This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was built at the Van Nuys, California plant and delivered new to Kenneth Chevrolet of Hawthorne, California. It was acquired by the seller on BaT in March 2022. Finished in LeMans Blue over blue vinyl, the car is powered by a 302ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear axle. Equipment includes the Rally Sport package, a black vinyl roof, 15″ Rally wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, and a Hurst shifter. This Camaro Z/28 is now offered with a 1968 dealer purchase order, a Protect-o-Plate, a black California license plate and registration, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in Le Mans Blue with white stripes and a black vinyl roof. Hideaway headlights, a driver-side mirror, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets are equipped.
The 15″ Rally wheels are mounted with F70-15 Goodyear Polyglas tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in blue vinyl. Interior appointments include lap belts, a Hurst shift lever, a Delcod radio, and a heater. Tape covers portions of the driver’s seat-bottom upholstery.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a fuel-level gauge for fuel level. Auxiliary readouts are mounted ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership.
The 302ci Z28 V8 was factory rated at 290 horsepower and is equipped with a chrome air cleaner assembly and valve covers. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential.
The engine stamping is shown above. The MO suffix corresponds with a 290-horsepower, 302ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
