1968 SS Camaro Project (Looking for Info)

That's a really cool find. Do you have a clear image of the license plate frame? It could be the original dealer it was purchased from if it didn't come from a used car lot.

I can honestly say that the fuzzy image you have posted looks like it has a DANA Chevrolet license plate from on it. In fact I'd say I'm about 98% sure that's a DANA license plate frame. If that's true, you've got yourself a real gem. Of course without any of the original DANA paperwork or sales information, you're kind of out of luck making it really amount to any collector value. DANA sold new and used big block Camaros...along with other high performance Chevrolets. Too bad you don't know if it was ever a 427 conversion.

Here's a clear one:

Looks like a Dana plate frame to me, too!

Thanks for the info. I tried cleaning up the picture but it is a scan of a photo. I am going to contact the guy I bought the car from and see if he will send me the picture. Being that I live in Oregon and am just learning of the Dana history is there any chance of finding documentation on cars they sold?

Thanks again for your help.

What kind of condition is the car in now?

BTW Dana it seems that Dana ordered quite a few Special Order Paint Cars... KevinS has Milt's old Dana special order orange 68 RS/SS with a 427 Tripower in it...

I had a 68 Z that was orange and believe it came from Dana as well.
