Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS underwent a 4-year rotisserie
restoration with the rebuilt high-output 302ci V8 engine, along
with the Muncie 4-speed close-ratio transmission and heavy-duty
12-bolt posi-traction rear axle. It is equipped with chromed
long-tube headers, which were originally shipped in the trunk of
the Z/28s due to emissions regulations at the time, and the exhaust
flows through Walker Advantage full-flow mufflers. The oil has been
changed and it has received fresh coolant, GM coolant hoses, new
belts and new ignition system parts, including the entire
distributor, cap, rotor, points, condenser, coil and ignition wires
that are OEM New Old Stock. The front suspension has been upgraded
to tubular upper and lower control arms for improved handling.
Further upgrades include sport Prothane greaseable suspension
bushings in the front and rear, as well as Prothane body mounts. To
complete the handling package, adjustable aluminum dampening shocks
were also installed. The rear suspension still retains the five
leaf springs and staggered shock absorbers specific to the Z/28,
which first appeared on the '68 models to neutralize wheel hop
problems associated with 1967 models. The brake system received a
complete overhaul in 2021, including new wheel cylinders, master
cylinder, calipers, pressure balance valves, pads, linings and
fluid. The headlight doors have been upgraded to Detroit Speed
electric actuators. The dash, door panels and center console are
original to the car, with the seats having been reupholstered and
the carpets, headliner and parcel shelf replaced with OEM-spec
components. This car also features a passenger-side grab handle
above the glovebox and was part of the Special Interior Group of
1968 Camaros. It was ordered without a radio. 1968 Z/28s were all
powered by a solid-lifter 302ci V8 engine rated at 290hp at 5,800
rpm but was generally known to produce in excess of 400hp and was
capable of 7,000+ rpm. They were also all equipped with the 4-speed
manual Muncie close-ratio transmission. The fiberglass spoiler was
a separate option as RPO-D80 and is present on this car. **TITLE IN
