Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this striking
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 Tribute.Despite the buzz around
skyrocketing values and garage queen status, not every
first-generation Camaro is locked away as untouchable treasure.
These cars remain some of the most enjoyable classics to own,
drive, and modify - with unmatched parts support and a passionate
community behind them. The Camaro's iconic presence turns heads
everywhere it goes, and few muscle cars strike a balance between
performance and style quite like this one.This 1968 SS396 tribute
was built for the road. Featuring a big block V8, 4-speed manual
transmission, and a tasteful restoration, this car blends raw power
with refined craftsmanship. While its exact SS lineage can't be
confirmed, what matters is how convincingly and confidently it
delivers that SS396 experience today.Originally Butternut Yellow,
this car now gleams in an electric blue finish - somewhere between
Fathom Blue and Lemans Blue - accented by crisp white SS stripes
under the clearcoat. The bodywork is clean and eye catching,
recently wet-sanded and polished to a deep, high-gloss shine. Panel
fit is strong, and the car's full disassembly during paint is
evident in the overall quality of the finish.The chrome and
stainless trim are in great shape, with well-fitted simulated hood
vents and polished drip rails. The emblems, lenses, and glass all
present beautifully. This isn't just a repaint - it's a restoration
that respects the Camaro's design and takes it to the next
level.Under the hood is a well-built big block V8 dressed in L78
SS396 style, combining period-correct aesthetics with modern street
manners. A hydraulic cam helps ensure smooth starts, easy idle, and
strong, reliable power on pump gas. It's the kind of setup that
lets you enjoy muscle car thrills without the hassle.Power is sent
through a 4-speed manual transmission topped with a Hurst shifter
for that unmistakable old-school mechanical feel. Out back, a tough
12-bolt rear end houses fresh 3.55 gears and an Eaton limited-slip
differential, offering a strong balance of acceleration and highway
cruising comfort.The chassis has been thoroughly sorted. All major
mechanical systems - suspension, brakes, lines, and exhaust - have
been rebuilt or replaced. While it wasn't over-restored underneath,
everything is clean and road-ready. A new exhaust system delivers
an aggressive tone without being overbearing. new tires wrap
reproduction Rallye wheels, giving it the vintage look with fresh
rubber.Inside, the black vinyl bucket seat interior is fully
restored and tastefully updated with a factory-style center console
featuring four integrated gauges, and a Tik-Tok Tachometer adds
both function and retro flair. The upholstery, headliner, carpet,
and dash all present beautifully, and the overall cockpit feel is
focused and driver-oriented - just the way it should be.This Camaro
hits all the right notes: big block power, a 4-speed you shift
yourself, killer looks, and real drivability. It's a car you won't
be afraid to put on the road, and one that will reward you every
time you do. Classic muscle should be experienced, not just
admired.Don't miss your chance to own this beautifully built 1968
