This car is a work in progress and has a list of item to change if owner feels inclined. That 730 Parchment interior with a black headliner and white trim. Unique but for me not so much!

Thanks, Paul, for the dealer advertisements. According to Shipping Dealer records it was completed at the Norwood plant on 3/26/68

Here’s a couple more old Newspaper Ads, sorry but nothing of ‘68 Camaros.
Looks like Moorehead lost their Chevy Franchise for actions contrary to their GM agreement, ceasing operation 10/74 as this link…

I think it's cool looking. Much better than black. I do think the pinch welt on the headliner would've been better black....Joe

Helped a guy about 15 years ago try to find documentation for his 68 L89 purchased new by his dad. Engine was MIA.
Never could document it, but pretty certain it was originally an L89.
I own an L89 Motor and would like to find the car it belongs to. Anyone have any advice on how to go about this.
