68 GS info is it real

How can I be able to tell if a 1968 GS is a true GS I got my eyes on a 68 bench seat car with a 4-speed

 

VIN 44637 = GS400 43437 = GS350

 

Thank you

 

So what would 43327 be I am assuming a Skylark

 

Even lower a Special.

 

Thank you

 

Could 43327 be a GS California?

 

A '68 GS California would have the VIN start with 43327, but so do Special Deluxes. You can't tell a GS California from Special Deluxe by VIN

 

I don’t think any GS Californias were four speeds though; all I’ve ever seen were 4 barrel 350 with an ST300 or Turbo 350 in ‘69.

Also the four speed was an add on I found out later last night

 

68 cali would be a post, I would think

 

Here it is

 

Patrick’s..... without documentation, can’t prove if it’s real.

 

There's some weird things on that car - has the vinyl top trim - but no vinyl top. Look under those c pillar badges and see if there's any pieces of the vinyl top under it. That 4-speed on the floor doesnt look original - I'd look up under at the gas pedal base and see if the ST300 throttle switch is still there - or least has the gas pedal w bracket for it - I bet that car orig came with a ST300. Also, that front seat doesn't look like a Special Deluxe style seat. Every '68 GS CA I've heard of has a vinyl top and ST300 trans.

It does have the right hood scoop and hood trim, the trim is missing from the trunk. What about the engine is it a '68 350-4 with the engine code PP? Maybe the build sheet is still under the back seat or on top of the gas tank - with out that you wont know for sure - since the car has a bunch of different stuff on it. Does it have a GS grill?
