Vehicle Description
With its exterior shining bright and a throaty rumble coming out of
its dual exhaust, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS350 is a sight
that's pretty much guaranteed to lift your mood. First generation
Camaros are such universally appealing classics to begin with, and
a healthy, strong-running drivetrain on top of some well-chosen
modifications make this one a blast to drive.
A Canary yellow exterior, with painted black accents on the nose
and sides, sits in place of the more sedate Butternut shade this
renowned muscle car left the factory with and equips it with a very
magnetic, era-appropriate appearance. While it's been a little
while since it pulled out of the restoration shop and onto the
street, this is still one sharp-looking Camaro that will no doubt
attract attention anywhere you go. Its contrasting black vinyl top
is in fine condition, with no tears or bubbling, the bumpers both
fore and aft still have a nice shine to them and clean glass
surrounds the cabin. Take a closer look and you'll see that the
exterior alignment is in good stead as well - even gaps surround
the hood, doors and deck lid all open and shut easily. Up front, a
nicely contoured hood scoop adds some visual flair, while in back,
the color-matched spoiler on the deck lid is looking sharp and
well-aligned.
A well- configured interior sits just inside the doors, with its
mostly stock configuration complemented nicely with some more
modern upgrades. The black vinyl covers on both the front buckets
and rear bench seat have plenty of life left as they loom over
black carpeting that appears to have been fairly recently added.
With its burlwood grain accents, quadrant of AutoMeter white faced
gauges and signature horseshoe shifter, the center console is a
definite strong point in this classic. A GT Grant steering wheel
takes its place on the column, while just beyond the factory gauges
sit behind clear, easily readable lenses just underneath a clean,
straight dashboard. This Chevy has things covered in the audio
department - it's sporting a Kenwood AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary
and USB ports, so you'll have plenty of options at your disposal.
The trunk area in back is as clean as you could want - with no
liner on its floor, you can get a good view inside and see how
solid the interior components are.
If you're itching to get out on the road behind the wheel of a
wheel of a strong-running classic, this Camaro definitely climbs up
the "must see" list. The 350 cubic inch V8 sitting under its
scooped hood in an impressively well-detailed engine compartment
carries a 4-barrel carb under its chrome Holley air cleaner and a
pair of chrome valve covers on its sides and is in fine form.
Exhaling through aftermarket headers leading into dual exhausts,
this '68 sounds out a great note that has a slight loping cadence
to suggest there may have been a mild performance cam added to the
mix. Power brakes that feature discs up front combine with a master
brake cylinder and booster that were replaced not long ago to
provide fade-resistant, low effort stops while power steering makes
this '68 an easy navigator. This perennial muscle car favorite
rolls on a set of 15" American Racing polished aluminum wheels
outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A radials.
