Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Hardtop Tribute
"The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro didn't just offer a ride; it offered an
experience-a rolling expression of personality and freedom. The
colors were not merely paint; they were a statement. In a way, the
hues chosen by the original owners have come to define individual
cars in the present day, affecting not just their aesthetic appeal
but also their collectible value. The year saw a host of new and
exciting color options that seemed to capture the spirit of the
era. From subdued tones like "Ash Gold" and "Grotto Blue" to bolder
options like "Seafrost Green" and "Matador Red," the choices were
diverse and striking." Thxurechem-paints.com
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS hardtop tribute with
a title verified 89,081 actual miles, decked out in Seafrost Green
and styling cues from the RS shelf, including the headlight covers
which never cease to be cool. Get your sea legs under you as we
dive into this one!
Exterior
The stunning light green of Chevrolet's Seafrost variety adheres to
the car with two stage application and the shine not only reflects
light, but highlights the body lines, especially the Coke bottle
shape of the fenders that rise slightly. It also accentuates the
power bulge on the hood, which is augmented by faux hood vents, one
for each cylinder flanking a stiffening rise line that runs the
length of the hood. The black nose stripe flows over like NFL nasal
strips, then flows back to a rounded point over the door. 15-inch
Chevrolet Rally wheels where faux knock off center caps with SS
logos, all wrapped in staggered size tires. Out back, a spoiler is
color keyed to the car and double red tail lights framed in black
and silver are embedded in the latch panel while the reverse lights
are in the valance. Brightwork is in great shape, including the
bumpers, and the paint is very nice. We note a few imperfections
that include a jagged crack in the paint, some bubbling, and the
occasional uneven filler, all down low on the car.
Interior
The black palette inside creates a handsome and clean cabin,
beginning with the door panels with a ribbed design over a smooth
lower, accented by silver trim. The seats wear black vinyl and both
the front buckets and rear bench are in great shape, with just
slight compression on the driver's throne. Dual gauges are in the
sightline past the 3 spoke steering wheel and show a touch of
patina, framed in glossy black while the center stack gets coverage
of faux wood film and houses the A/C panel and a more modern
AM/FM/CD Pioneer radio. The wood takes a break long enough to
feature the quad gauge set up in the middle, then returns for the
base of the horseshoe shifter that hovers over the greenish
indicator plate. Both the black carpet and black headliner are in
nice condition, and the trunk is clean and lined with a plaid vinyl
mat.
Drivetrain
We raise the hood like a green wave above us and find a clean 350ci
V8 which had its top end rebuilt 3,400 miles ago and a mild cam was
installed. You can't see that from looking at, but what you can see
are chrome valve covers, a polished alternator, and a series of
black hoses that crisscross like a rubbery octopus in the clean
engine bay, while headers provide eight legs of their own! Behind
the powerplant is a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that sends
power to the 12 bolt axle with 3.73 gears. Brakes are configured at
discs in front and drums in the rear.
Undercarriage
Clean and uniformly black underneath with no surface rust seen and
only residual oil on the pan and transmission bottom. The dual
exhaust comes from the headers and are connected at an H-pipe
before finding their way to a pair of FlowMaster mufflers, then a
discrete exit behind each back wheel. As much as people love chrome
tips, there's something subtle and cool about an exit without
fanfare. Meanwhile, suspension includes coil springs up front and
leaf springs with traction bars in the back.
Drive-Ability
The wonderful stance on this muscle car is a pleasant vision to
walk up to when it's time for a drive. This is the kind of car you
walk around before hopping in. Once we did, the 350 came to life
with a great idle and even better exhaust note. From there, the
basic dash leads the way as the car accelerates with a bit of
bravado, tracks straight, and handles well. Our functionality test
found that the tail lights and reverse lights are not working, and
the horn does not honk. Beyond that, everyone on board works as it
should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
A stunning tribute in the desirable Seafrost Green, this clean
Camaro has the right stance, some cool stripes, and of course, the
ultimately cool covered headlights, and they work! Our spidey
senses are telling us this car will definitely find a new home and
lucky for you, this isn't a bidding war where we extend the action
in two minute segments. This is one you can buy today! Just tell
Alexa to call Classic Auto Mall. Our operators are standing by.
