Vehicle Description
It's hard to go wrong investing in a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS,
especially when it has been given all the right investments. That
means a correct 1968 big block that's been enhanced, a close ratio
four-speed stick shift, and all the best components to create
muscle car desire on wheels.
The slick red paint will make your heart race, but this Camaro is
more about bad attitude than romance. It shows its aggressive side,
with a black streak, that starts with the RS grille, runs through
the SS stinger stripe, and continues onto the blacked-out rear
panel. Even the center cap on the iconic Rally wheels follows this
theme. The traditional ducktail out back adds to the SS's attitude,
and proper badging remains throughout, including the prized "396"
emblems on the front fenders. But before all these features fill
you with desire, take some time to look at the fundamentals. Panel
fit is quite good overall, there's been a solid investment in
mirror-like bumpers, and it's nice to see a stock hood with the
"ice cube tray" inserts, simply because their correct originality
draws attention.
Inside is the perfect mix of vintage premium and performance. The
Camaro's upscale buckets and console make this one feel more like a
gentleman's hot rod than a street brawler. This premium attitude is
continued with woodgraining on the console and three-spoke sport
steering wheel. The driver gets a full array of original
instruments, including the coveted tic-toc-tach and white-faced
auxiliary gauges on the console. This one feels so 1960s fresh, it
even has the period-correct AM/FM radio.
The big block 396 cubic-inch V8 nearly fills every inch under the
hood with muscle car prowess. One glance at the highly detailed
engine bay, and you'll see there was no expense spared in this very
important showpiece. It has been beautifully finished with plenty
of extra polished components, including the bright Cal Custom valve
covers with painted grooves to match the bold block color. So this
gives you the perfect blend of vintage appeal with upgraded
appearance. This mix also extends to the motor. Because while it's
great to have the original block still in the car, it's even better
to have it enhanced with go-fast goodies like a Holley 750 CFM
four-barrel carburetor, Weiand hi-rise aluminum intake, Mallory
ignition, and Hooker long tube headers. Plus, the original Muncie
M21 four-speed manual transmission is still in place to give you a
hardy gearbox that offers complete control over the monster motor
and its thunderous soundtrack. But taming this beastly Camaro is
also quite easy thanks to a Positration rear end, power steering,
and front disc brakes.
