advertisement featuring the RS model Offered here is a fully and
professionally restored 1968 Camaro RS in Black Cherry metallic
over black leather. The mileage displayed on the odometer is
14,314, but the superb quality of the restoration-including
selective tasteful upgrades-gives the car a presence that demands
attention. The 327-4-speed manual combination makes this a special
and highly desirable muscle-car model. The quality of the exterior
Black Cherry metallic paint is uniformly smooth with a high gloss
across the entire, slightly raked body. The color flows beautifully
across the cowl-induction hood, vinyl-free roof, and rear-deck
spoiler. All surfaces-including door jambs and the underside of the
hood and trunk lid were properly painted. Chrome bumpers, window
and body trim, and grille surround retain excellent shine and
reflectivity. The black billet grille with retracting headlight
covers retains its functionality. Proper factory badging includes
the Camaro-script front emblem, 327 front-fender engine
designation, and rally-sport lettering. Cabin glass and all
lighting lenses are clear and unmarred. The race-inspired
lower-front, matte-black spoiler is a custom metal piece which
replicates front spoilers seen on other Camaros. Marquez Billet
tail lights, Ring Brothers door strikers, and Billet fuel door are
a couple of other exterior details. 5-spoke Billet Specialties
multi-piece wheels are mounted with staggered-width BFGoodrich
g-force performance tires. Red-painted brake calipers and
cross-drilled rotors can be seen through the open-wheel design.
Inside, the black-leather upholstery is the result of a full custom
installation as part of the restoration work. Seating surfaces
feature a classic-style design. Cabin carpeting is black and
protected with Camaro-branded black carpet mats in front. A black
headliner is properly installed with no sagging or wear damage. A
3-spoke, wood-rimmed sport steering wheel with brushed-metal trim
and bowtie-emblem, fronts the black dashboard with metal-trimmed
operating pedals below. The instrument cluster has been upgraded
with a full array of Auto-Meter engine-monitoring gauges as well as
speedometer and tachometer. The woodgrain-trimmed center stack
hosts the slide-lever controls for heat and ventilation above a
Delco push-button AM radio with a Pioneer audio unit mounted below
the dash. The shift lever for the four-speed manual transmission is
located on the center console. Under the hood which is supported by
billet-aluminum, complex hinges, the 327-cubic-inch V8 commands a
spotless, properly laid-out engine bay. The engine is a balanced
and blueprinted (by Paul Mecure) 327ci V8 bored .60 over and
features Dart heads, Comp Cam, a Holley Sniper EFI, BeCool
radiator, MSD Ignition components, Hooker headers, FlowMaster
mufflers, and electric exhaust cutouts. Finned, bright-metal valve
covers and an open-style air cleaner cover add visual flair. Viewed
from below, the chassis is very clean and free of damage. The
race-style exhaust headers and collectors, the full-length
dual-exhaust system with cut-outs and cross pipe, and the Detroit
Speed suspension all compete for visual attention. The Camaro's
unaltered original VIN plate remains mounted.
