Finished in original Ash Gold with a new, correct, matching gold
interior, this Camaro Super Sport Convertible has undergone a
comprehensive restoration with a few popular mods added to enhance
drivability such as an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. It
has a Hurst shifter with the period-correct white shifter knob and
a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. During the restoration, this
car was treated to a new set of the GM chambered exhausts, an
option ordered on very few Camaros. The brilliantly-engineered
system was very efficient and needed no mufflers, and utilized two
special chambered exhaust tubes per side, which produced a very
reasonable exhaust sound level yet with a distinct and muscular
tone.
The SS models included SS emblems, a black nose stripe that runs
back to the doors, a blacked-out grille and tail recess, simulated
air intakes on the hood and multi-leaf rear springs. This car also
has the optional deck lid and chin spoilers. During its
restoration, new body chrome, stainless trim, and a a new black
convertible top were fitted.
Ordering the SS package was the only way to get a big-block engine
in the 1968 Camaro. This car's 396 engine is rated at 325 HP. The
torque is handled by a 12-bolt rear axle. Other options include
power steering and power brakes, with disc brakes in front. Brand
new 7" Rally Wheels and Gold Line tires perfectly complement the
colorway of this incredible example.
The interior features the optional walnut-grained steering wheel
and the Special Instrumentation Package, which includes the popular
tachometer/clock option in the dashboard and two rows of auxiliary
gauges on the center console. Also included is a modern digital
stereo system with retro-looking pushbuttons.
