Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
The Camaro, manufactured by Chevrolet, was hardly a new idea; more
like a hurried attempt to keep up with the recently
launched/remarkably successful Ford Mustang. It started as a pony
car, but later introduced muscle car versions in the market.
Launched on September 29, 1966, the Camaro comes in five distinct
generations, with the last one being introduced on March 16,
2009.
For consignment a tricked-out Camaro with some extra goodies just
for giggles, all dressed in Grotto Blue, a fiberglass stinger hood,
and Corvette rally wheels, and let's go racing!
Exterior
Steel panels are fairly straight on this car, although they have
been invaded by bubbling rust on the rear quarters, rockers below
the doors, and a few chips and dents on the roof. The front bumper
has been removed, a rear spoiler complete with black stripe which
begins on the fiberglass stinger hood, and works its way back to
the trunk lid and spoiler. The front clip is slightly off color and
could have been replaced. Corvette rally wheels are on all 4
corners.
Interior
Mostly original materials for the interior, blue vinyl buckets in
front and a rear bench. The center console has storage, and the
space age dual vertical and single horizontal bar for the gear
shifter. Original dash in clean condition, with deep inset circular
gauges one being a tachometer and the other a clock, spherical AC
vents and levers. A cluster of additional gauges is noted within
the console. All blue and chrome, even the carpet with a few marks
on the floor is blue.
Drivetrain
A newer (circa 1969) 327ci V8 is now sitting in the engine bay
which is looking good with its orange painted block, and chromed
valve covers and air cleaner. Headers and a Flowmaster dual exhaust
make some nice noise. Holley Pro-Jection fuel injection feeds this
nice mill, and a high power Petronix electronic ignition ignites
it. A 3-speed turbo 400 automatic transmission is on back and
pushes power rearward to a 10-bolt rear.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust exists and invasive rust is starting on the frame
and other parts, but the car remains fairly structurally sound. The
rust that is causing the bubbling on the exterior persists on the
inside of the rockers. Floor pans are clean and rust free. Power
disc brakes have been put on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up and ran like a deer. It has nice power, a
great sound, and handled well on our test course. The original
seats are still comfortable, and overall it is a good experience to
drive.
Save for some rust invading the lower panels and unibody structure,
this car is nicely buttoned up and will be a fun driver for
someone. Vintage air that blows cold, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a
1969 327ci V8, and now you are good to go! Release the horses!
