Hey Guys,

I just bought a 68 camaro title only with no protecto plate. The VIN decodes to a V8 car.

The trim tag reads
Deluxe Houndstooth Black Interior
Corvette Bronze Paint
Black VInyl top

Options still on the car:
Power Steering
Power Brakes
A/C
Multileaf rear
Console with gauges (Factory wiring under the dash has 9 pins out of 10 used)

The car does not have the origional engine, ss hood, 12-bolt or console.

It does have the console mounting brackets from the factory.

Car has standard grill in it now.


Can you tell by these options if it would have been an RS, SS, or RS/SS camaro?

If the fenders were factory, would they have extra brackets for RS lights?

I am going to count the hood coil springs as I was told the factory used more for the SS hood.

Hood springs would have 28 coils. Headlamp bucket brackets on RS fenders would be 3 inches sunk into fender verses 1 inch for standard buckets.

Headlamp switch would have a vacuum 'switch' for vacuum lines for RS option.
RS windshield washer bottle would be bolted to drvr fenderwell instead of being bolted to radiator support above volt regulator.
RS option would have reverse lights under rear bumper in rear panel and both lenses in taillight housings would be red verses red/wht for standard.

RS option is an appearance package as SS option would be drivetrain package.
