"Lean, clean, long, low, with the power and performance to match
its sporty looks. Last year, this car demonstrated emphatically its
sales appeal. This year, Camaro comes on even stronger with
sensible styling refinements inside and out. It's your ticket to
even bigger conquest sales in the economy sports car market.
Ex-sell-erate in '68 with Camaro!" From the 1968 Chevrolet Dealer
Training film.
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop showing 54,929
miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a title exemption.
This may have been born a six cylinder sport coupe commuter car,
but it's been to the gym and now presents as a muscular Pro-Touring
edition with all the agility of a black mamba.
Exterior
The spectacular exterior begins with two stage Tuxedo Black paint
that reflects deeply and is contrasted by the bumpers that embrace
the ends, the trim that surrounds the cabin, and by bright bezels
that frame the two part tail lights. The fiberglass cowl hood is
just the right height, balanced by the carbon fiber spoiler in
back. There's a carbon fiber chin spoiler too, and it perfectly
mirrors the angles of the grated grille which also features just
the right amount of trim. Billet Specialties wheels occupy the
corners and look light and fast while showcasing the slotted and
drilled Wilwood brakes behind. Deep paint and great metalwork gave
us a hard time finding imperfections. In fact, the only two include
some slightly rough surface on the door edge and a slight gap issue
in the corner.
Interior
Standard black vinyl door panels greet occupants as they open the
door and both present cleanly, so we're not surprised by the tall
buckets in front which also appear in great condition and so are
the rear seats which mirror the ribbed stitching of the front. The
controls start with a sport steering wheel which shares the tilt
column with a tachometer ahead of the standard instrument cluster
in more glossy black backing, and just like the outside, it's
contrasted by silver with shiny knobs. Vent controls and an added
tri-pack of gauges fills the center stack while a B&M shifter
fills the console. Black loop carpet is clean and protected by
Camaro embroidered mats, the black headliner is in great shape, and
the trunk has a like new plaid vinyl mat.
Drivetrain
The clean party continues under the hood where we find the 427ci
V8, a GMPP ZZ427 crate engine rated at 430 horsepower, no doubt
aided by the GMPP aluminum heads it wears and the Holley Street
Avenger 4-barrel carburetor. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission
is mated to it and power is routed to the Fab 9" housing with a
Detroit Tru-Trac posi rear end and 3.55 gears. Polished parts,
headers, clean paint, and some red highlights make this spotless
engine bay show worthy and go ready!
Undercarriage
It's not just perfectly clean, it's laden with modifications meant
to boost performance and rigidity including billet canted a 4 link
suspension and Quickset Varishock coil overs. There's also a
plethora of goodies from G-Machine including front control arms,
subframe center connector, and anti-roll bar. As noted, four wheel
disc brakes are on board from Wilwood and the stainless dual
exhaust takes in a pair of MagnaFlow mufflers before the tips pass
the body to expel spent fuel from the system. Everything here is
shiny and clean.
Drive-Ability
It would be the ultimate irony if it looked this good and ran
poorly. But nothing ironic here as the crate V8 sounds great and
delivers excellent power to this clean machine and handling that's
on par with the best. In lieu of bells and whistles, we have a
clean and efficient interior and all items under our control work
as they should, and we're anxious to get this out on the showroom
floor! 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.
This is an impressive build that's whistle clean and comes to you
with a binder full of receipts and invoices for the work done. The
old adage, "you can't build it for this price" is apropos here as
this is a turnkey show stopper with gobs of power and paint that's
measured in fathoms rather than microns!
