Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is an exceptional all-around
build. It has an upgraded small block with fuel injection. A custom
front subframe that makes it a sharp handler. And there's plenty of
upgraded comfort with the modern leather seats, overdrive
transmission, cold-blowing A/C, and more. And it's all wrapped in a
thoughtful and sleek black and white total package.
The consignor of this car took three years to restore this
drop-top, and the proof of care is in the details. The white paint
has a metallic pearlescent that loves to radiate in the sunlight,
and that's perfect for a sunshine-friendly convertible. And the D90
SS-style tripe was painted on the front. It not only means you get
lasting quality, but also the opportunity to embed a metallic
element for added radiance. This kicks off a well-coordinated black
package with the grille, chin spoiler, and a well-fitting black
convertible top. This goes for a cleaner style with details like
deleted badging, standard flush hood, and a '67 RS taillights but a
smooth lower panel. It allows your eye to focus on details like
this high polish on the bumpers and the equally bright polished
alloys. And those wheels are also staggered at 17/18 inch
front/rear so that you can fit modern tires while also getting a
classily intimidating stance.
The black roof goes so well with the car's color theme that you'll
be happy to see a full black interior when you take the top down.
In fact, take a closer look at this custom setup. The TMI seats are
done with white contrast stitching and white backgrounds within the
accent rivets. The side panels are even done to match. So you have
the kind of fresh and well-coordinated black and white style you
find on award-winning builds. More than just look terrific, this
one was made to be a true comfortable driver. That's why those
custom seats have plenty of bolstering and are finished in supple
leather. This one has the best well-integrated upgrades. The
classic steering wheel is on a tilt column, the retro-style radio
is really a modern AM/FM digital tuner, and the stock-style climate
control sliders are your gateway to a modern R134 air conditioning
system. There's even an upgraded tach discreetly installed on the
center console in front of the horseshoe shifter. It all makes for
a car that tells you it was made to be driven.
The engine bay has a true award-worthy style with smooth inner
fenders, billet hood hinges, smooth mirrored radiator cover, and an
ultra-tidy V8 at the center. And you can really see the details of
the motor thanks to the smooth mirrored firewall. But while this
one is stunning, it also respects its history. The 327 cubic-inch
V8 was one of the most popular motors for a '68, so it's great to
have that displacement under the hood. But this powerplant is a
true powerhouse with an upgraded intake, long tube headers, and
we're even told it was bored .30 over (no current receipts on
this.) And it's topped with a FAST electronic fuel injection system
for the best in power and consistency. This is also built with the
best supporting components, like a serpentine belt system, an MSD
ignition, FAST fuel regulator, and an aluminum radiator with an
electric fan. You're going to want to put a mirror underneath this
one at the car shows just so you can feature the string custom
front subframe that features Flaming River components and
AlterKtion suspension arms. Of course, this awesome-looking setup
also makes this a great handler. And this all-around solid driver
nature is backed up by more upgrades like a four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive, power steering, power brakes, and Wilwood
four-wheel discs with drilled & slotted rotors.
This is the thoughtful custom build that you'll be proud to show
off. But if you're thinking about showcasing this custom Camaro
tomorrow, you need to call today!
