacked out grill, rear panel, multi-leafs, 12 bolt, dual exhaust, console with gauges are also strong clues..but are not a sure thing. Original engine with VIN or paperwork are the key...post some pics, check the back seat for paperwork, talk to previous owners...

Here are some pics he sent to me. Hope they come through. He said someone changed out the front buckets and the build sheet was gone. I always thought it could be under the back seat somewhere or even between the trunk floor and gas tank. Am I wrong?

Build sheet won't be on top of the tank...check both top and bottom of the back seat and look carefully in the padding....my 68 had it's build sheet hidden by a prior seat recovering job....exterior shots seem to show all the usual SS badging...check those front discs..are they 4 piston calipers..?? look for original exhaust hanger on drivers side rear for the factory dual exhaust...hanger comes down from floor...tailpipe has bracket on frame rail...rare to see dual exhaust on a non-SS car of that vintage...what is the redline on the tach..??? more photos of interior...Nova SS emblem on dash pad..???
