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.This '68 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible comes from a long ownership by a Classic Car Club President. Having owned the car since April of 1982, it has recently undergone a fresh paint job in dark blue with a white top. The motor is the correct, numbers matching 327 V8 that has undergone a rebuild two years ago that included new pistons, rings, bearings, valves, a mild cam, double hump heads and a new two barrel carb. The paint on the car is in great condition with no notable imperfections. The white convertible top is power and works with no problems. There are two cracks to the rear plastic window. There is some minor staining to the top but overall it is in very good condition. The front and rear bumpers are in good condition and do show some minor pitting and scratches. These both appears to be original for the car. Inside, the black interior is the correct color and style for the car. It is newer and in very good condition with no major wear to be found. The seats have been reupholstered in the correct style and material and the carpet is new. The dash does have a carpeted pad but is good underneath with no cracks. Gauges are in good working order as are the lights. Under the hood, the correct, numbers matching 327 V8 runs great and has gone through a rebuild around 2 years ago. We don't have receipts for this rebuild. Connected to the power glide transmission, the car goes down the road with no problems. The engine compartment has been nicely painted and detailed and looks great. In the trunk you will find the correct style matting as well as a bias ply spare. The VIN number is 124678N440795 and the current mileage shows 7,463.The car is being sold on a clean title showing the previous owner has had the car since April of 1982.
