My fav Vette yrs is the C2 1963-67 Stingray Coupe. Looks like your in Arizona. In 1973 I bought a 1968 Pontiac Beaumont. A Beaumont was the Canadian version of the Chevelle. Both Chevelle and Beaumont were built in the same plant in Oshawa Ontario Canada. Mine had the 327 4/bbl, but you could order the 396 which would have a side stripe emblem stating SD396.
