Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is a true vintage machine that has
plenty of vintage details, including the numbers matching L48 motor
that tells us this car was most likely born a Super Sport. But the
investments in this were not just about a classic restoration. With
enhanced power, the control of a five-speed, a comfy A/C interior,
and more, you have a true classic that's truly a blast to
drive.
The paint is an instant standout. Cordovan Maroon was only offered
in 1968, and it mixes the darkness you want on a muscle car with a
hint of vibrant sophistication. There was a solid investment here
in a professional respray to give it a superior shine. This dark
red tone is also the kind of thing you want for a muscle car, and
this one has all the best 1968 performance classic pieces. This
includes the velocity stack trim in the hood, front air dam, and
full-width rear spoiler. The bright white D91 stripe is a true
hallmark of these coupes, and it draws even more attention to the
iconic Rally Sport grille with hideaway headlights. The Rally
wheels are even mounted on fresh redline tries to keep the
period-correct intimation factor going. And the bright bumpers,
right badges, and complete trim all make for a well-done package on
a classic coupe made to stand out.
The factory-correct black interior complements the exterior maroon
to give you a great look inside and out. Just like the outside, the
interior has received all the right investments so that you can
show off this full package with pride. That means the upholstery,
door panels, headliner, dash pad, and carpeting all have a nice and
dark finish. This has all the right touches you want in a classic,
like bucket seats, a center console with wood-like trim, quad
auxiliary gauges, and an SS steering wheel. The upgrades are well
integrated, including the Vintage Air air conditioning and Dakota
Digital gauge package that fits in the factory housings. And have
you counted the gears on the shifter yet?
Under the hood is the believed original 350 cubic-inch V8. This
also decodes to an ultra-desirable L48 motor used for the powerful
Super Sports. It's ready to be showcased with its freshly painted
orange block, polished valve covers, and overall clean/correct
style. As vintage as this looks, you'll appreciate how there's even
more muscle to this one.
We're told the motor has been stroked to a 383ci package, and it's
now topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. You have full
control over the strong motor and its soundtrack thanks to the
upgraded Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Add in power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and this is a well-done speedy
Camaro.
The sale comes complete with service manuals and owner's manual.
You also get spare components like the correct-style transmission,
bellhousing, and radio. It's good to note the motor tells us this
was most likely an SS from the factory, but the RS is unconfirmed
with just the right features in place. Seldom do you find an iconic
classic that has a cool mix of pedigree and fun enhancements. It's
an unbeatable combination that can be yours if you're quick enough
to grab it. Call today!!!
