735 int code.

H-H paint code

Hard to read rest. Someone painted trim tag white, then black over it.

Friend wants to sell me his 68 L88 with Aluminum heads, it's a Corvette tri power code, not Nova. Hes swapping out of his 68 Camaro for LS engine.

That would be perfect. Any chance trans or rear is original.

Just looked at the list and your car is a confirmed dick Harrell 427 car. That’s awesome!

The rear is a 12 bolt. The drums are painted red & white, which is what you did with Cragars, rusty drums don't look right. So being thr rear drums are painted red, I'd say this rear tends to look like it's been there for awhile. I have to look for the code on it.

Trans is TH400, was told it was a TH350.
Can see X member thru rotted floor. Seen this before with a L78 Camaro and not tie subframe. Body flexes, pops windshield at top, leaks water.
Floors front front seats mount back, floors are clean.

Car has powered drums brakes. A frame snubber is stock. (Corrected)
