For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro in Ft Worth, Texas

While there is something to be said for an original car, sometimes when we come across a nicely-restored car that utilizes a bit of modern technology, it's hard to argue that the marriage of past and present isn't a better package. Such is the case with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 454 Tribute. Fully repainted in a Royal Blue with a complementary black hood stripe, this first-gen Camaro may not have been born an SS, but it certainly lives up to the Super Sport ethos in more ways than one.

Inside, we find a fully restored black vinyl interior. Laid out in factory-correct fashion, this interior has been updated with a color change to better match the head-turning exterior. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a padded Grant GT steering wheel sits directly ahead of an aftermarket Autometer 8,000 rpm tachometer mounted to the steering column. A pair of auxiliary gauges sits under the dashboard, joined by a kill switch. Sliding HVAC controls keep things simple, while a Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette player provides more soundtrack options than the original unit it replaces.

Under the hood, we find a massive 454 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. Stock heads get Mickey Thompson valve covers, while a single four-barrel Demon carburetor feeds into a Winter's intake manifold. Spent gases are expelled through a set of long-tube Hooker headers before exiting through a pair of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. Power is routed through a five-speed manual transmission before being sent to the 12-bolt rear end, which transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of polished 18-inch Coys shod in wide 275/40ZR-18 Sumitomo rubber. At the same time, a staggered set of 17-inch wheels is wrapped in narrower 235/45ZR-17 tires, giving this restomod a proper muscle car stance from any angle.
