Now for sale at Gateway Classic Cars is this beautiful unrestored
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 L-89! The authenticity and miles are
sworn and notarized by the original owner. The car was purchased
brand new at Herb Hallman Chevrolet in Reno. Equipment on this car
include the Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, 12 bolt rear end,
air injection reactor (smog), Delco AM radio, center console, black
vinyl interior, front and rear spoilers, Rallye wheels and redline
tires. Finished in the original color "Corvette Bronze" (code 0-0),
offered only in 1968. This is the punchy 375hp L89 engine! This
rating was extremely conservative, since it was the same motor that
made 425 HP in 1965 without any changes. While the L89 option did
not bring any more horsepower, it did offer a weight savings of at
least 50 pounds. The aluminum heads were exact copies of the
high-performance rectangular port heads that the L78s and L72s came
equipped with. With some simple carb tuning, tubular exhaust
headers and a re-curve on the distributor, these cars could be
running mid 13s easily. Because of the high-revving nature of the
solid-lifter big-blocks, you couldn't order power steering or air
conditioning with any of these engines. This is a very rare car and
in original factory condition. The base price of the car back in
the day was $2,694 but with these extensive options it totaled
$4,172.50. With inflation that equates to about $30,000 in today's
money. Not a lot really when you consider our top of the line
Camaro these days is more than double that. For more information on
