This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro combines Rally Sport and Super Sport
equipment with classic small block Chevrolet power and an automatic
transmission. This car is currently finished in Red with White
accent striping and features the distinctive RS hideaway headlight
system, below bumper reverse lights, an SS hood, and Super Sport
badging.Under the hood is a V8 believed to have been rebuilt to 350
cubic inches during the car?s restoration. The engine utilizes a
period correct 1968 Chevrolet block stamped V1228ME, a code
originally associated with a 327 ci application. A partial VIN
stamped on the engine does not correspond with the Camaro?s VIN, so
the engine is not represented as numbers matching. It is paired
with a TH350 3 speed automatic transmission.Underneath, the Camaro
is equipped with a 12 bolt rear differential and 5 leaf rear spring
packs. These components, together with the extensive Rally Sport
and Super Sport equipment present on the car, are consistent with
the performance oriented configuration represented today. In the
absence of original factory documentation, however, the RS/SS
status is not represented as definitively documented.The VIN,
124378N328073, identifies the car as a 1968 Norwood built V8 Camaro
Sport Coupe.Its Fisher Body trim tag further reveals an interesting
original appearance: code Y2 Butternut Yellow with a Black vinyl
top and code 714 Black bucket seat interior.Today, the Camaro
presents in a much different Red and White color combination while
retaining the unmistakable first generation Camaro profile. Its
hideaway headlights, SS hood, 12 bolt rear, multi leaf suspension,
bucket seat interior, and small block V8 make for a well equipped
example with many of the features enthusiasts look for in a 1968
Camaro.Believed 350ci V8 built using a period-correct 1968
