Vehicle Description
A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS presented in its factory-correct full
red package already has a ton of appeal. But when you can also find
a numbers-matching V8 car that has a stick shift and alluring
vintage style, well then, you know you've discovered a coupe for
true enthusiasts.
It's great to find a first-gen Camaro done with all the right
factory pieces. After all, the RS hidden headlight front end is a
true icon. And the sporty style is continued on the Super Sport
pieces like the front air dam, faux velocity stacks, and full-width
rear spoiler. Plus, there's the bold white D91 "bumblebee" stripe
up front. This one is even still wearing its correct 14-inch Rally
wheels. Not many Camaros like this retain and wear their history
this well. This coupe has spent over half its life with one owner.
It was taken care of, and the last time it was given a respray of
it factory-correct Bolero Red was about halfway through its life.
It gives this coupe an old-school kind of attitude that seems to be
lost today. So while there's room in this budget price to do
restoration work, we already like this one for its personality it
gives off in the first impression.
The red interior has a terrific look against the red exterior, and
this coupe was born this way. In fact, the full presentation is
highly original, right down to the AM radio that's still cranking
out tunes. Within the classic style, this remains a terrific
driver's machine. That's why you have the three-spoke SS steering
wheel, floor shifter, and the deeply recessed gauges. Classic
motoring doesn't get any better than rolling down all the windows
for the full pillarless hardtop profile (remember they were able to
eliminate the vent windows in '68.)
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. The bold
orange on the block, valve covers, and intake have a nice stock
look. But there have also been room for the right improvements.
Under the polished air topper is a recently rebuilt four-barrel
carburetor. And headers let this V8 exhale freely into the dual
exhaust. This is the kind of classic that's meant to keep you in
touch with the road, right down to the control of the three-speed
manual transmission.
We love the RS/SS coupes, and this one has extra personality and a
terrific price. So you know it's a package that will be moving
fast. Call today!!!
