Reserve Removed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is fully restored with SS style upgrades and a replacement 350ci small-block Chevrolet V8 running an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold, in addition to other modifications detailed below. Originally configured as a lower-trim example, the car received a respray in black and white as well as the installation of a custom cloth and vinyl houndstooth interior. The suspension was upgraded to include coil-overs, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes are present, and the transmission is a 4-speed manual with a console-mounted shifter. This first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is offered with an owner’s manual, a factory assembly instruction manual, receipts, extra parts, and on a clear Texas title in the seller’s name.

Original specifications for this Chevrolet Camaro included green paint and a six-cylinder engine backed by a 3-speed manual with a column-shift. Modified later in life with SS-style feaures, the exterior was resprayed black with white stripes. SS badging is present, the trunk lid wears an SS-style spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets exit from beneath the rear bumper.

Aftermarket five-spoke wheels are wrapped in matching Nitto tires. Suspension underpinnings have been upgraded throughout, with StrongArms hardware, coil-over dampers, and split mono-leaf springs. A power steering system is also installed, and the brakes benefit from the replacement of the master cylinder and use four-wheel discs gripped by calipers finished in red.

The interior contains front bucket seats divided by a center console and upholstery is black vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts. The seller says the driver's side door panel has been upgraded to the deluxe trim-level version, and while the passenger side remains original, matching parts are included. Items of note include a Vintage Air HVAC system, a replacement steering wheel and tilt-adjustable column, and a remote-controlled Pioneer AM/FM/Bluetooth head unit that is wired to speakers in the front kick panels. A series of photos in the carousel in the carousel show the additional parts that are included with the sale, including a set of AutoMeter gauges.

The original instrument cluster is retained in the dash and includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and an analog clock. Additional gauges are housed at the base of the instrument cluster with readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 17k miles, but total chassis mileage is unknown.

The 350ci small-block Chevrolet V8 is described as rebuilt and is dressed with chrome valve covers, air cleaner, and more. The engine is said to have been bored over during the rebuild, and fuel is delivered through an Edelbrock performance intake. Cooling is handled by electric fans and power is fed to the rear wheels by a 4-speed manual transmission.

Photos showing the underside are available in the carousel.

The sale includes an owner’s manual, an assembly instruction manual, service receipts, a set of AutoMeter gauges, and the car’s original door panels, steering column, and steering wheel.
