    Did 68's have the blue GM label on the door? Mine doesn't

      It's been known for quite a while. I believe it's gone through at least one auction (Kissimmee 2016) and a few dealers.

        In addition to that, door mirror location and painted underhood panel (infront of wipers) in relation to a 12271 VIN.

            350 HP valve covers, steel fan shroud. He must have wanted these instead of the painted covers and a fiberglass shroud.

              What's wrong with the steel fan shroud, it was used on early SB cars? It sealed well against the radiator for better cooling. The entire master cylinder is not Corvette unit at all as the casting ends would both be rounded. How does the alternator work without being plugged in?

                The belt tensioning brace on the alternator is on wrong.
