Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS was sold new from Ray Bryant
Chevrolet of Dayton, OH, in June 1968, and was purchased by the
restorer in summer 2016 and subsequently underwent a 5-year
rotisserie refurbishment. The car has been refinished in its
original and unusual color of Corvette Bronze over a reupholstered
black vinyl interior. Power is provided by a matching-numbers 302ci
V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Factory-loaded
with optional equipment, including Rally Sport exterior trim, a
center console with auxiliary gauges, Tic-Toc-Tach, power steering,
power brakes, a simulated wood steering wheel, Delco AM radio and
DF-coded Rally wheels wrapped in E70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread GT
tires. This Z/28 RS comes with manufacturer's literature,
dealership warranty paperwork from 1968, Protect-O-Plate,
documentation from original ownership, two sets of original keys
and knockouts, NCRS shipping data report, Jerry MacNeish Appraisal
Certificate and Certificate of Authenticity, original Window
Sticker remake, and refurbishment records with photos. The body was
refinished in its factory Corvette Bronze (O) with Z/28 black
striping during the body-off rotisserie refurbishment performed by
Renown Auto Restoration of San Antonio, TX. The Rally Sport package
includes an RS grille with vacuum-operated headlight doors, bright
rocker panels and wheel-well moldings, backup lamps below the rear
bumper, and RS badging. Additional exterior features include chrome
bumpers, chrome bumper guards, and front and rear spoilers. The
dual front bucket seats and rear bench were reupholstered in
correct black vinyl (712) with a matching dashboard, door panels,
headliner and carpeting. Interior materials were sourced from
Legendary Auto Interiors of Newark, NY. The restored console and
gauge stack feature wood-grain trim, and additional amenities
include lap belts all around, a Delco AM radio that has been
modified for AM/FM stereo capability with an added rear speaker. A
simulated-wood-grain steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer,
an optional Tic-Toc-Tach 7,000-rpm tachometer with a working inset
clock and auxiliary gauges mounted in the center console. This is
an extremely well-documented Z/28 RS that has been professionally
authenticated by Jerry MacNeish and NCRS. MacNeish has stated in
his report the car could make a nice entry into the "Legends
Certification" class at the Camaro Nationals.
