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.
The original engine is no longer present. In April 2025, the Camaro received a replacement Chevrolet Vortec V8, described by the seller as producing approximately 350 horsepower. The engine is equipped with a hydraulic roller cam, headers, and received a fresh oil and filter change at installation. Horsepower figures are seller-stated and no dyno documentation is provided. The vehicle is not numbers-matching.
Power is delivered through a 4-speed manual transmission, providing an engaging and traditional muscle-car driving experience.
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 and Quirks: As expected with a vintage Camaro, the seller has documented the following items for transparency. The high-beam foot switch works best when pressed straight. The headlight activation lever may come loose if pulled forcefully. The driver’s seat does not lock in the furthest rear position. Window crank knobs can come off if pulled too hard. The left turn signal does not always self-cancel. The driver’s seat padding fits tightly under the steering wheel. The ignition key can be removed in accessory or run position. There is minor water intrusion if the car is left out in heavy rain. Wear is 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 replacement Vortec V8, manual transmission, refreshed interior, and transparent disclosures throughout. Finished today in a dark red exterior over a black interior, 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.
