This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible is finished in blue with white stripes over houndstooth upholstery and powered by a BluePrint Engines 355ci V8 paired with a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission and 3.55:1 limited-slip differential. The car was acquired by the seller in 2018, and a subsequent refurbishment completed in November 2021 included replacing the chrome trim and rear bumper and installing Wilwood front disc brakes, Hotchkis suspension components, a Vintage Air air conditioning system, and a RetroSound stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. Additional features include a white convertible soft top, 15″ Rally-style wheels, front and rear spoilers, and a cowl-incudtion hood. This Camaro convertible is offered with refurbishment records and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in blue with white stripes, and the seller states that the rear bumper, trim, weather seals, and body mounts were replaced as part of the refurbishment completed in 2021. Additional equipment includes a white convertible soft top, black boot cover, front and rear spoilers, a cowl-induction hood, halogen headlamps, and LED taillights.
The 15″ Rally-style wheels wear trim rings and BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires measuring 225/60 up front and 255/60 out back. Hotchkis suspension components include a rear performance suspension kit with rear frame stiffener and Hotchkis shocks at all four corners. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted Wilwood front disc brakes with rear drums. A full-size spare tire is stored beneath a houndstooth vinyl trunk liner.
The front bucket and rear bench seating was retrimmed in black vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts as part of the 2021 refurbishment, and replacement carpets were also installed at that time. Additional equipment includes woodgrain trim, a center console, Vintage Air air conditioning, “Camaro” embroidered floor mats, and a RetroSound Bluetooth stereo wired to speakers mounted in the dashboard and door panels. The seller states that adjustable extended seat rails have been installed to accommodate a taller driver.
The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to an Ididit tilting steering column and fronts Classic Instruments gauges consisting of a combination 140-mph speedometer and tachometer along with auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates under 300 miles completed since the refurbishment, all of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 355ci V8 was sourced from BluePrint Engines and is equipped with aluminum heads, roller rockers, an HEI ignition system, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, and a March serpentine belt conversion. Cooling is provided by an aluminum radiator assisted by a Flex-a-lite electric fan.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 3.55:1 limited-slip differential. The dual exhaust system features Headman headers, Magnaflow mufflers, and a crossover with 2.5″ tubing. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
