1 = Chevrolet
32 = Chevelle 300 V8
27 = 2 Dr sedan (post)

Can't tell what size V8 engine from VIN or cowl tag.

My info shows that the standard equipment for the (300) 13227 vin came with the turbo-fire V8 200 hp 9.00:1 compresion ratio engine.

Optional V8s included the 327/250, 327/275, and 327/325. If it's an automatic, the 325 would be eliminated. No big block as that would require the SS936 sport coupe/convertible/El Camino.

Dale, do you production numbers for 300 sedan V8 in 1968?

Around 2,000 units I thought. Thanks, Jim
