Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this three-owner survivor
1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible for your consideration. This
Camaro comes in an Ermine White paint complemented by a clean black
interior with a matching black soft top. Powering this classic
Chevy is believed to be the numbers matching 327ci V8 paired to the
believed numbers matching Powerglide automatic transmission. This
Camaro comes with all of the paperwork and sales documents from
when it was purchased new in California, including the pro-tecto
plate, original purchase order, original dealer plate, frames with
paper inserts from Mission Chevrolet in California, original keys,
which have the dealer name Mission Chevrolet embossed on them, the
original mat in the trunk, and the original spare. Everything
works, including the little things like the door buzzer, the light
under the hood, and the glovebox. Just like new, this Camaro is
equipped with the optional 275hp 327ci and Powerglide transmission,
front & rear spoilers, power steering & brakes, with manual top.
Sounds and looks excellent with the Dual Exhaust & redline tires
with the rally wheels. This is a true investment, quality Rally
Sport Camaro runs and drives perfectly! Drive this one out of our
showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the
United States! Don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions
or for more information.
The first-generation Camaro debuted in September 1966. It was
produced for the 1967 to 1969 model years on a new rear-wheel-drive
GM F-body platform as a two-door 2+2 in coupe and convertible
models. The base engine was 230 cu in (3.8 L) inline-6, with a 250
cu in (4.1 L) six or 302 cu in (4.9 L), 307 cu in (5.0 L), 327 cu
in (5.4 L), 350 cu in (5.7 L), and 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8s as
options. Concerned with the runaway success of the Ford Mustang,
Chevrolet executives realized that the sporty version of their
compact rear-wheel-drive Corvair, the Monza, would not be able to
generate the sales volume of the Mustang due to limitations with
that layout (including its inability to share the whole range of
Chevrolet engines) and declining sales, partly due to the negative
publicity from Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at Any Speed. Therefore,
the Camaro was touted as having the same conventional rear-drive,
front-engine configuration as the Mustang. In addition, the Camaro
could borrow parts from the existing Chevy Nova the way the Mustang
did from the Ford Falcon. The first-generation Camaro lasted until
the 1969 model year and eventually inspired the design of the new
retro fifth-generation Camaro.
The first-generation was available in SuperSport, Rally Sport, and
beginning in December 1966 the high-performance Z/28, models. It
came with stripes on the hood and trunk (that could be optioned out
at no charge), styled rally road wheels, and a special 302 cu in
(4.9 L) V8 engine that had been developed for Trans Am series
racing. Front vent windows disappeared and safety side marker
lights appeared in 1968.
