Nope. Sorry. What's it being advertised as?

It’s advertising as just a 68 Camaro, but the 15” tire sticker in the glove box looked very original and the interior looked like it had never been restored or messed with

Share photos and get opinions.  Don’t make the mistake of buying a car and it turning out to be not what you hoped..

Well, glove boxes are easily changed so that really proves nothing. And the type of interior doesn't tell you anything either so if you're looking to buy and curious as to what the car is, post pictures like Darrell stated.

The 12 bolt had a code of BS, with 4 leaves  and the radiator tag was UH

You're going to need to post pictures of the axle stamp and the date code on the center section. Also, 4 leafs isn't definitive proof of a Z28. 4 leaf springs were used on non-Z28's as well. The UH radiator was also used on the base V8 327 engine, so again, no definite proof, especially since I believe these are being reproduced.

Post a picture of the engine pad too. Make sure you remove any paint with paint remover and DON'T use anything abrasive. If it's the original engine, that'll tell you exactly what you have.

A 3.31 axle is not likely to be under a 68 Z28.

Is the radiator a 3 core?
