This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro coupe was acquired by the seller in 2006 and subsequently underwent a rotisserie refurbishment that involved installation of replacement body panels, an adjustable coilover suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a 350ci V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in blue with a white nose stripe and wears RS-style hideaway headlights, front and rear spoilers, and 17″ Torq Thrust–style wheels. Inside, the seats are trimmed in Parchment vinyl and accompanied by a digital media receiver and a retrofitted air conditioning system. Further equipment includes a Hurst shifter, a line lock system, power steering, and a limited-slip rear differential as well as a dual exhaust system with four-into-one headers, an X-pipe, and Magnaflow mufflers. This modified Camaro is now offered in Hamburg, New York, with a car cover, service records, spare parts, and transferable New York State registration in the seller’s name.
The car left the factory finished in Fathom Blue and was fitted with a replacement hood, tail panel, trunk pan, floors, rockers, fenders, and quarter panels prior to a repaint as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed under current ownership. A white nose stripe, SS badging, RS-style hideaway headlights, chrome bumpers, and front and rear spoilers are further details. The seller notes paint chips on the body along with wear on the vinyl stripes.
The 17″ Torq Thrust–style wheels feature polished rims and are mounted utilizing wheel locks. BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S tires wear white white decals and measure 235/40 and 275/40 out back. Tubular front control arms are paired with a four-link rear setup, and adjustable coilovers have been fitted at all four corners. The car is equipped with power steering along with an aftermarket center drag link and external cooler, while braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The front bucket seats wear replacement Parchment vinyl upholstery sourced from TMI Products, and color-coordinated upholstery extends to the rear bench. The door panels have been refinished, and a replacement headliner and carpets have been installed. Woodgrain trim accents the center stack and console, and a digital media receiver and a retrofitted air conditioning system have been added.
A split-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer accompanied by a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and an inset analog clock. Auxiliary gauges for battery voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are located ahead of a Hurst shifter, which is fitted with a controller for the line lock system. The five-digit odometer shows 10k miles, approximately 9k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 350ci V8 was installed in 2010 and is said to be fitted with a hydraulic roller camshaft along with Vortec-sourced cylinder heads. An aluminum radiator up front wears dual electric puller fans.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with a limited-slip differential and 3.73:1 gearing. The exhaust system is comprised of four-into-one headers flowing into wrapped piping, an X-pipe, and Magnaflow mufflers.
