Vehicle Description
The right colors; the right enhanced V8 crate motor; and the right
price... This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS tribute gets a lot of things
right from the first moment you look at it, but as you get closer
for the details, it gets even better.
Take a good look at these pictures, a Camaro this straight and
clean shows that it has been carefully maintained for nearly half a
century. But what really set it apart are the upgrades that make it
a showstopper without losing its original Camaro spirit. This
starts with the paint where the Teal Blue was swapped for a factory
shade of LeMans Blue. The color lives up to its race-bred name with
super slick gloss and shine, plus the white SS stripes help add to
this sporty distinction. The blacked-out SS grille, front chin
spoiler, cowl hood, and D80 rear spoiler are all great looking
muscle car upgrades. The original optional Rally wheels were
upgraded to a slightly larger 15-inch set from a Z28 to better fill
out the wheel well. All of this makes for a Camaro that carries all
of the best elements from '68.
The interior is both highly original and very interesting. Usually
a car like this would have a black interior, but this one is quite
distinctive with the bucket seats that are still in their original
blue vinyl. The color matches the door panels, carpeting,
headliner, and dash. All of this is in remarkable condition, with
plenty of bright accents are all in place. This includes the
correct Camaro nameplates on the doors and the lockable glovebox -
did you also happen to notice Chip Foose and Robin Zander (lead
singer of Cheap Trick) signed the lid?! A welcomed introduction for
the 1968 model year was the Astro Ventilation system. It not only
helped get more fresh air into the car, but it also eliminated the
need for vent windows in the front. So unlike the first year Camaro
you now have the true pillarless look with all the windows rolled
down. You'll slip behind the original three-spoke steering wheel
and look out over the cool dual pod gauge design. While this
factory setup is always desirably cool, there's a pair of auxiliary
gauges, which tells you there's something good going on in the
engine bay.
Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch V8 looking great
with plenty of new and polished components. While that engine was
available in 1968, it was never as powerful as this. You're looking
at 330 hp crate motor that has been further enhanced with go-fast
goodies such as Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and long tube performance headers. You'll love the sound it
makes when the dual exhaust barks at fire up, and this one does it
reliable thanks to less than 1,110 miles on the motor. It's built
to make the most out of its power thanks to a Powerglide
transmission that's been enhanced with a 2300 RPM stall and shift
kit. No matter if you're doing the stoplight grand prix or just
weekend cruising, this Camaro feels great thanks to the upgraded
independent front suspension. Add in the power, steering, front
disc brakes, and the grip of BF Goodrich tires, and this is a great
anytime American classic.
This Camaro has been a labor of love, and there's even $17K in
build receipts to prove it. These are all the best elements of a
'68 with some serious horsepower backing it all up. A well-built
classic like this doesn't last long in out showroom. Call
