Default Re: 1968 Camaro with Alum Heads - Check this out

This looks like a cut up drag car with a Dana 60, some parts, and possibly no documentation. I would be very careful since a 68 is next to impossible to verify without a P-O-P or Window Sticker and / or Owner History. You can check the dates on the block, heads, trans, etc to get some idea if the parts are original. I don't believe I have seen a documented L89 for sale as these are most likely privately traded among serious collectors. There are however, quite a few clones on the market.

I ASKED THE SELLER WHAT HAPPEN TO THE ORIG MOTOR AND REAR END HERE IS WHAT HE SAID
My wife believes the original engine was stolen. I think my father -in- law may have sold the rear-end many years ago. Definitely before 1984. - Tim.

Why are you guys picking on this car. It may very well be real.He says he has the original window sticker! Maybe he just dont know how to sell the car. I will bet it is something special.

For sure...if it was a drag car it wouldn't be a surprise to see the 12 bolt gone either....someone should look at the car if they are unterested....

Don:

I am not trying to pick on the car. I simply noted the questions that I thought should be answered before laying down some serious cash. I also pointed out that a late car painted black would have - - for the paint code.

Don't think it is out of line to ask about documents. I realize it is easy to sit here and pick a car apart. I have said it before, I don't know that I would want my car to be under the collective microscope!!!!

I also stated that the car may be legit, one would just need to investigate further. If the car is the real deal, the seller won't mind further investigation.

Drag cars are not usually know for a being in all that good of shape. I mean the car may look rough but their doesn't appear to be major rust issues... for a car in the rust belt!
