Vehicle Description
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! HIGHLIGHTS -Frame-off restoration
