"On occasion, Detroit comes up with a one year wonder that strikes
a chord with its audience. Chevrolet's first facelift of its pony
car was one of those chords, and the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396
provided the rockin' muscle car backbeat. A deft revamp of the
original 1967-68 body shell created unique styling used for just
this season. Good thing the '69s were so interesting. As it turned
out, they had to be carried into the '70 model year when production
problems delayed the introduction of the fully redesigned next
generation Camaro."Musclecars.howstuffworks.com
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS tribute with a title
verified 16,637 actual miles. This one is housing a 383ci stroker
engine that was reworked in 2025 according to our consignor.
Exterior
Now wearing a two stage version of the car's original color, you
can't call Palomino Ivory white, it really is a true iteration of
ivory, accentuated here by black features that include a nose
stripe that trails back as a diminishing side spear, complemented
by the black vinyl top and black rear fascia framing the two part
tail lights under an upright spoiler. Faux hood vents add some
sporty aggression while SS emblems pay tribute and a 383 badge
reveals the power source. Naturally, the 14-inch Chevrolet Rally
wheels are ideal in profile and mud flaps front and rear keep the
lower panels clean. Imperfections here include chipping paint on
the front SS grille emblem and a crack in the plastic surround,
some spotting on the stainless on the window sill, a slight
separation of the vinyl top at the C-pillar, a rust colored crack
and staining in the stiffening folds near the trunk, panel and door
edge chips and some bubbles, and some rock chips on the front
apron.
Interior
Standard black vinyl door panels host the window crank, arm rest,
and door opener and both present cleanly. Black vinyl also dresses
the front buckets and rear bench and all of it is in great shape
with the exception of a seam split on the passenger upper. A Grant
GT steering wheel fronts the dash and shares the column with a Sun
Super Tach somewhat obscuring our view of the standard, silver
faced gauges. A Jegs triple pack has been added below the dash and
the center stack is gussied up with a woodgrain faceplate
surrounding the vent lever panel and AM/FM/Cassette radio. More
woodgrain adorns the center console which houses a B&M shifter
over black loop carpet. The stitched black headliner is in good
shape and while up here, we note some cracks in the weatherstrip.
The trunk is clean with black carpet over the stamped steel.
Drivetrain
A bit of chrome dresses up the 383ci stroker V8 with a 4-barrel
carburetor fitted with aluminum cylinder heads and mated to a TH350
3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the 12 bolt
rear axle. Headers, power brakes and power steering are noted.
Undercarriage
Generally clean with some typical surface rust and a touch of
residual oil on the pans. The dual exhaust comes from the headers
and finds Xlerator mufflers before extending to the back and
exiting behind the rear bumper. We have power disc brakes up front
and power drums in back with suspension consisting of coil springs
up front and leaf springs in back.
Drive-Ability
A prime of the carb, a turn of the key, and we're off in this ivory
pony car, over the test loop with a nice sounding exhaust, plenty
of power on hand, straight tracking, and very fine braking. It does
everything well and all functions on board operate as expected.
While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were
working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these
functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Handsome and understated, this SS tribute is just a really nice,
solid car with plenty of get up and go.There's no pressure around
here, but we do want to let you know that 1968 Camaros are very
popular and are consistent sellers, so if you have even a small bit
of interest, we encourage swift action here. We'll keep it short so
you can go crunch some numbers! Start with 383!
