Vehicle Description
Chevrolet threw the Camaro out there in September 1966, as it
wanted a slice of the new Pony Car market that Ford created with
the Mustang. The Bowtie couldn't let the Blue Oval have all the
fun. The rivalry between the two cars continues to this day, with
the Camaro and Mustang still selling strong. What we've got here is
a classic 68 Camaro that's undergone some resto-modding. Say hello
to this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Restomod up for sale, and it could
be yours if you choose. Do you? Dressed in a menacing black coat of
reportedly new paint with gray detailing at the front, this 1968
Chevrolet Camaro SS Restomod also bears 427 badging, telling us it
may have been a 427 car at the start. That's not true anymore, but
we will reveal its underhood secrets in the next section. Other
details of note include the modern headlamp clusters and revamped
rear lighting clusters too. The eagle-eyed will note a kill switch
on the rear valance alongside the fuel filler cap, highlighting
that this Camaro can be tracked if desired. The lovely period-style
wheels reportedly wear new tires of a suitably chunky disposition
after all, Sixties muscle cars look best with fat rubber on them,
waiting to be burnt off in billowing clouds of smoke by a grunty
V8. Inside, you'll find a roll cage, Sparco racing seats with
four-point harnesses, and a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel.
Yes, this Camaro is a race machine. The pistol-grip shifter for the
automatic transmission further reinforces the notion of slamming it
into D and mashing the gas pedal into the firewall. The dash is
said to be new, as is the carpeting. While we've told you that this
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Restomod is a race machine on the inside,
prepare for some surprise creature comforts. A new air conditioning
unit is reported to help keep you cool, plus a new audio system
with Bluetooth capabilities for some tunes of your choice. There's
even a custom center console box with two cupholders. This appears
to be a race car that you can, whisper it, daily drive!
Engine
Now for the truly juicy news, and that's the 502ci big-block V8
lurking under the hood of this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Restomod.
We told you the 427 was a misnomer, but did you guess it would be
this large of a misnomer? The engine reportedly has less than 2,500
miles on it, and sends power to the rear wheels via a new Turbo 400
automatic transmission.
