other ponycar is high on the 'gotta-have' list. �€"Motor Trend,
1967-69 Chevrolet Camaro Buyer's Guide, July 2006 Anyone who's ever
owned a 1967-1969 Camaro will smile when telling you stories about
his car--and a look of wistful regret comes over his face when he
explains why he had to sell it. For many, the Camaro is the one
that got away. Not only was the body style unique, but it came to
market with something for everyone: value-minded sixes, mid-level
V-8s, and knock-your-socks-off, take-'em-to-the-track small- and
big-blocks. This is a big reason why Camaros are now so highly
sought and why the legend continues to grow. Bottom Line: One of
America's greatest ponycars ever.... Some 52 years later, the
triple-black 1968 Chevrolet Camaro offered here is a beautifully
restored and tastefully upgraded example that's still true to the
marque's heritage, distinctiveness, and inherent appeal. The car's
odometer shows just 12,000 miles since the restoration work.
Beginning under the hood, the Chevrolet performance 350 cubic-inch
V8 (bored out .030 to 355 cid) is the star of a spotless engine
bay. Chrome valve covers and other visual enhancements to the
engine are reflected in mirror-like surfaces incorporated into the
underside of the hood. Included in the powerplant's list of
upgrades are: 4-bolt main, forged pistons, 10-1 compression,
Edelbrock aluminum heads, Dart intake manifold, Holley 750
double-pumper carb, and a Moroso 7-quart oil pan. The power makes
its way to the rear wheels by way of a Muncie 4-speed manual
transmission with aluminum flywheel, Centerforce clutch and
pressure plate, a 3.73 positraction rear differential, and Moser
axle. On the basis of the engine work alone, the car could've won
its multiple awards, but the rest of the car is executed to the
same high standard. The car's undercarriage continues the spotless
theme and nicely showcases the custom exhaust headers and dual
exhaust system. (Be sure to check out the startup video on the
GarageKeptMotors site for a sampling of the engine note.) The car's
exterior features high-quality black paint evenly applied and
uniformly glossy. There are no dents or dings on the body, and the
panel fit and alignment is excellent. A black vinyl top,
lower-front-valance and rear-deck-lid spoilers, and a
cowl-induction-style hood add visual interest and display the same
flawless condition. Chrome trim, SS emblems and badging, lighting
lenses and cabin glass are all excellent. Rocket 17-inch mag-style,
5-spoke, gray-finish wheels are mounted with Kumho performance
tires; both wheels and tires are free of curb rash or other damage.
Inside the car, every surface is free of damage or even signs of
abrasion. Horizontally pleated black seat upholstery is well
maintained, as is door trim. Black carpeting is protected with
Heartbeat of America Chevrolet carpet mats. The dashboard is stock
and complete with the additions of a steering-column-mounted
AutoMeter tachometer and auxiliary water-temperature and
oil-pressure gauges mounted below the dash. A replacement wood-rim
steering wheel with a blue Chevrolet bowtie emblem center badge is
in place, as is a replacement Chevrolet-branded radio in the proper
factory location. The 4-speed shifter is mounted on the console,
which features wood-veneer trim matching that on the center stack.
Door sills show no sign of wear from inattentive passengers
dragging their feet upon entry. We expect a
