California born and raised! Built at the Van Nuys plant, we just
purchased it from Fullerton CA. Very, very desirable RS-SS, big
block, 4-speed, factory LeMans blue on original metal. Body off
frame restored.
EXTERIOR: Great looking car. Clean California body appears to be
original metal. The quarters are not spliced, bottom door lips are
dry, bottom of fenders are all tin. It is laser straight, the gaps
are excellent. I don't see any signs of damage, cracking or
bubbles. It's a factory LeMans code U. On the video I said it never
had a vinyl top, I was mistaken, it originally had a white top. The
metal flake is laid out very nicely, the clear coat has been
polished to a glossy finish. The stripes are painted on with proper
dimensions and are smooth. It has a cowl hood, rear spoiler, bumper
guards and the Rally Sport option. This includes the hideaway
lights, they have been updated to electric motors instead of
vacuum. The RS also includes the chrome trim on top of the doors
and the relocated reverse lights. The chrome and trim has been
replaced- the bumpers, emblems, marker lights, wheel well moldings,
stainless trim around the windows, the mirrors, door handles, gas
cap were replaced. The front and rear windows were replaced. Door
jambs are very nice, weather strips were replaced. The polished
aluminum Torque Thrust wheels add a nice touch. Tires look new.
INTERIOR: It is optioned up with the deluxe interior with
houndstooth upholstery, console, factory gauges, factory tachometer
and deluxe wheel. The seats have been reupholstered. The molded
door panels look real nice, the driver's is nicked on the edge.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is a correct 396-325 hp Camaro motor. It was
upgraded with the aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb, a big set of
stainless headers and an HEI ignition system with a billet
distributor. Now it makes at least 375 hp, probably more. Dressed
up with stock chrome valve covers and air cleaner. In front it has
chrome timing cover, alternator bracket and billet pulleys. An
aluminum water pump and an aluminum Champion radiator keep it cool.
The power brake system is all new. Power steering hoses have been
replaced. Overall the motor compartment is tidy and clean
looking.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Very impressive metal. The trunk floor and the
inner quarters have no signs of rust, splices or repairs. It does
have a matching polished Torque Thrust wheel for a spare. It does
not have a jack. Under the trunk lid is painted nicely, new weather
strip.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored. The subframe was removed and
completely restored. The entire front suspension and steering looks
new- control arms, bushings, balljoints, shocks etc. New body
bushings. Looking up at the motor it looks new. The freeze plugs
are fresh, has new high torque starter. 1968 date coded Muncie
4-speed looks fresh. It has a 12 bolt rear with 3.55 posi and
chrome cover. The fat exhaust system with stainless Flowmaster
mufflers sounds great. The fuel tank and straps look new. The
brakes have been replaced, disc in front. E-brake assembly is
hooked up. New shocks front and back. The metal looks very clean
and dry. The inner rockers and lower 1/4s are clean, drain plugs
are still in tact. Floors look original with no patches.
This Camaro RS-SS checks a lot of boxes. It has what everyone
wants!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
