Vehicle Description
What we have here is a sweet looking '68 coupe that is the perfect
combination of originality where it matters with a few nice
upgrades for a bit of extra performance. It starts with a very
desirable, numbers matching 327 that sets the bar pretty high to
begin with, which is backed up by paint and interior that has been
kept in the factory original colors. Check it out.
Lemans Blue is a gorgeous color that really shows off the beautiful
shape of this car. It catches the light and reflects it back along
the gentle curves of the front end and especially highlights the
muscular bulges of the rear fenders where the roof blends into
them. A White "hockey stick" stripe leads the way up front and runs
down the front fenders with Camaro in script just above it,
tapering off as it ends on the doors. Up front, the grill is simple
in black, trimmed in chrome, with an SS badge in the center and is
flanked by single headlights on each side. A cowl induction hood
flows up and back from there and a thin chrome bumper underlines
the grill nicely. Chrome dresses out the fender wells and the
rocker panels too, while out back there is a spoiler on the trunk
lid, an SS fuel filler cap between rectangular taillights, and
another sharp looking chrome bumper underlining everything.
Open the door and you will find a Blue Custom interior that is also
the original color this car was delivered in, and matches the
Lemans Blue paint quite nicely. The molded door panel has a long
armrest which is comfortable for long distance cruising and a slash
of chrome underlines the door pull as well as Camaro in script. A
deep dish, 3-spoke steering wheel sits in front of a stock dash
with the speedometer and engine gauges protected from glare by
being tucked deeply back in their pods. The center of the dash has
a nice wood tone treatment which is trimmed in chrome and houses
the ventilation controls as well as a JVC FM/CD player for your
listening pleasure. The center console is also trimmed in wood and
there is a horseshoe shifter for the automatic transmission as well
as a little storage compartment in it. The bucket seats are
comfortable with pleated seating surfaces and smooth side bolsters
for support.
Pop the hood and you will find one of the very desirable 327 cubic
inch motors nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. It is the
original engine in this car with matching numbers which makes it
even more precious and there have been some bolt-on upgrades added
for improved performance. A chrome air cleaner assembly gathers up
plenty of fresh air from the cowl induction hood and feeds it to an
Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. The valve covers as well
as the alternator, water pump and brackets have all been chromed
adding some flash to the motor and the hoses are dressed up in
brushed metal protective covers with chrome ends. Long tube headers
get the spent gasses out and everything adds up to a motor that
runs great and sounds strong. The rubber meets the road through
25560R15 tires in the back and 235/60R15s up front mounted on Rally
wheels with chrome centers and trim rings.
This car is a looker and a runner with an original, numbers
matching 327 presented in its original color paint and interior.
Come on down and check it out for yourself. You just might decide
that it is just the '68 you have been looking for.
