 1968 Camaro - Matching Number

This is my 1968 camaro that I purchased several years ago to restore. Much of it is complete, including a brand new paint job. If I had the couple of weekends free to work on it, It would made road worthy, I just don't have any time off and have too many projects. Therefore, I am listing it here.

The white paint is new; it was originally it's factory green when I got it, with a green interior. I had plans of adorning it with black stripes and a black vinyl top.
It has a 3 speed on the floor tranny that is connected. The clutch shaft is not connected to the tranny (just needs one bolt)... I may crawl under it this weekend, if I'm home long enough, and hook it up. Like most camaro's of this vintage, the floor pans will need to be replaced or fixed. I think they're about 70 bucks for new ones.
When I purchased the car, I think the previous owner was in the process of doing a 'ground-up' restoration, but didn't complete it. He had taken lots of stuff off the car and put it inside. The tranny shifts smooth in and out of all the gears, but without the clutch connected, I haven't engaged it while it's running.
When I purchased it, it didn't start. After putting new oil, spark plugs, battery, gas and HMI distributor in it, it started right up (I kept the original 'points distributor').
As of last night, when I went to start it, the starter motor got stuck 'on', I had to disconnect the battery to make it stop....probably just the old solenoid on the starter motor.
The engine, tranny and rearend appear to all be original with no oil leaks, as my garage floor is clean.

BIG DEAL with this car that makes it so valuable is that the body and engine numbers are matching. Because of the condition of the engine, I assume that the 73,000 miles on the odometer are original. It doesn't appear that the engine has ever been tampered with (see pics). I have, in hand, a clean, bonded blue title in my name..

A new interior will be required. An entirely new interior goes for just around 1k online....check out ebay, you'll find several options for interiors.
Inside the car and in the trunk are lots of chrome trim and accessory pieces that will make the dressing up the car much easier.
Matching tires and wheels - Two of the tires are in great shape, and 2 are at about fifty percent.
Brakes are drum all the way around. There was a little body work done on the car during paint, but not much. It's really hard to see in the pictures, but the top has some minor waves in the metal. A vinyl top would make it unnoticeable, or you can have someone that knows what they are doing take them out.
The windshield appears to be original and has no cracks. The windows are in the doors, I just didn't have them rolled up for the pictures.
That's about all I can think of.  Feel free to checkout my Ebay Reputation;100% Positive feedback since 1998.

This is a GREAT short term project and investment. As you do your research, you'll notice that Chevy made very, very few with the 327 / 3 speed tranny combo and virtually impossible to find one with matching numbers.
Thanks for looking.  If you have any questions, please let me know. I'll do my best to answer them.
