Hey guys,
I just picked up what I believe to be a 68 SS396 4 Speed vert.
I know it is hard to verify this on a 68.
It is just a roller and I have no drivetrain.
It has a tictoc tach and SS emblems. Multileafs.
Power drum brakes.
Car was originaly Maroon and the tail light panel is painted black under the blue repaint.

I will post pics tonight.

Just wondering what tell tale signs to look for to verify the car.
Either way it will be a cool ride.:thumbsup:

Thanks,
Brian

OE BBC will have heater core nipples above the frame, center of heater box, rather than next to bellhousing opening. Unless car has A/C, then heater hoses are to the pass side of A/C evap core.
Pass side BBC engine mount is lower in height compared to drvr side mount.
Trans crossmember will have bolt slots towards pass side.
May have P/S, always a plus with BBC.
Radiator support may have rubber stripping across the top to aid in reduction of recirculating hot air, seals against hood.

Wow, what a diamond in the rough. I've seen alot worse, definitely will be a project but the end result with be money in the bank! Good luck with it!

Brian, checkout the tachometer readings in this link.............looks to be a Big Block car you have there 5.5-7 RPM

Congratulations, looks like you got a real SS396. The tach says it is either a 325 or 350 hp, not 375 hp.(5500 red line). Black tail sail says it was a BB car too. Lots of work ahead, but it will be great when you get it all back together. Good luck.:hurray:

Spoke to the owner when it was on Ebay earlier this year. Nice find, wish I would have driven the 30 minutes to look at it before it sold!

and to think someone let it get in this condition to begin with...I'm sure she's happy with an owner that gives a shoot that reminds me I've got to pull mine back into the garage...

Thanks guys ,
I can't wait to get started on her.
I am building this one for my girl friend to drive.

When I bought it I didn't even have clue what it was I just knew it was a vert. Just saw some bad pics and took a chance. :D

Of course, you're gonna make an album on her? Maybe a name?
Quite the project in front of you, I wish you well.

Keep us informed with pics once in a while.
Budget made?

Damn ,
I looked in your for sale link on your web page for it . LOL good luck
