I am looking at getting into the B-body crowd and thus far have been involved with E-Bodys more than anything else, so I am looking for some advice when going to check out a potential 68 Hemi GTX. Mod- if there is a better forum please let me know. Thanks in advance for the advice. Here's a link to the car in question http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT-C

J-code in VIN, #s may be stamped @ bellhousing near oil PSI sender, K-member skid plate, reinforcements at leaf springs, 3/8" fuel line, engine harness along rt valve cover with big plug & single plug, trans cooler on 727 cars, 3-speed/variable style wiper motor, 26" rad & shroud on Hemis...those are the easiest to see. No A/C or dash vents for same. '68 Hemi cars also had specific owner's manuals. '68 GTX VINs start with RS. They had rocker moldings, side stripes (check door edges & jambs for evidence), XHD rear springs, of course the cast trunklid panel & deep grille & bucket interior with woodgrain inserts on the dash & door/qtr trim panels.

radiator support and left side under under the trunk weatherstip, should have the SO number stamped.
Also there is an "extra support" plate for the rear axle pinion bump stop in Hemi cars.
