freakin Sweet i wanted a corvette bronze 68 !!
it is hugger orange at present but needs new paint so it will be bronze!!!!
it has the numbers matching 327 and 4 speed, it was a factory air car but everything but the ac vent in the dash is gone!!
on the paint code its 00 with no dash inbetween dose that mean its not corvette bronze?

Sounds like a nice find:) No, it's all Corvette Bronze (upper & lower).

Out of curiousity, what's the engine suffix....stamped numbers next to the partial vin on block? Maybe there's another L30 "sleeper" in the crowd:cool:

Engine suffix might be MO.
Trans ID:
All cast iron = Saginaw
All alum = Muncie

Probably a 10-bolt open diff, 3.08:1, with mono-leaf springs.

well i will get the suffix code monday as i left the car at my friends house 2 hrs of the five hr ride from my house as it was down pooring and the roads were terrible and about 40 degrees out!!
its an all aluminum muncie and a 10 bolt posi with mono leaf.
i drove the car 2-3 hrs to my friends house and it purs like a kitten.

engine suffix is MA

MA is a suffix for a 68 327 210hp with manual shift. If the trans is original it should be a cast iron saginaw.
