For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro in Thousand Oaks, California

THE STORY Chevrolet's first-generation Camaro continues to stand as one of the definitive sporty cars of the 1960s. This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was a frame-off restoration and retro-focused custom build by Chris Holstrom Concepts. Powering this Camaro is a rebuilt 427 big-block V-8 engine, with the original, matching-numbers 327 CI V-8 engine included (shipping can be arranged). Raising the 427's output are Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads and a matching intake manifold. Power delivery is via a Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission, a custom 9-inch Ford rear end with 3.73 gears, and a set of 17-inch Rally-style wheels. Retaining the Camaro's original doors, fenders and quarter panels, the restoration included media-blasting with walnut shells and powder coating of the subframe. Updated with a new hood, the Camaro's many other highlights include a new convertible top with a new plastic rear window, new windshield and side glass, updated interior door, side panels and carpet, new Dakota Digital gauges, power steering, an upgraded suspension with Hotchkis components, and rechromed bumpers. With a binder available detailing every component completed, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is ready to enjoy!
