Vehicle Description
You can call this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS pro touring or a resto
mod...Labels don't matter when you play at this premium level of
fuel-injected V8 power, modern upgrades, and the slickest custom
you're ever going to see.
Before we let you admire the paint, take a moment to look over the
body. It seems a bit more modern than other first-gen Camaros you
see, right? That's because they really sweated the details. Drip
rails were eliminated, sport mirrors were added, the windshield and
rear glass was flush-mounted, and the fenders were delicately
flared to accommodate the 10-spoke US Mags wheels. It was all to
make sure this had the most seamless appearance of any '68 you've
ever seen. Even the iconic full-width spoiler was custom-built into
the design. It's one sleek machine, and so it deserves a
butter-smooth paint job. That's why the modern red went on with
such a professional had that you'll swear this coupe is
candy-coated. And because there's less than 50 miles on the whole
build, you really get to enjoy the investments made. But while this
red looks aggressive, you'll also love this coupe's darker side.
You see it in the custom grille with the Rally Sport's hidden
headlights, low front air dam, blacked-out rear panel, and the
custom cowl hood with a power bulge that's highlighted in black.
It's a total package that's both slick and intimidating all in the
first glance.
Inside, one of the first things you'll notice are the seats. You
instantly recognize these as modern performance seats with modern
bolstering. This is not only for you, but also all passengers -
front and rear. The black leather is supple, and the red stitching
is the kind of detail that you expect from a top-quality build like
this. Plus, everyone gets a nice center console with welcomed cup
holders in between. When your arm is not resting on the padded
console, it will instantly be attracted to the Clayton shifter.
Just ahead of that is an AM/FM/CD stereo with modern USB and
Bluetooth connections. Plus, there's more great luxury items like
modern R-134a air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power
steering, and a push-button start. But more than just a coddler,
this is a true performance machine. You slip behind a NRG sports
steering wheel mounted on an Ididit tilt steering column. Beyond
that is a large AutoMeter speedo and tach, and to the side is a
full auxiliary gauge trio. All this lets you know there's something
serious under the hood even before you fire it up and hear it
roar.
While many motors are chromed, this modern classic goes for the
full blackout treatment in the very tidy engine bay. This includes
great modern touches like the carbon fiber air topper and matching
valve covers. More than just look modern, this 383 cubic-inch
stroker V8 features modern performance pieces like the MSD Atomic
electronic fuel injection, MSD ignition, and serpentine belt
system. Other great upgrades include 3.75 steel crank, 10:1
compression, Pro-Comp CNC aluminum heads, Comp Cams 280 CFI roller
camshaft, and Edelbrock Air Gap intake. Plus, Hedman shorty headers
add even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the
Pypes X-pipe dual exhaust. The enhanced V8 is mated to a TKO 600
five-speed manual to give you full control over the big power and
its thunderous soundtrack. This connects to a stout Strange S60
rear end with limited-slip and 3.73 ratio for great takeoffs. And
more than just getting off the line, this one is an all-around
performer with suspension upgrades like a Ridetech front subframe
with tubular A-arms and adjustable coilovers. The rear is upgraded
to a four-link with adjustable coilovers. Plus, you've got the
superior control with the large full Wilwood four-wheel disc brake
package and ultra-grippy (and expensive) Michelin Pilot Super Sport
tires.
This is the prestige of a first-generation Camaro in a
street-eating package that has the kind of comfort and control to
leave you wanting for nothing. It's a thorough custom build, and we
have the receipts to prove it. Here's a vintage muscle car that
does everything, including leave our showroom quickly, so you
better call today!
