The thing I like about it is the picture of the rear right spring area. If you look at above and to the left of the spot welds holding the valance and the innter panel together you will see #s. Stamped from the inside out those #s are the id #s that are on the build sheet for that car. Nobody mentions putting the rear spoiler on it.

I love that color. My dad had a 68Z the same color. I've been trying to locate it for some time but keep coming up empty. Last known location was in Richmond, and the car was black.

I never noticed that stamping before so I went out and looked at my car and sure enough there it is. They must relate to the sheetmetal build week like the markings in the corners of the quarters and in the deck lid. Wow, learn something every day.

Rick, If you have the build sheet to your car that# will be the same as the ID# on that sheet.

I have only seen build sheets in LA cars.

Kim,
No build sheet, Norwood car.

The sheetmetal on my car has a lot of factory stampings. Each quarter is stamped in the corners, deck lid is stamped, fenders have stampings in them. All my springs have original tags, and like the car mentioned here I still have the tape under one subframe bushing that held it in place.

The problem I see with this 68 SS is that I highly doubt it will be allowed to be judged in any unrestored class. Some of the markings and other parts look way to good to be unrestored.
One other thing that I see that is missing from this beauty is some sort of ducumentation. There is no mentoned or pictures of any paperwork. You would think with that low miles and the history of this car there would be some paper work like window sticker, protect-o-plate, anything. That would really sell this car.

But I got to say it is one beautiful car and the new owner should be very happy with it.

Nice paint and interior, but not a survivor.
The engine (and components) and trans and replaced rear were restored. The subframe was restored. Steering parts (with a repainted steering box) look original, other than that the undercarriage is restored.

So you're saying the body # is stamped on that rearend seam? Do you have another pic of one? Never heard of that before. Body # is 115464, which doesn't appear to match what's stamped here (?).

Here is a shot of my tail panel and although I can not make it out that clearly, it doesn't seem to be the same as my body number. I still think it is a sheetmetal date code just like the quarters and fenders.

Kurt the # I am talking about is on the broadcast I think it is the 2nd item listed after the production date it's under id # on the sheet.Kim
