For Sale at Auction: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro in Las Vegas, Nevada

Vehicle Description

Chassis No. 124378L344911
Engine No. T09IIIV 18L108891

The world was introduced to Chevrolet's answer to the Mustang in September 1966 with the newly-designed Camaro. The car proved to be more than a worthy competitor, winning 10 of 13 Trans-Am Series races during 1967. As a result, dealers struggled to keep up with the demand in their showrooms. A success out of the box, the beloved first generation received minor updates for the 1968 model year.

Built in the third week of June in 1968, this Sport Coupe left the Van Nuys, California, assembly plant in LeMans Blue over a Parchment interior with custom bucket seats. In 2008 this Camaro was the recipient of thorough restoration that transformed the car to its current presentation. The car was disassembled and assessed before the bodywork was refinished in its current 1969-model-year Daytona Yellow with a late-1968 model-year D90 Black SS stripe. Inside, the car was reupholstered with fresh Parchment seat covers and door panels, contrasted by the Black center console, carpeting, and dashboard. Powering this potent performer is an L34 350 hp Turbo-Jet 396 cu-in V8, mated to a TH400 Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission. The engine benefits from the 2008 overhaul and has completed approximately 1,000 miles since then, as reported by the current owner. To complete the refurbishment of this Camaro, original SS equipment was installed on the car which includes a special hood with simulated air intakes, a blacked-out tail panel, power front disc brakes, and SS badging on the grille, fenders, and gas cap.

Among marque enthusiasts, the first-generation Camaro is considered to be the ultimate blend of muscle and good looks, especially when equipped with the potent L34 350 hp Turbo-Jet 396 cu-in V8. This restored example, complete in eye-catching Daytona Yellow, is a husky performer, perfectly suited for cruising and enjoyment, just as the original designers intended.
