Vehicle Description
There are certain vehicles that we know won't stay long under our
showroom lights. For example, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS
convertible is already a desirable car. But when you add all the
great factory-correct features like the paint, original four-speed
sick, and numbers-matching V8, it's a speedy classic with an
irresistible pedigree.
Ash Gold is the factory-correct color for this Camaro, and they
really must have understood that this would have become a cherished
classic when they applied this color. After all, the way the gold
looks today and the way the panels fit truly make this Camaro
precious metal. Adding to this sophisticated presence are the
nicely finished bumpers, polished stainless rocker moldings, and
proper Rally Sport badges. But make no mistake, it also has an
aggressive side. The RS hidden headlights and D91 "bumblebee"
stripe have an intimidating blacked-out appearance. And when the
coordinating black folding roof is in place, it only adds to this
feeling. These two worlds of elegance and performance unite in a
finishing touch on the shiny Rally wheel package.
Inside you'll instantly notice a very cool upgrade. The houndstooth
bucket seats are iconic on these first-generation Camaros. And the
cloth insert not only looks good, but it will also save your legs
when you hop in after a sunny day car show. The darkness of the
seats coordinates nicely with the door panels, carpeting, and dash
pad. But this is far from a sea of darkness the dash panel
brightens up the interior nicely with its gold and wood paneling.
And while you're checking that out, we bet you spotted the 8-track
stereo - a cool vintage tough is still cranking out the tunes! But
the real fun of this Camaro comes when you grab the three-spoke
sports steering wheel with your left hand, and lay your right one
on the bold chrome and black floor shifter.
Under the hood is original V8 this Camaro received nearly half a
century ago. Believed to be rebuilt at least once in its lifetime,
it's beautifully detailed from the proper decals on the air cleaner
to Chevy Orange paint on the block. Good maintenance means this
honest motor fires up on command, and it's one of smoothest Camaro
we've driven. There is plenty of power from the four-barrel
carburetor, and the original Saginaw four-speed manual transmission
means you get complete control over this V8. Plus, power steering,
front disc brakes, and BF Goodrich T/A tires mean you have both a
powerful and comfortable cruiser.
An exceptionally smooth numbers-matching first-generation Camaro
convertible is a true cut-above classic that gets rarer by the day.
