Decoding/Numbers / Re: All original, upgraded or Frankenstein car?

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! All depends on the actual numbers that I will find on the the block, at least the changes are upgrades as it looks. Not for originality, but for performance it is a plus.
Non-original wheels...that is a bit disappointing, but they look pretty nice this way I think. Let's see, if the price is right. Being able to bring te car back to its origin with all the documents is a plus for me.

Decoding/Numbers / All original, upgraded or Frankenstein car?
« on: June 14, 2019, 09:09:12 AM »
Hello Camaro fans,
I am new to this forum, and a fan of American musclecars. So I'm on the lookout to buy a Camaro convertible in The Netherlands. I found an imported 1968 V8, originally from NY. Has lots of original papers, including the protecto plate and original invoice. Haven't seen the car for real yet, but I'm going to make an appointment soon.
I decoded the protecto plate, and I think some changes have been made on the car. Engine (327 V8) and colors are correct. As are the options. But I'm doubting the gearbox (it is advertised with a 3 speed, but PoP says 2 speed Powerglide). And the owner says it has a Edelbrock carburator, he thinks is is a 4-barrel. Is that possible on a base 327 V8 2-barrel? And it has a (Holley??) RPM Manifold he says.
The PoP code:
E 124678N408753 B
V0328ME PA0322G 4
T8C22 1 4
Are they original or (good) upgrades? Can you tell if other upgrades or changes are made to the engine? I hope you can you tell by looking at the picture. This is what I have so far. Any other need- or nice to know stuff before I check out the car? Like value? Thank you so much in advance!
Best regards,
Bram, all the way from Holland
