Description of 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

Purchaser to receive:
One beautiful 1968 Camaro Convertible assembled in Los Angeles California December 13th, 1967. This car is Code R2 Matador Red and has numbers matching 396ci MX code 350hp engine with M21 close-ratio 4-speed Muncie transmission, and 12 bolt posi rear end. I have had the privilege to inspect and take part in restoring many classical Chevrolet muscle cars and one thing I will say is that each car has its own strengths that shine. A few of these attributes on this car would be that it has the nicest rocker panels and truck floor I have ever seen on a GM muscle car. I suspect this has to do with being a LA car.
Engine Block Stamped: T1113MX 18L318440
M-21 Muncie with #660 Case Stamped: P8S10 18L318440
GM # 3894860NF 12 Bolt BR Code Rear Axle Assembly Stamped: BR 1205G1
I own and operate a full engine machine shop and dyno facility. I just finished completely rebuilding the engine in May 2017 including torque plate honing of engine block, new moly rings, new rod, main, and cam bearings,etc. The M21 transmission was also taken down to bare case at the same time and rebuilt, so no worn out gears or syncros.
The #3916323engine block in this car is still standard bore with genuine GM pistons part #385624. The block was honed in Sunnen Automatic hone with torque plates and new Hastings plasma moly rings were installed. Crankshaft is also genuine GM with GM forged connecting rods. The heads GM #3917215 were refurbished on Sunnen VGS-20 with multi-angle valve job and valves and guides replaced as needed. The oil pump and pickup in engine are genuine GM # 3906829 / 3904828.
The high rise intake #3883948 and carburetor #7028217 EG are both genuine GM. The carburetor was taken down to bare center section and dully rebuilt, including sealing fuel wells that tend to leak. The carburetor is 750cfm. The distributor is labeledwith part number 1111445 and is the correct points type distributor with GM/Delco cap and wires and spark plugs. The exhaust manifolds are correct number 3909878 and 3916178 dated 1967 with AIR smog holes, but plugged for smog pump delete. The air cleaner is correct wire pattern on element with correct base and correct silk screen AC Delco chrome lid. Engine hoses are GM part numbered with correct clamps.
The wheels on the car are genuine GM, not repop and are one year only for 1968 Camaro SS. The tires are NOS redlines, not repop Cokers. Antenna on car is correct. The alternator is numbered 1100814. The rear axle has been fully rebuilt, along with drive shaft and joints. Front end was fully rebuilt with new tie rod ends, ball joints, etc. The car has power steering and window washer bottle and squirters. Drive shaft is striped with white and yellow inspection rings.
The car has correct heavy duty big block radiator and shrowd, correct big block heater core, correct big block cross member, correct big block z-bar, correct big block engine frame mounts, and correct 5 leaf multi-leaf rear springs. Fan blade is 5 blade and has clutch.
