Standard interior, console guages and tic-toc tac.
It's a 1968, so there is no such thing as "numbers matching". The car is the proper color,
engine, tranny, and rear end numbers and build dates are proper, but there is no such
thing as a numbers matching Camaro in 1968, and if anyone tries to sell you one, run
It is "numbers proper" and that's as good as you can do in 1968. Basically you need to verify that
the engine, rear, and tranny were all built at the right locations and all built BEFORE the body.
My engine is a Tonawanda NY build and the running gear was built apprx 3-4 months before
the body. That is consistent with an original car, and this car is appraised by Kruse at
around $45,000.
Watch out when buying first gens, there are lots of slimy sellers out there.
Research, research.
Yes, the bolt is rusted. Yes, that is proper. No the heads are not painted, they are really aluminum.
Yes, the Fram air filter is wrong, but it works better. (I've heard it all can you tell?)
