1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z28 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS is beautifully presented in its factory-correct Matador Red finish over a red deluxe interior, complemented by its original-style Parchment vinyl roof. This example retains exceptional authenticity, including the original body Broadcast Sheet, verified and certified by Jerry McNeish, one of the foremost authorities on first-generation Camaros. Underneath, the car is equipped with its correct 4.56 posi-traction rear end, power steering, tinted glass, deluxe seat belts, center console, rear speaker and D80 spoiler package. The original sheet metal remains intact, with the factory quarter-panel stampings still visible from inside the trunk. Originally raced during its first decade, the car was later restored. Inside, it features its factory-original 6,000-rpm redline tachometer, a component exclusive to the 1968 Z/28 and L78 375hp cars. The glove box door retains the original factory tire-inflation decal, denoting the use of 15-inch wheels - another correct and rare surviving detail. A fully restored, date-correct Air Injector Reactor (A.I.R.) system has been installed. Additional documentation of authenticity includes the original VIN stamping in the cowl area and the factory Muncie speedometer cable hole in the firewall. The original brake booster, dated 102 (April 11), has been rebuilt and replated. Included with the car is the OD radiator, dated C19 68, as well as the correct backup-lamp harness plug in the trunk and the firewall configuration confirming its legitimacy as a factory Rally Sport. The car also retains its original BW-coded 12-bolt posi-traction rear axle, featuring a casting date of C28 8 and an assembly code of 0425, with the factory VIN stamped beneath it. Although the original engine was replaced less than a year after assembly, the car now carries a correct 1969 302ci "CE" warranty replacement block, a four-bolt-main casting dated D18 9. Power is delivered through a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission, and the car runs and drives impressively. Additional period options include front and rear bumper guards and wire wheel hubcaps, rounding out a well-documented Z/28 RS with numerous factory-correct components. 62,000 miles (title reads exempt).
