For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Prostreet in Ft Worth, Texas
Go big or go home, that's the bottom line with this high-profile
1968 Chevrolet Camaro. With a pro-street vibe, it offers outrageous
paint, a stout big block V8, and enough tire to make this
street-legal hammer a legitimate threat just about anywhere it
goes.
When you're building a Pro Street machine, subtlety is the last
thing on your mind, and with that thought at the forefront of their
minds, the guys who built this one gave it a gorgeous coat of
Hugger Orange. Underneath that paint, however, there's
ultra-straight sheetmetal that stretches taut over the Camaro's
mechanicals, giving it a crouching look. There's also a 2-inch cowl
induction hood and plenty of authentic SS badges, too, so it has
the right look, especially with the addition of original-style hood
inserts. Is it a real SS? Who cares! It looks right, sits right,
and with a blacked-out grille and ducktail spoiler, it certainly
looks the part. The work was done a few years ago, but it still
looks fantastic, a testament to the guys who did the work. If it's
attention you crave, your car has arrived.
Despite the radical look outside, the interior is a fairly
user-friendly place that gets the "street" part of pro-street
exactly right. You'll note factory bucket seats with houndstooth
upholstery, stock door panels, a stock dash, center console and
even a factory steering column. Gauges are original and include a
factory tachometer and factory auxiliary dials down on the console.
The Hurst 4-speed shifter is a joy to row through the gears without
thinking about breakage and you'll note a few extra switches on the
console, which control the power windows. There's a ton of
sound-deadening material used inside, so it feels quite civilized,
and as a result the AM/FM/iPod stereo sounds pretty darned good.
The trunk hasn't been hacked up or filled with fuel cells and
batteries, just clean floors that are a reproduction mat away from
looking as good as new.
The biggest part of Pro Street is the hardware, and this car
doesn't disappoint. The block is a 454 cubic inch Chevy V8 that's
fully dressed for show as well as go. Starting with a bunch of
dress-up parts, including finned Mickey Thompson valve covers and a
chrome air cleaner, it's joined by a satin black firewall that
gives it the perfect backdrop, as well as carefully hidden wiring
and plumbing so it looks ultra-clean. There's a big Holley 4-barrel
carburetor atop an Edelbrock intake manifold, so throttle response
is snappy and an MSD ignition system lights it up. Ceramic-coated
long-tube headers and a custom stainless dual exhaust with an
X-pipe and relatively mellow mufflers give it a great sound that's
totally tolerable on the street, which is more than we can say
about a lot of other pro-street creations. The Muncie 4-speed
shifts cleanly, the floors are augmented with subframe connectors,
and there's a bulletproof 12-bolt rear end out back. 4-wheel disc
brakes, Bilstein shocks, and custom traction bars all give this
Camaro better reflexes than you'd ever expect. Factory Rally wheels
are really the only choice for a machine like this, and they wear
225/60/15 Dunlops up front and 275/60/15 BFGs out back.
Fast, fun, and ready to rock, you show up with this car and you're
definitely The Man. Call today for all the lurid details!
