Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 396 is an all-red coupe with its
numbers-matching motor and four-speed. And if that wasn't
tantalizing enough, you're going to see investments to make it
shine brighter, feel more comfortable, and be more powerful. So
it's the ideal mix of history with all the right well-integrated
upgrades.
This was born a Matador Red coupe, which is always a desirable
color for a hot big block Camaro. It only gets better as you see
this one has been given the proper attention it deserves. So the
red has a nice gloss and shine from a more modern clearcoat respray
later in life. It helps with the aggressive attitude that's
furthered by sporty SS details, like the correct D90 stinger stripe
painted on top, the faux velocity stakes in the hood, and the
full-width rear spoiler. But of course, the piece that you'll love
the most is the Rally Sport grille with hideaway headlights. And
this blacked-out front end even coordinates with pieces like the
front chin spoiler and deeply tinted windows. This coupe really is
a thoughtful total package. Even the chrome on the bumpers and nice
brightwork are amplified by the set of 18-inch polished American
Racing alloys.
Because the exterior red was stunning, you'll love when the theme
continues inside. Not only is this the ideal color, but also this
was born with the premium interior. So you get nice extra touches
like the better door panels with full armrest and insignia trim
seats. And since there was a solid investment in here, you really
get to show off this full premium interior with pride. They aimed
to keep a very stock style, and so even the upgrades were well
integrated. That's why the AM/FM digital tuner is a retro-style
unit. The air conditioning even has the classic slider look, and it
likely only needs a recharge of modern R134a to blow ideally cold.
Camaros are very much built for the driver, and that's why you get
best features like front bucket seats, a center console in-between,
and a grippy SS steering wheel. The classic dual pod gauge panel
now has a full set of readouts from Classic Instruments, and the
added tach goes quite well with the Hurst shifter.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 396 cubic-inch V8. While
originality is always great to have, big block machines are also
great at providing big power. So they built on that history with a
performance package that's also sharp and shiny enough to be ready
for the car show. This has upgraded power with a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and Edelbrock Performer
RPM aluminum heads. It's supported by all the right pieces,
including a March serpentine belt system, MSD Pro Billet
distributor, cast finned valve covers, and an aluminum radiator
with dual electric fans. The mighty V8 exhales with added power and
authority as Patriot ceramic coated headers feed the dual exhaust.
And the numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission means
you're in complete control of the power and thunder this motor
produces. And speaking of control, power steering, modern sport
tires, and upgraded four-wheel power disc brakes really let you
enjoy this powerful Camaro to the fullest.
This is the classic big block Chevy that maximizes its best
features with solid investments for both power and poise. So if you
want a classic that truly offers all the best, call today!
