Great project, those floors are NICE!

That would be a nice project.    Too bad the build sheet is from a 318 car. St. Louis car built July 5th, 1968...probably a lot of treasures in those body panels.     The double transmission stamp is a new one on me. What is the first stamp on the transmission, 8D289656?

That broadcast sheet is in great shape.  Guess no one ever "used" the back seat.

Engine code clearly an F though...

161 images!  There ain't a straight panel on the old girl and the fender tag is not for that car, but it appears the engine and trans numbers match the VIN.

That is the fender tag - Why do you think it isn't?

Oh - I thought he meant an F on the engine top pad. They said it was the wrong broadcast sheet anyway so that don't matter.

[tan top]

  yeah  but look at the vin to broadcast sheet

 XS29L8G279457  
 XP29F8G2794*7 ??     i don't know enough / familiar with 68s  to make out do the broadcast sheet codes match the fender tag

He has got a broadcast sheet from a 318 Charger in the picture. I wrote him about that on Friday.
Not to uncommon to find sheets for other cars. I found one for a 6 cylinder Dart in my 68 R/T.

In 1968 the VIN that is stamped on the block and tranny is NOT on the fender tag. The SO number "219966" is on the fender tag
and is also stamped on the core support and under the trunk seal. See the middle pic above.
The only thing that is strange about this car is the broadcast sheet, as it is from another car.

Agreed.    In '68 the SO number on the fender tag matches the body stampings (radiator core support and trunk lip) while the partial vin is found on the engine and transmission. Now, the transmission stamp is peculiar in that it seems that the transmission was stamped with another vin initially and then, for unknown reasons, was stamped again with the vin for this car. I asked Doug (69CoronetRT) who said

"I'm thinking the transmission come out of the C body for factory service repair and it was sent back to the dealership as a replacement for the Charger. I'd lean more towards this explaination but I have no idea how that happened."

Aside from this peculiar tranny stamp this is a nice legit St. Louis built car.

i was confused about it being a diffrent sheet , from a different car would it be one digit out  & its the one you can't see , behind the spring
although can see it getting mixed up maybe interior trim color the same

good project ! looking at the pictures  , yeah the body is beat up , can see a few bubbles coming through , its just the gold crappy paint job making it look worse !! the underside looks pretty much rot free

Buyer is subject to a $299 paperwork fee / dealer handling fee.

That is the fastest thing that will turn me away from any deal. I'm not paying anybody any "paperwork fee" to sign over the title to a car that I was high bidder on.  


The car does have potential.
