Vehicle Description
A 1968 Camaro convertible in red with black stripes is definitely a
car that anyone could love. But this one adds some extra spice to
the recipe. You might notice that the cowl induction scoop -
something of a trademark of Chevrolet performance - is a little
larger than usual. On the side are the numbers 364. These are hints
that something non-stock lurks underneath. The 6.0L LS2 is
presented in cubic inches in homage to this Camaro's origins.
Breathing is aided with an attractive cold-air system and
full-length tubular exhaust headers. It runs and sounds superb. But
there's a brilliant bonus. Atop the motor is also a very
well-executed LED display. The effect is very cool. The lights seem
to boldly proclaim the fact that this is a red Camaro, and that
fact alone makes this a desirable car. The interior is filled with
delightful Easter eggs. That's car talk for neat features not
readily apparent, but are happily discovered after spending quality
time with the car. First are the seats, direct from a Z06 Corvette
featuring Z06 embroidery. Then there's the dash. It looks the way a
'68 Camaro dash should look, but a closer look reveals carbon
fiber-look gauges with digital and analog readouts. A thick-rim
Grant steering wheel looks and feels just right in the car. The
center stack also looks stock until you notice the controls for a
high-end Kenwood sound system. Pop the trunk to find more serious
Kenwood hardware, along with an Optima battery to keep everything
functioning smoothly. Power four-wheel disc brakes bring the
stopping power up to the level of the best modern cars. So what
wheels to put on? Split 5-spokers from American Racing get the nod
and deservedly so, with 18's in front and 19's out back. The
package is complete, integrated, tasteful, functional, and just
plain fun. And one other detail. It's a convertible with a power
top. Does cruising get any better than this?
