Chick,

Yes the original owner does have pictures of the car and he made copies for us.  I'm hoping to get the pictures and everything else that goes with the car in the next few weeks.  Guess time will tell.     I'll be sure and post those pics too.

William, yeah I'm still digging.  As soon as I get all of the parts from the owner, I plan to take the car to Los Angeles and have Dick Gulstrand take a look at it.  Dick actually needs to see the car and he may be able to visually confirm the Dana origins.  Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Thank you Marty so much for your help.  I'll get a close up of the trim tag and Vin# soon!  Peg

Victor,

The original owner said it was purchased from Dana Chevrolet - 427 engine (original engine blown up on Green Spot Road in Redlands, Ca)  Plus he has the original picture, I am in the process of obtaining.  Some of the tell-tale signs are:    Big block heater core;  center mount battery tray in trunk; gas filler neck actually has bladder around it; firewall behind rear seat; sway bar and springs in front are oxidized red (not stock); evidence in the rear end had a track bar that was red; five leaf springs in the rear and two have been pinch cut for a traction bar; 3/8 original fuel line; AC Delco booster fuel pump with the belden wire battery cable routed correctly through the car; holes for Hurst shifter badge; have original trans and Hurst shifter; plus more.

I am new to this site as my husband and I recently bought a 1968 RS/SS Dana Camaro.  We bought it from the original owner who said they had it special ordered from Dana Chevrolet with a 427 engine.  Of course the original paperwork, engine and hood is missing.  We do have the original fenders and there are tell-tale signs of it actually being a Dana.  My questions is "how can we verify this is actually a Dana and get it documented"?
