I'd love to have a readable photo/scan for my Chevellestuff.com web site. Nice to show something besides SS cars all the time.

Thank you Dave and Dale! Was hoping for a better rear gear ratio. :( At least it's a posi! :)

Dale, Once I get things in order here, I'll scan the documents I have. I have what appears to be an order form and a sales invoice dated June and July of '68 for this car. I'll scan the POP too and anything else I find. Will be a week or two until I get my scanner hooked up.

This car is interesting in the options it has. Only power steering listed on the POP but it has a posi rear, speed minder speedometer and deluxe style belts! Seems odd for a 4 door 6 cylinder. ??

Just found it has front disc brakes too! (most likely not original but that's ok!) :)

Dale, I got those items scanned for you. You can use them on your website if you like.

Much appreciated, Bob. I'm due at the dinner table but I'll get on those docs. :thumbsup:

BTW, nice 348-409 site! I've had some inquiries about big car Chevrolet sites, I'll send 'em your way.
