Ok if none of these things matter then how do you find out for sure if you hit a dead end with the dealership? The protect-o-plate has the original purchasers name Dymo taped backwards on it. I will try to find this person i suppose.

Ok I have the protect-o-plate in the back of the protection plan. All numbers on the plate the cowl and the partial vin on the block match. Is this possible to fake?

I called it a build sheet but it is actually the window sticker with the 5L89aa and the cost of that option is there also. The car has been in the family for over thirty years. I have spent hours matching the numbers and everything per this sites info seems to be correct. The car has 26k original miles on it. I do not feel to comfortable disclosing to much info about this car online but I really would like to know for sure it is what i think it is. This car has only seen 2k miles in the last thirty years is was purchased for 18k in '84. Ireally donot see anyone going through that much trouble to fake this thing to only make 18k?   If this is an all original 26k '68 396 L89 car with perfect interior how much could it be worth? Thank you for all your info.
