Hey Joe,  welcome and happy hunting. The best advice I can give you is to never buy these 1st gens without seeing one in person, that is, unless you can entrust someone to look for you if the car is not nearby. It took me months and I was so tempted to buy sight unseen. There is so many hidden issues with these cars, I'm sure many here, like myself,  can give you real horror stories. My 1st 69 was purchased in March of 1976 in the northeast and it already starting to become a rust bucket. Just be patient and try to find ones near you.  Try to avoid dealers...many have no clue about the car. They just want top $$.

Originality / Re: Unusual 68 SS350 - What have I got here?

Interesting - just throwing this out there that it may be possible the suffix was stamped wrong??? or  - check the casting
number , easy to view on the top rear of the block behind the drivers side head - a 68' would be 3914678  but
if it's a casting number 3892657 , according to my information, this block was also intended to be used for 350 applications
in 67 as it was designed for. 68 327's  also used  3914660 - (327/300 Corvettes).

hmmmm, do you hear a slight grinding when you depress the clutch?
