This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible was purchased by the seller in 1990 and was subsequently refurbished. Power is provided by a 383ci V8 paired with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, and the car is finished in silver with black stripes over black vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a black soft top, a cowl-induction hood, a trunk-mounted spoiler, a push-button radio, lap belts, and 15″ rally-style wheels. This first-generation Camaro convertible was first listed on BaT in September 2022 and is now offered with New York registration.
The car left the factory finished in Matador Red and was refinished in its current shade of silver with black stripes following the repair of body panels in 2004. Equipment includes a replacement power-operated black soft top, a cowl-induction hood, an aftermarket passenger side mirror, a trunk-mounted spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers. The seller notes that LED bulbs are installed in the headlights and weather stripping and the convertible hydraulic hoses were replaced during the refurbishment.
Rally-style 15″ wheels wear trim rings and are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A white letter tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. Aftermarket subframe connectors were reportedly added as part of the refurbishment.
The cabin features front bucket seats fitted with headrests and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl. The seller notes that door panels produced by Al Knoch Interiors were installed as part of the refurbishment. Appointments include a heater, a push-button radio, a lockable glove box, and front lap belts. Red paint is visible inside the glove box.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 82k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. Red paint is showing through the black finish of the steering wheel. The seller notes that the odometer does not work.
The replacement small block V8 was rebuilt to displace 383ci in 2005 and is equipped with a Holley carburetor, Comp Cams camshaft, polished valve covers, aftermarket exhaust headers, an MSD distributor, and a pressure gauge. The oil was changed in 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission reportedly sourced from a 1996 Pontiac Firebird, a custom driveshaft, and a 10-bolt 4.56 limited-slip differential. The flywheel and clutch were replaced in 2005.
