Vehicle Description
After witnessing the visual magic of this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS
for the first time, your next inclination might well be to wonder
if it's got the muscle to back up its singular look. Rest assured
that it does. This masterfully customized muscle car has only
ventured a short distance since its thorough restoration not only
equipped it with celestial curb appeal, but also with a potent,
rumbling big block under its scooped hood.
All focus is certain to be turned its way when this vintage Chevy
comes into view. With the already high impact of its exterior
amplified even further by a blacked-out front grille, tinted cabin
glass and flat black bumpers both fore and aft, this is a classic
that simply demands attention. Its glossy black paint defies the
color's tendency to magnify any flaws it may carry - there are no
major blemishes to be found here and a simple buff and wax session
will elevate things to an even higher level. The emblem free
appearance of the front grille with its hidden headlights adds an
even stronger touch of customization to the mix and as you follow
the contour running across the middle of the hood toward the
windshield, the cowl scoop serves notice that there's some serious
power lurking just below. Its tastefully inclined stance makes it
seem like this Chevy classic is coiled and ready to strike at any
moment. All this flash comes with no compromise to precision - the
exterior alignment looks great as well.
The stare inducing exterior pairs with an interior that's been
thoroughly restored in largely factory configuration and it's a
very compelling combination. The front buckets and rear bench seat
wear black and white houndstooth check covers that mirror the
signature configuration of the upper crust Camaros of the era and
are nice and clean as they loom over fresh black carpeting. A
woodgrain steering wheel is perched on the column, and just beyond
it the dash area and center console are both in top condition, with
the former harboring an assortment of Classic Instruments gauges
that have been seamlessly installed in place of the originals. The
added Vintage Air climate control system cools the cabin via in
dash vents for a nice, finished look, while a retro radio offers
USB connectivity for added audio options.
Just as the aggressive appearance of the hood would have you
believe, there's a monster of a motor standing by in the
compartment in the form of a 454 cubic inch V8 that's been armed
with aluminum heads, as well as an Edelbrock intake manifold and
4-barrel carb. It sits in a very nicely detailed engine bay with
its chrome valve covers and air cleaner polished to perfection and
is surrounded by an array of fresh hoses and top tier components
that include aftermarket headers, an HEI ignition, a Wilwood brake
booster and a sizable aluminum radiator that teams with a pair of
electric fans to keep temperatures down. The accompanying 5-speed
manual transmission puts full control of its considerable power in
the hands of the driver. This classic Camaro is not only about
straight ahead acceleration - it offers an impressive overall
driving experience, with added tubular A-arm front suspension,
smooth power steering and power brakes that feature discs up front.
Those brakes also add more eye candy to a car that's already
absolutely chock full of it as their painted red surfaces peer out
from a set of 17" Rally wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich G-Force
tires.
