Is anyone familiar with this car? I have been looking for a 68 SS427. Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks

Jeff, This car appears to be a hodge-podge of parts put together. It's a mess under the hood as far as being anything close to being correct. Get the engine and trans numbers for sure. See if it has a 12 bolt in it. The seats are all custom, not correct. Has an L72 dash in it. Not an L72 car with air and automatic as others have stated. There is a grocery list of incorrect items on this one. Stay away, find a better car. It pales in comparison to your current ride, but I might be prejudiced.

The upholstery on the seats looks incorrect. The seat pattern looks more like 1969 Impala seats.

Looks like a pretty fresh restoration with a few anomalies. Was originally Grecian Green with Black vinyl top, now it looks like cordovan maroon. The tach has the 6000 rpm redline for the L-72 engine but with the cast iron intake, it's likely an L-36 or some other oval port BBC. They don't say anything about the engine so there is alot of info. still needed there. Same with the underside and floors. Lower grille does not have the verticals blacked out. From what I've seen lately, the price is lower than most in this catagory.

AC and being an auto tranny also disqualifies it from being an L72. For me its all about condition. Get a close look at it.

Wrong color. Knock off $10,000.00 and no paperwork or POP. It could be a Clone. Unless You like the color which is nice. The seat covers are very wrinkled. The paint is very nice in pictures. The underhood should be painted black. It is definitely not an L72 because of the AC and the air cleaner. I do not see the fuel filter and double fuel line. The emission parts are missing, no heat tube and wrong valve cover breather. It needs to be seen in person. NICK L72
