Vehicle Description
This is a super clean looking machine. Complimenting that iconic
front end is nothing but a shiny Red paint job, an aggressive
stance, and a bark to the exhaust that says more than a bunch of
badges on the fenders or rally stripes could say. Check it out.
Let's dwell on the RS front end for a moment. The hideaway
headlights on the 68s look like a continuation of the grill.
Simple, clean, trimmed out in thin chrome piping and underlined by
a simple, pencil thin chrome bumper. It just doesn't get much
better than that. The Red paint flows up and over the power bulge
of the cowl induction hood and reflects the light off the crisp
clean lines down the center of that hood and the tops of the
fenders. The aggressive rake to the chassis is obvious from the
side and the coke bottle curves of the body look great, especially
on the rear fenders that bulge out to cover the back tires mounted
on sweet looking REV wheels. Polished stainless discreetly trims
out the wheel wells and the windows, and the back of the car ties
things together nicely with a rear deck spoiler, an RS gas cap
between the taillights, and another pencil thin bumper.
Open the door and you will find a Black interior that is simple,
yet set up for business. The door panel itself is Black with
horizontal pleating and slashes of chrome across the top and
bottom. The front bucket seats are comfortable with pleated seating
surfaces and smooth side bolsters. Slide into the driver's seat and
you will find a beefy steering wheel mounted on a chrome three
spoke hub. In the center console is a Hurst dual gate shifter that
looks like its ready for business. Reinforcing that perception is a
trio of Sunpro gauges mounted just in front of it for keeping
accurate tabs on water temp, oil pressure and the charging system
as well as a Sun Super Tach to remind you to keep the revs within
bounds. The rest of the dash is stock with a bit of wood-tone
surrounding the radio and ventilation controls.
Pop the hood open and you will find a healthy 350 cubic inch motor
nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. A chrome Edelbrock air
topper looks good and sits on top of an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and
intake manifold. Chrome valve covers add their splash of flash to
the engine bay while long tube headers wind their way out the
bottom to dual Flowmaster mufflers and it all works together to
make this car sound awesome. Power flows back through a 3-speed
automatic transmission to the rear wheels mounted on leaf springs.
Up front, control arms and coil springs keep things under control
with some new components tightening up the steering and helping the
car handle nicely. Front disc brakes insure that you can haul this
ride back down from speed if you decide to let those horses run,
and the rubber meets the road through 225/45/R17s up front and
235/55R17s in the back, all mounted on those great looking chrome
REV wheels.
A beautiful example of a '68 RS. Neat, clean, and healthy. Come on
down and check it out.
