Vehicle Description
Step back in time to the era of raw, untamed American muscle with
the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS, a true icon of its day. This car,
believed to be an original SS 396, is more than just a classic;
it's a testament to Chevrolet's dedication to engineering
high-performance vehicles that capture the imagination and command
attention. The particular history of this Camaro SS is as
fascinating as the car itself, with its roots tracing back to its
original sale at Moyle Chevrolet in Honeoye Falls, NY. That
connection adds to the authenticity and story that makes this car a
sought-after piece of automotive history.
Under the hood, you'll find a NOM 427 engine that underwent a
professional rebuild by Farmer Automotive in Webster, NY, back in
2002. While the engine isn't the factory original, it is a powerful
upgrade, offering a driving experience that lives up to the
Camaro's storied reputation. With less than 400 miles on it since
the rebuild, this engine is barely broken in, providing plenty of
future thrills for its next owner. Engine dyno testing has been
performed, and the paperwork is available for review, confirming
the precision and care that went into this rebuild.
This Camaro SS has had only a few fortunate owners over the years,
with the most recent having kept it since 2002, safeguarding its
legacy and ensuring it remains in excellent mechanical condition.
The car's impressive history is documented through registration and
inspection cards from previous owners, dating back to the
mid-1980s, offering a fascinating glimpse into its journey through
the decades.
The mechanical specifications on this car are equally impressive.
Equipped with power steering, power brakes, and factory disc brakes
in the front, this Camaro offers a blend of power and practicality,
making it not only a thrill on the open road but also a manageable
and enjoyable ride. The 12-bolt Posi rear further enhances its
performance, ensuring that all that power is effectively translated
into a roaring, tire-smoking experience whenever you press down on
the accelerator.
Over the years, the car has received numerous updates and repairs,
backed by a stack of receipts. These include new brakes, fuel tank,
fuel lines, and various chrome moldings, ensuring that it remains
in tip-top shape. The exhaust system, wheels, trim rings, caps, and
tires have also been refreshed, and it currently rides on Firestone
Wide Oval tires, a nod to its muscle car heritage.
Inside, this Camaro retains much of its original charm. The factory
711 Ivory (white) custom bucket seats appear mostly original,
adding to the sense of authenticity. The interior is a time
capsule, evoking the same feelings and excitement drivers would
have felt back in 1968. While it is believed the yellow paint was
refreshed in the 1980s, it still maintains a striking presence on
the road. However, time has left its mark, and the paint now shows
some flaws and chips, as visible in the extensive set of 165+
photos available directly on our website www.SJClassics.com These
imperfections only add to the car's character, serving as a
reminder of its storied past.
Built in Norwood, Ohio, this Camaro SS is a true product of
American craftsmanship. The timeless appeal of its design, combined
with the powerhouse 427 engine and its rich history, makes it the
ideal addition for any collector or enthusiast looking to own a
piece of muscle car royalty. From its iconic styling to its raw
performance, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS is more than just a car
- it's a piece of history, waiting to be experienced and cherished
once again.
