This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro was purchased new by the seller’s mother-in-law in Thousand Oaks, California and given to the seller’s wife a few years later. Power is from a 327ci V8 backed by a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, and the car is finished in Ivy Gold green metallic over a matching green vinyl interior. It was moved to San Francisco in 1991 and has been driven approximately 120k miles by the the seller’s wife. Replacement molded carpets in the original color have been added, and the seller also notes a newer battery and tires. This first-generation Camaro is now offered with California black plates, an upholstery kit, a few service records, and a clean California title.
This example comes from the second year of Camaro production and was refinished in Ivy Gold green metallic about 20 years go. Dents in the rear quarter panels and the passenger door are further documented in the gallery along with paint bubbling below the rear window. New 205/70 tires were mounted about 1,000 miles ago, and the 14″ steel wheels wear beauty rings and chrome center caps. Note the 6-digit California black plates equipped front and rear.
The brakes have been rebuilt during the seller’s wife’s ownership, and the master cylinder was also replaced. Owned in San Francisco since 1991, the car has reportedly always been garaged and was serviced at the Ellis Brooks Chevrolet dealership on Van Ness until its closure. During the past couple of years the car has seen limited use, with the seller warming it up and occasionally taking it across the Golden Gate bridge to Marin County.
The interior is upholstered in a green vinyl, and the seller notes the front and rear carpeting has been replaced. A new upholstery kit for the front seats is included along with new foam rubber, armrests, front grille, and a windshield washer pump. 41k miles are shown on the odometer, which has reportedly rolled over once.
This Camaro was ordered new with a 327ci V8 and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Over the years, the car has been serviced with a replacement radiator, water pump, carburetor, exhaust system, and point-less distributor. The battery is described to be a newer item.
The seller notes replacement front suspension bushings and newer shocks at each corner. A few additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
