This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro coupe is a US-market example that was reportedly imported to Canada in the 1990s and used as a track car before being acquired by the seller’s uncle in 2015. It was then returned to street use and was later acquired by the seller in 2019. The car has been refinished in blue with white stripes over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a replacement 302ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes chrome 15″ Cragar wheels, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, rear traction bars, front and rear spoilers, Z/28 badging, a custom exhaust system, an Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor, a Hurst shifter, and an aftermarket head unit. This modified Camaro is now offered in Canada with British Columbia registration in the seller’s name.
The car was finished from the factory in British Green (ZZ) and was repainted in the current shade of General Motors Grotto Blue with white stripes under previous ownership. Equipment includes a color-matched front bumper, a chrome rear bumper and trim, front and rear spoilers, Z/28 badging, and a driver-side mirror. The windshield wipers have been removed, the seller notes scratches in the glass, the bright window trim and bumpers exhibit swirling in the finish, and touch-up paint has been applied to blemishes around the body.
Chrome 15″ Cragar wheels are wrapped in 205/70 BFGoodrich Advantage T/A front tires and 275/60 Pro-Trac Street Pro rear rubber. The suspension is modified with rear traction bars, and braking is handled by Wilwood four-wheel discs.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Replacement black carpeting has been installed, and additional equipment includes faux woodgrain trim accents, air vents, a Hurst shifter, and a period-style aftermarket head unit. A previously installed six-point roll cage was removed, and the rear seat, headliner, and rear parcel shelf were also replaced.
The woodgrain-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. A Mooneyes tachometer is positioned to the left of the center console, and AutoMeter gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature are located below the ashtray. The five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added by the seller; true mileage is unknown.
The replacement 302ci V8 was installed by the seller and said to be assembled with a 292-duration solid camshaft, 2.02″ intake and exhaust valves, and 10.5:1 compression. Additional equipment includes an Edelbrock AVS2 650-cfm carburetor, a polished air-filter housing, chrome valve covers, an aluminum radiator, an MSD ignition system, an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, and a custom exhaust system.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a replacement Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission, a 12-bolt rear axle with 4.10:1 gearing and an LPW Ultimate cover, and 35-spline Strange Engineering axles. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.
