Description

The styling of the 1968 Camaro was very similar to the 1967 design. With the introduction of Astro Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system, the side vent windows were deleted. Side marker lights were added on the front and rear fenders which was a government requirement for all 68 vehicles. It also had a more pointed front grille and divided rear taillights. The front running lights (on non-RS models) were also changed from circular to oval. The big block SS models received chrome hood inserts that imitated velocity stacks.The shock absorber mounting was staggered to resolve wheel hop issues and higher performance models received multi-leaf rear springs instead of single-leaf units. A 396 cu in (6.5 L) 350 hp (261 kW) big block engine was added as an option for the SS, and the Z28 appeared in Camaro brochures. The 427 cu in V8 was not available as a Regular Production Option (RPO). Several dealers, such as Baldwin-Motion, Dana, and Yenko, offered the 427 as a dealer-installed replacement for the factory-supplied 396 cid engine.The car you see here is an original mile example that is currently showing just over 73,000 miles. This is a very solid car that was seldom driven when new. Originally purchased right here in St. Louis Missouri, the car has never left the state. In the late 90's, the new V8 was installed with the four speed manual transmission. The car was originally a four speed car. The silver paint on the car is in great condition with no major imperfections to be found. The body panels are all said to be original for the car and very solid. The door gaps, trunk gap and hood gap all look good and equal. There has been black racing stripes applied that really set the car off. Both front and rear bumpers look great with only minimal pitting and have a great shine. Inside, the interior is said to be the original standard black bucket seats and in great condition. The carpet has been replaced and looks great. The dash is solid along with the steering wheel. An updated AM/FM stereo has been installed in the dash, hidden out of view. A full set of gauges have also been installed under the dash that include temperature, oil pressure and volts. Under the hood, the 350 Cu In V8 runs great and starts with ease. Connected to the 4 speed manual transmission, the car is a blast to drive and a rocket down the road. The miles show 73,729 and is said to be actual for the car. VIN number is 123378N478355. The car is being sold on a clean Missouri title showing the current owner has had the car since March, 1996.
