'gotta-have' list. -Motor Trend Buyer's Guide, July 2006 The Motor
Trend writers explained: 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. The '68 Camaro
Convertible offered here checks many of the boxes most collectors
look for these days. It's big block. It's been nicely refreshed and
updated without undoing the character that makes a '68 Camaro
special. And of course, it's a convertible. The exterior repaint in
turquoise blue (one of the colors offered from the Norwood, Ohio
assembly plant where the car was built) shows beautifully across
all body surfaces, including the engine compartment. The gloss and
smoothness of the paintwork speaks to a professional application.
While not original to the car, the Z28 white stripes are still
period-correct, and they've been perfectly applied to both the hood
and trunk lid including the lip spoiler. The look is both stylish
and classic. All appropriate emblems and badging are in place and
properly located. This includes the added 396 and SS badging. The
white-fabric convertible top is in pristine condition. Cabin glass
and lighting lenses are clear and undamaged. Styled steel wheels
with chrome trim rings and Chevrolet Motor Division center caps are
mounted with Cooper Cobra GTS raised-white-letter performance tires
for a period-correct look. The car's black interior theme is black.
The color is featured on the bucket seats vinyl upholstery, the
cabin floor carpeting, and across the dash. Woodgrain trim enhances
the console and the center-dash area. A chrome-with-wood-rim Camaro
branded steering wheel frames the instruments. A tachometer is
mounted below the dash, while three auxiliary engine-monitoring
gauges (for electrical output, oil pressure, and water temperature)
have been added to the console. All the added gauges are lit in
red. A Jensen audio unit has been mounted in the factory radio
location. As to condition, the interior shows very well with only
very light patina evident on some surfaces. Under the hood, those
exterior 396 badges on the front fenders are shown to speak the
truth. A very well turned-out 396 cubic-inch Chevrolet performance
engine is in place. Topped with a chrome air cleaner (also
advertising the engine displacement and 350 horsepower with correct
labels), chrome valve covers, performance exhaust headers, and the
correct red Chevrolet engine-block paint. (A sampling of the
intoxicating 396's engine note can be found in the video link.) The
engine compartment has been simplified for a spotless,
well-organized look overall, again showcasing the turquoise body
paint in perfect condition. The car's original cowl-mounted data
tag is in place. Viewed from below, the car's chassis is free of
any sign of damage from too-aggressive driving styles. The full
dual exhaust (with crossover) emanating from the impressive
performance exhaust headers is neither creased nor otherwise
damaged. A rust-inhibiting coating covers most underbody metal
surfaces. No body-panel rust is noted. The condition of this
beautiful '68 Camaro Convertible is sh
