1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 383 Stroker, Turbo 400, Black on Black
Custom Build Why This Car Is Special The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is
widely regarded as the high point of the first-generation body
style. Chevrolet refined nearly everything that was rushed into
production on the 1967 launch model the dash layout was cleaner,
the front suspension geometry was improved, and the overall fit and
finish took a meaningful step forward. More than 235,000 Camaros
were built for the 1968 model year, making it one of the most
produced years of the first generation, yet well-sorted examples
like this one are increasingly difficult to find. The Super Sport
package, which this car carries, was available on 1968 Camaros as
RPO Z27. It included a blacked-out grille, special SS badging, a
domed hood, and upgraded suspension components. In 1968, the SS
package could be paired with engines ranging from a 350 small block
all the way up to the legendary 396 cubic inch big block in L35 or
L78 form. This car has moved beyond any of those factory
configurations with a modern Blueprint Engines 383 cubic inch
stroker V8 a small block built on the proven 350 architecture but
stroked to displace 383 cubic inches, extracting significantly more
torque while maintaining the physical dimensions of the original
engine bay. The VIN confirms this is a Norwood, Ohio-built sport
coupe the N plant code in the seventh position of the VIN
identifies it as such. Norwood was one of two primary Camaro
assembly plants in 1968 alongside Van Nuys, California, and
Norwood-built cars are well documented in Camaro registry history.
This is a purpose-built street machine. The builder put real money
into the drivetrain, exhaust, cooling, and braking systems. It is
not a trailer queen and it is not a ground-up restoration it is a
driver-quality custom that has been assembled with attention to the
mechanical details that actually matter when the car is moving.

Undercarriage Clean Mechanical The heart of this 1968 Chevrolet
Camaro is a Blueprint Engines 383 cubic inch stroker V8. Blueprint
Engines is a well-known Nebraska-based engine manufacturer that
builds crate engines to tight tolerances on CNC-machined
components, then dyno-tests each unit before shipping. Their 383
stroker is based on the GM small block architecture the same proven
platform that powered millions of Chevrolets from the 1950s through
the 1990s but with a longer stroke crankshaft to push displacement
from 350 to 383 cubic inches. The result is a engine that produces
substantially more torque than a stock 350 while retaining the
reliability and parts availability of the small block family.
Chrome valve covers and a chrome alternator keep the engine
compartment presentable, and the Blueprint branding on the valve
covers tells anyone who opens the hood exactly what they are
looking at. Behind the stroker sits a Turbo 400 automatic
transmission. The TH400, as it is commonly known, is a three-speed
automatic that General Motors introduced in 1964 and used across
its full-size and performance lineup for decades. It is widely
considered one of the strongest automatic transmissions ever built
for a street car, with a case-harden WeBe Autos Specializes in
