Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Camaro
The first generation of Camaro appeared in 1966 for the 1967 model
year and debuted GMs new F body platform. This generation only
lasted 3 years but many would argue these would be the pinnacle of
all muscle car designs ever created. These cars fit perfectly into
the muscle car era and although there was a brief lapse in time
where they weren't being produced the resurgence of the newer
modern classic Camaro shows that this look still holds a very
special place in the hearts of classic car fanatics. This 68 SS is
a beautifully built one and incorporates all the right stuff for
not only a great look but a great feel behind the wheel. On first
glance the thing that catches your eye is the beautiful Burgundy
paint. The color on this car is very striking and looks perfect
paired with the Gloss Black bumblebee stripe on the nose. It is
very solid, straight and rust free. All of the body sheet metal is
original except for one GM replacement. The floors underneath are
painted Black and restored to new condition. The front and rear
bumpers are beautifully chromed and cleanly mounted in place. The
blacked out front grill looks great and prominently displays the
White SS emblem right on the nose. The Super Sport hood sits on top
of the nose featuring the SS chrome louvers. In back the D80 rear
spoiler completes the Camaro look and up front it has a custom
Glossy Black spoiler. The only are of damage on the car is that
lower front spoiler and it is only noticeable from the side. The
builders however realized this so a second spoiler comes with the
car and is already painted to match and ready for install should
you want to make it perfect and take it to one of the higher level
shows. All of the glass is in great shape and framed with nice
stainless trim. The car has an awesome stance and the side profile
has an aggressive look which we mean in a very good way. The
American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels have a beautiful finish and
it rides on 18s up front and 20s in the rear. These nicely fill up
the wheels wheels and add to that slight rake in the stance. The
car is really impressive in person.
The car has that look but what about the power to back it up? Well
there is no power lacking here because under the hood sits a fully
rebuilt big block 454. Big block Chevy power suits a car like this
perfectly and the motor was built with the traditional look using
Chevrolet Orange and Chrome. The inner fenders, radiator support
and firewall are also very nicely painted which creates a very
clean appearance under the hood. Some of the mechanical upgrades
include the Holley 4 barrel carb, an aftermarket points
distributor, aluminum intake, MSD Blaster II coil, Accel
Ferro-spiral race wires, an aftermarket aluminum radiator, 2
electric pull fans, aluminum Weiand water pump, power master
alternator, ceramic coated long tube headers and of coarse new
belts, hoses, etc throughout. Mated to the motor is a Richmond
Super T-10 4 speed transmission leading to a GM 12 bolt posi rear
end with 4.10 gears. Believe us, if you have never experienced the
sensation of moving through the gears in a vintage muscle car...you
are missing out! On those unfortunate occasions when you must slow
down the Baer 4 wheel disc brakes with slotted rotors handle it
with no problem. The suspension is all the factory set up but has
been modified with mini tubs and subframe connectors. Looking under
the car you will find a stainless tank, new stainless fuel/brake
lines, and the 2.5 inch stainless dual exhaust with dual chambered
mufflers and rear turn downs. The car sounds just like you would
hope it would!
The interior is all Black and the upholstery work entirely redone
giving it that fresh factory look. The bucket seats sit to each
side of the original style console which cleanly wraps around the
floor mounted Hurst shifter. The dash has a mostly stock appearance
but does incorporate an Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo and inset vents for
the aftermarket AC. This is not just a fancy looking stereo head
unit because it is combined with all aftermarket speakers as well
as two trunk mounted amps and subwoofers to deliver a great sound
should you want to listen to something other than the pleasing roar
from the exhaust.
There is no doubting how gorgeous this car is in person and we were
excited to realize it is just as good of a driver as well. It is
very well built and very well maintained since completed. Whatever
your ultimate goal for the car is it is sure to fit the bill and
would be a great addition to any collection.
Make it yours for $69,000.00!
