OK.......just got out from under the car.......The rearend is stamped "BL 0524G1" .......I couldn't get a good pic of it since the exhaust runs right in front of it......So, BL means 3.07 gears in a 12 Bolt and Non posi traction....."05" means it was built in May......."24" means it was built on the 24th day of May......and "G1" means it was built at Detroit Gear and Axle on the 1st shift.......

The transmission is stamped P8 then "H" and then it looks like "95"......but the "5" is very difficult to make out......"P8" means 4-speed Muncie and it's a '68 model.......the "H" means it was built in June.......and I'm not sure on the "95".......It appears I'm missing a digit.......I'll go back out and try to read it again.....

and the driver's side trunk torsion bar is larger than the passenger side bar....... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

That does look AWESOME!!! but I found out that this car was originally gold instead of green......I'd seen color under the door panels but it was barely dusted on and in my dimly lit shop it looked green to me......

It that an original SS?? This car has "SS" on the front fenders under "Camaro".......is that correct??

That is the correct 68 G code color. It's called Ash Gold. It is a very light sensitive color that flips between a olive green to a very light gold depending on the daylight.Her is a different angle and light.

My car is the base model with the stripe added as a RPO.
