Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Camaro Hardtop
"Lean, clean, long, low, with the power and performance to match
its sporty looks. Last year, this car demonstrated emphatically its
sales appeal. This year, Camaro comes on even stronger with
sensible styling refinements inside and out. It's your ticket to
even bigger conquest sales in the economy sports car market.
Ex-sell-erate in '68 with Camaro!" From the 1968 Chevrolet Dealer
Training film.
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop showing 40,827
mile, but the true miles are unknown. This is a fantastic build
with miles deep paint, a 396ci V8 with aluminum heads, and a set of
17-inch Ion wheels. If it follows the trend of previous nice '68's
at the mall, and it will, it likely won't be here long enough to
collect dust.
Exterior
The spectacular exterior begins with two stage Tuxedo Black paint
that reflects deeply and is free of mars or swirls while a pair of
pewter stripes begin at the nose, onto the cowl hood, skipping the
roof but returning on the trunk lid, up and over the spoiler.
Chrome bumpers hug the ends of the car and wrap around, almost
touching the side markers which were new for '68. In back, two lens
tail lights split the red and reverse light and each is framed in a
polished bezel. 17-inch Ion wheels pull the colors together with
thin strips of black on polished spokes and each is wrapped in
225/50R17 tires. The metalwork, emblems, trim, and paint is
excellent and we could find no exterior imperfections.
Interior
The show stopping beauty continues on the inside where leather and
suede custom door panels in alternating gray and a tan accent
stripe cleanly dress the doors and are adorned with billet like
custom handles. The custom upholstery on the bucket seats matches
the doors with suede inserts and embroidered Camaro on the seat
backs and the pattern of gray on gray with tan piping is mirrored
in the back seat, all in amazing condition and the rear side walls
simply a continuation of the door material configuration. A leather
wrapped steering wheel fronts the stock instrument cluster where
vents and metal knobs surround the two coves that are front and
center. To the right, vent levers reside in a panel over the retro
stereo, now AM/FM with CD player. Then the sport gauge package
we've come to love, four square gauges canted upward for easy
viewing in front of the horseshoe shifter on a gray floor column
with cradle for seatbelts. Low pile gray carpet covers the floor,
topped by Camaro branded rubber mats and the trunk is a work of
art, with leather covering the boxes for the CD changer and
storage.
Drivetrain
The show must go on, and so it does with a spotless and chrome
filled 396ci V8 with Winters Foundry L89 aluminum heads and intake
under a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. An upgraded aluminum radiator
keeps it cool and a TH400 3-speed automatic sets it in motion,
transferring power to the 10 bolt rear with 3.23 gears and
Positraction. To temper all this fun, power disc brakes are
supplied to all four wheels.
Undercarriage
With a topside so spectacular, surely the underside will be clean
too, right? Fact check, true! It is indeed amazingly clean
underneath where Hedman headers send dual exhaust through
FlowMaster mufflers, painted black, then the pipes arch over the
rear axle and its polished differential cover, finally terminating
modestly before the valence. Suspension consists of coil springs up
front and leaf springs in the back. The undercarriage is rust free,
but we do note some oil on the pan and some of it has drifted
rearward.
Drive-Ability
We know it's got show, but does it have go? Yes, indeed, the 396
delivers in spades and the car does everything well and sounds darn
good doing it. Power steering and power brakes improve the driving
experience, and the car has plenty of power on hand and our
colleagues tell us the wheels look fantastic when they're spinning.
We find all items working on this well sorted Camaro, and we roll
this inky black beauty back to the mall. 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.
This is a stand out Camaro where no expense was spared to build a
spectacular looking and entirely capable muscle car. Two stage
paint and 17-inch wheels give this car the contemporary look
everyone is looking for and the interior is definitely an upgrade
from the slippery factory vinyl, and just a dream to look at. Well,
this is your wake up call. Now it's your turn to call.
