The Camaro received minor changes for its second year with the
grille taking on a more horizontal look and the vent windows were
dropped while flow through ventilation was added. 235,147 Camaros
were built in 1968 with nearly 17,000 V8 convertibles and another
12,000 six cylinder topless cars. That's a lot of cars in just the
second year of production indicating Chevrolet's confidence and the
public's positive reaction. Interestingly, the convertible tops
were available in the same color options as the vinyl tops; white,
black, and blue.
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible with a title
verified 159,193 actual miles. Not only does this car wear a
desirable color and have a convertible top, but it retains its
numbers matching 327ci V8 under the hood.
Exterior
A fantastic blacked out horizontal ribbed front grille leads the
way with outboard exposed headlights, inboard markers and a small
bowtie in the center. The two stage Butternut Yellow paint is
dressed with a black nose stripe with no break for an engine call
out. Simple shiny bumpers are on and looking great as well as other
attachments in the shine department including a single side view
mirror, wipers and window trimmings, door trim, door handles and
epic faux vents on the hood. On top is a black canvas top which has
a plastic rear window with some hazing and keeping with the pony
car theme, a short trunk deck cascades to the rear fascia which
sports chrome bezels and inset tail lights flanking the black fuel
filler cap under a spoiler. 14-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels where
225/70R14 tires with a late 2020 date code. Imperfections include
various inclusions in the paint, touched up chips, orange peel
surface, bubbles on horizontal areas and low panels, tears in the
top where the rail bends, evidence of filler, and door edge
chips.
Interior
1968 goodness here begins with the black vinyl door panels, smooth
sections sandwiching the stitch patterned center that holds the
emblem and hardware. From there, the monochromatic interior brings
in white vinyl bucket seats and a red rear bench, all in very nice
shape with some wear on the piping of the passenger seat. Moving to
the dash, a 3 spoke steering wheel fronts a duo of the deep set
round gauges within black bezels in a steeply angled dash with
round, chrome vents. The center portion of the dash is adorned with
a simulated wood faceplate that surrounds the vent panel and
AM/FM/Cassette radio. The faux forest influence continues on the
center console with a bit darker wood where a Hurst shifter is
provided to the lucky driver of this pony car, and it's all in very
nice condition. We have black carpet on the floor and the trunk
holds a period correct plaid mat which shows some age and there is
surface rust and a repair on the stamped steel below it.
Drivetrain
Cleanly presented under the hood is the numbers matching 327ci V8,
rated at 210 horsepower and fueled via a Holley 4-barrel
carburetor. Behind it, a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission
from 1964/65, which transfers power to the 10 bolt rear axle. The
car has power brakes, power steering, and headers.
Undercarriage
Generally clean underneath with minimal surface rust and only
residual oil about. We do note the trunk floor repair visible
underneath which appears to be a solid repair. Dual exhaust runs
through Super Turbo mufflers and exits discreetly in back. Power
disc brakes are up front with power drums in back and suspension is
the standard set up of front coil springs and rear leaf
springs.
Drive-Ability
She starts right up and we roll the original 327 around the test
loop where it proves to have adequate power and the car provides
straight tracking and a smooth ride, helped in part by the 70
series sidewalls. We do note the clutch shudders a bit, but all
functional items are working as they should. 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.
Easily among the top, (and quickest), sellers here at Classic Auto
Mall, 1968 Camaros are beloved around the world and especially
right here the U, S and A! They are forever classic and highly
desirable and this is a fine example with its numbers matching
engine and Butternut paint. When the sun goes up, the top comes
down, and this becomes a head turning cruiser.
