This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro was built into an SS-clone by its previous owner in the early 2000s and is powered by its factory 327 cubic inch V8. The SS-conversion was not invasive and consists primarily of badging and a rear spoiler. The car retains working factory air conditioning and its column shifted automatic transmission. This Camaro was repainted in its original Ermine white and the interior was reupholstered in red vinyl with correct patterns. The seller has driven the car fairly minimally during his eleven year ownership, and it is sold with a clear Texas title in the seller’s name.
Ermine White is said to be the original color, though the seller is unsure if the black rallye stripes were originally optioned. The Rallye wheels are a factory-correct wheel type and wear raised white letter tires.
As part of this conversion into an SS-clone, the car received an aftermarket spoiler in the same style as the factory piece. The two-pod taillights are correct for a 1968, and this car is not equipped with the small overriders seen on some lower spec Camaros.
The interior is upholstered with correct materials, though it was originally black and white houndstooth rather than vinyl. This car was not highly optioned, and lacks a center console and console-mounted shifter. The steering wheel and radio are both original.
The gauges, interior lights, and the radio are all working correctly, and the seller had the A/C recharged recently.
The factory engine originally displaced 327 cubic inches, though the previous owner noted that it had been overbored slightly. Some aftermarket pieces are present, including the aluminum intake manifold, chrome valve covers, and aftermarket air cleaner. Other underwood hardware including the A/C compressor and fan shroud, are correct.
No major services have been required during the seller’s ownership, and the car has only driven about 500 miles since 2005. Work performed includes regular fluid changes, new starter and thermostat, a carburetor overhaul, reset timing, repaired accelerator linkage, and re-centering the steering wheel.
A photo of the block number is attached and the engine is believed to be original. The seller and the broker he purchased the car from checked the number against the selling dealer’s stamp plate.
The floors have been professionally replaced. Apart from some surface corrosion where paint has flaked away, the underside of the car appears to be in good condition with straight pinch welds.
This Camaro looks like a usable driver that could be enjoyed as-is, modified further, or taken back to a more base-model appearance thanks to the minimal nature of the SS-conversion.
