Watch out for VIN restamping!

Jed, do you really think that VIN restamping is a prevelant problem? It would seem that with the 68's lagging in value the focus of anyones efforts to go to the trouble would be with the 70 SS models. I know there are some trim features to look for that I will verify but I think a VIN modification is a more complicated process though I may be wrong. Who knows, maybe there is a build sheet somewhere in the car. is it worthwhile to carfax any of these for title histories or are they lost out there due to age?
So, if it checks out, considering the repaint and aged drivetrain, what would you consider reasonable for a car like this.

Does the car come with any paperwork? POP, original bill of sale, that sort of thing?

A 68 will show SS 396 in the VIN.

Scott, seems like a fair price if the car is what the seller says it is. The SS Chevelles for 1968 will start with a 138 sequence in the vin.

My friend has one, true SS, numbers matching 396/325 hp, all original sheetmetal, bucket seat, turbo 400 car. Has had engine rebuilt and a color change/repaint. Car is very, very nice. He has been offered 45 thousand for it and turned it down..

If it has the original roll tach in the instrument cluster, that is a very cool option and somewhat rare.. My friend would love to find one of those for his car...
