The Camaro has bias ply Red Line tires mounted on factory original
Rallye Wheels.
Interior
The interior is excellent and several items have been replaced as
needed like the front seat covers, package tray, and door panels
and the steering wheel is in excellent original condition.
All the interior looks great with the twin bucket seats, gauges in
the dash, Am/Fm Radio, carpet, and original 4-speed shifter on the
floor.
Exterior
This Camaro COPO was purchased new at Jack Head that has been a
California car since new with original black plates. The original
owner wanted a new Verdoro Green Firebird but none were available
so he ordered the Camaro from the local dealer.
For years it remained on the same street in California with only
two owners. The outside is virtually rust free and we can only find
a few imperfections near the lower rear passenger quarter. The hood
and from the doors back look to be original metal and the front
fenders and header are believed to have been replaced at one
time.
All glass looks to be original, bumpers original as well as trim
and lenses. It has a new black vinyl top and the trunk looks nice
with the original spare tire, jack, and tools.

and desirable. If you want an example of a Gen 1 Camaro, with a
stack of receipts and documentation, then tis 1968 is the one for
you. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer one in this price
