1968 Chevrolet Camaro V8 Sport Coupe – Dark Red Exterior / Black Interior – 4-Speed Manual

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is an authentic V8 Sport Coupe that presents as a well-sorted, driver-focused example with classic muscle-car presence and transparent documentation.

The VIN (124378L315177) confirms this Camaro was built as a V8-equipped Sport Coupe and assembled at the Van Nuys (Los Angeles), California plant. The Fisher Body cowl tag indicates a fifth-week November 1967 build, which is correct for an early 1968 model-year car.

According to the cowl tag, the Camaro was originally finished in Tuxedo Black with a black vinyl interior. At some point in its life, the car was repainted in its current dark red/burgundy exterior color, which presents well today.

Ownership History:

According to the seller, the Camaro was originally purchased new in 1969–1970 from Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose, California. The vehicle later remained with a subsequent owner before being relocated to Missouri, where it resided from approximately 1985 to 2003. The car was then brought back to California, where it has remained through today.

Engine & Drivetrain

The original engine is no longer present. In April 2025, the Camaro received a professionally installed replacement Chevrolet 350ci V8 at Jasmer Automotive of Redding, California, with documented invoices totaling $9,525.45 for parts, labor, and tax.

Documentation shows the original engine was removed after teardown revealed unusable cylinder heads and valve damage, prompting replacement rather than reuse. The installed engine is described as producing approximately 350 horsepower and features:

• Hydraulic roller camshaft
• Vortec cylinder heads
• Headers
• New clutch
• New radiator
• New starter and alternator
• New belts and hoses
• Fresh oil and filter at installation

Horsepower figures are seller-stated; no dyno documentation is provided. The vehicle is not numbers-matching, and this is fully disclosed.

Power is delivered through a 4-speed manual transmission, providing an engaging and traditional muscle-car driving experience.

Interior

The interior presents well for a driver-quality classic and benefits from recent updates, including reupholstered front and rear seats, along with new carpeting and floor mats. The cabin retains its original layout and character while offering improved comfort.

Odometer Disclosure

Prior to the engine replacement on 4/3/2025, the odometer reading was not precise. The seller estimates approximately 550,000–600,000 miles on the chassis prior to the engine replacement. Mileage should therefore be considered exempt/inaccurate, which is properly disclosed and typical for a vehicle of this age.

Known Driver Notes & Quirks

As expected with a vintage Camaro, the seller has documented the following items for transparency:

• High-beam foot switch works best when pressed straight
• Headlight activation lever may come loose if pulled forcefully
• Driver’s seat does not lock in the furthest rear position
• Window crank knobs can come off if pulled too hard
• Left turn signal does not always self-cancel
• Driver’s seat padding fits tightly under the steering wheel
• Ignition key can be removed in accessory or run position
• Minor water intrusion if left out in heavy rain
• Wear present on the driver’s door armrest

The Camaro is currently registered in California, with registration valid from 06/28/2025 through 06/28/2026.

This is an honest, driver-grade 1968 Camaro featuring a documented replacement V8, manual transmission, refreshed interior, and transparent disclosures throughout. Finished today in dark red over black, it is well suited for enjoyment as-is, weekend cruising, or continued refinement without concern over preserving a numbers-matching drivetrain.

Clean California title. Sold as-is, where-is. Inspections are welcomed and encouraged.
