For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a mean-looking machine that takes the iconic coupe you love and upgrades it to a 500 hp brawler. So while the price is already tempting on a classic like this, it's what's beneath the skin that's irresistible.

The '68 Camaro has an iconic look known for its intimidation factor, and this one plays into that feeling. After all, it was upgraded with the best of the Super Sport elements, like the front air dam, blackout SS grille, and D80 rear spoiler. Plus, you'll discover it really earns the power bulge of the cowl hood. The black racing stripes are a terrific pairing painted on top of the orange body. The full paint package was an upgrade later in life, and it retains quite a nice gloss and shine. All the correct brightwork is in place, and the whole package doesn't seem to stray too far from the vintage style we love. Even the addition of REV alloy wheels follow the classic torque thrust look. But they are now a larger 17-inch size that allow you to fit better performance tires.

Where the exterior is orange with black accents, the color theme is switched for the interior. A smooth dash, good door cards, and nice carpeting make this look well-done. We especially like the added flair of the black upholstery with the custom orange piping. Plus, the front seats are a great upgrade not only for this SS stitching, but also because the high-back units are fully adjustable and have plenty of bolstering. The performance attitude continues with upgrades like the Grant GT sports steering wheel, SunPro gauge trio, and B&M shifter. There's an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input and upgraded speakers for better driving music, but really, we bet your favorite soundtrack begins in the engine bay.

Under the hood is a mean-looking motor, and the callouts on the valve covers clue you in that this is an impressive build. It's a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor done by the masters at Patriot Performance. They start with a Dart block with four-bolt main, and then they enhance and fortify it with an Eagle rotating assembly, Eagle crankshaft, Clevite bearings, Howards hydraulic roller camshaft, Patriot heads, and forged flat-top pistons. It inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Patriot performance intake. This exhales with power and authority as long tube headers feed the dual exhaust. It's even supported by the right pieces, like an aluminum high-volume water pump, MSD Streetfire distributor, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The full package is built to deliver over 500 horsepower! That's why you also have performance upgrades, like four-wheel disc brakes and grippy ZR-rated tires. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission and power steering make it a good all-around driver.

This is the iconic Camaro that has an awesomely powerful heart. So at a price like this, you know this deal won't stay idle for long. Call today!!!
