Vehicle Description
Energized by a fresh color scheme that provides an aesthetic nod to
a group of its heralded aftermarket brethren, this 1968 Chevrolet
Camaro SS 396 represents one of the most sought after muscle car
models ever created in its first generation form. It's got power
galore, as well as a singular stance that will really allow it to
stand out wherever it may roam.
Many classic car aficionados are likely to recognize the striking
paint this '68 wears. The vibrant yellow backdrop with painted
black striping encircling the cowl scoop on the hood mirrors the
appearance of the Yenko Camaros of the era - a select class of this
Chevy's stablemates that ventured straight off the assembly line
and into the capable hands of one of America's most respected
aftermarket wizards. The aggressive stance on display here is
amplified even further by larger wheels in back, making it look
like this muscle car is raised on its haunches and ready to uncoil
at the changing of a stoplight - in fact, it is. The attention
getting color combo is in good form, showing a strong shine - a
comprehensive detailing would elevate it even further - and the
striped ornamentation sits under a strong clearcoat to make for a
nice, uniform texture. From end to end, the chrome trim is in top
form, further adding to this car's already singular appeal and the
signature SS lettering up front is surrounded by a fresh black
grille.
Just inside, the authentically stock interior makes for a very road
ready and compelling driving environment, with a pair of clean
front buckets on either side of a sharp factory center console that
provides some welcome interior storage space and positions the
signature Chevy horseshoe shifter, accented by a fresh woodgrain
panel, within easy reach. Just a little farther forward, you'll see
the quartet of displays that marks the presence of one of the most
coveted features in this classic's day - the upgraded console gauge
package. The matching carpet lining the floor has plenty of miles
left in it and is punctuated by a pair of branded floor mats in
front whose bright yellow accents provide a nice bit of contrast to
the rest of the interior. A fresh, supple dash pad runs across the
top of the dash, clear and functional gauges reside inside the
instrument panel and you'll find an AM/FM/CD player on board inside
the glove box to tend to your audio needs while on the road.
This Camaro is ready to provide g-force inducing adventures on the
asphalt just as soon as you get it home. Armed with a 4-barrel
carb, the 396 cubic inch V8 lurking under the cowl hood is in top
form, starting right up and pulling with plenty of conviction as it
sends that distinctive sound only a roller motor can make into the
long tube headers leading out to its dual exhaust. There's a
3-speed automatic TH400 transmission in place just behind the
powerplant, rounding out a drivetrain that's thoroughly dialed in
and ready for action. An array of chrome components adds eye candy
to the engine compartment, while an upgraded radiator helps keep
operating temperatures under control and an aftermarket ignition
maximizes available spark. The set of aggressively staggered R Rev
wheels - 17" in front and a full 20" in back - provide an
outstanding stance, while power steering and power brakes with
discs up front equip this classic with excellent manners in
everyday motoring conditions.
Decked out in its endlessly appealing color combo and offering
plenty of smile inducing power, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396
represents a great opportunity. Call today!
