Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro offers a pretty enticing proposition -
namely, the chance to own one of the most coveted classic muscle
cars of the late '60s that will arrive complete with a great
looking exterior and a very healthy sounding engine, as well as an
extensive collection of restoration photos to document all the
attention that's been lavished upon it to bring it to its current
impressive state.
Chevy had debuted the first generation of Camaros just a year
before this one came out, and you can see they certainly took the
importance of a strong first impression to heart. This '68 takes
the timeless looks of that model and adds a few well-chosen mods -
most notably a Z28 style scooped hood and a decklid spoiler . . .
for an unbeatable result. The yellow exterior, ornamented by a pair
of broad black stripes over the hood and deck lid, looks great on
this classic, and the paint is in nice shape, exuding an even glow.
Up top, the black vinyl top has a fresh look to it, providing solid
evidence that this classic has seen a sheltered life, spared from
the elements. Step around to the front, and you'll see that the set
of aftermarket Tri Bar headlights looks very fresh and provides a
great aftermarket touch. Those finishing details we look for in a
classic like this have been looked after - the front and back
bumpers and chrome trim are in good condition, the badging sharp
and well-positioned, and the glass on all four sides is nice and
clear.
It's pretty easy to see that a lot of time and attention went into
this interior, which features a largely stock configuration that
carries some great custom touches. Open the driver's side door and
you'll be greeted by a pair of black vinyl bucket seats that are
framed in yellow to match the exterior and look as if they've seen
very little action, while in back, the bench seat has been
thoroughly refurbished to match the color scheme of the buckets.
Fresh black carpeting sits underneath the seating, and a healthy
layer of sound and heat insulation resides beneath that. A Grant GT
wheel sits in place of the original, and just beyond you'll find a
dash area that's retained its stock look and benefits from the
installation of a column mounted tach to monitor revs, and two
cupholders that sit at the front of a very clean center console.
The original gauges are still holding court in the instrument
cluster, looking impressively readable. In back, the trunk area is
in very clean shape, lined with black carpeting bearing the
signature Chevy bowtie at its center.
A 350-cubic inch V8 sits underneath the scooped hood and provides
far more power than its original counterpart. Crowned with an
Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and a 4-barrel carb, it's
running strong and sounds great as it exhales into its FlowMaster
exhaust. The power plant is mated with a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission that's shifting with all the precision you'd want, to
make for a very compelling drivetrain. It's very street-ready, as
well, equipped with power steering to make navigating a breeze,
with a pair of disc brakes up front for fade-resistant stopping
power. This classic Chevrolet muscle car sits on a set of 17"
torque thrust wheels, outfitted with Hankook radials.
If you're looking to get behind the wheel of a bona fide muscle car
aristocrat that's all ready to hit the street as soon as you get it
home, you really should see this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. Call
