THE FIRST-GENERATION CAMARO
The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro marked the debut of an American automotive legend. Introduced in response to the Ford Mustang, the Camaro embodied the spirit of the muscle car era. Designed to appeal to a wide audience, it offered a range of engines and options to suit various tastes and budgets. The first-generation Camaro shared its platform with the Pontiac Firebird and was available in coupe or convertible body styles.
The 1968 model year brought significant updates, including refined styling with a longer hood and shorter rear deck, giving it a more aggressive stance. It featured iconic design elements like the SS (Super Sport) package, RS (Rally Sport) appearance package, and the Z/28 performance package. With its blend of performance, style, and customization options, the 1968 Camaro set the stage for generations of enthusiasts and cemented its status as a classic American muscle car.
THE CAR OFFERED
This gorgeous 1968 Camaro Sport Coupe is a well-documented, restored and upgraded example that boasts many tasteful performance improvements and now comes to market out of a 25-year enthusiast ownership. The car was built in late September of 1968 at GM's Norwood plant in Cincinnati, OH. Originally finished in Butternut Yellow paint with black standard bucket seats, it now looks sleek and aggressive finished in black paint with SS trim. It appears to sport a high-quality older cosmetic restoration with only minor wear to the interior, the worst of which is a slight separation along the seam at the top of the passenger seat.
Performance upgrades are plenty, including Moroso aluminum heads, hydraulic roller cams, a turbo 400 automatic shift kit that replaces the original 4-speed manual transmission (better for drag racing!), a 2,700 RPM stall torque speed converter, a Northern aluminum radiator, MSD ignition, a new power brake booster with front disc brakes, new air-conditioning, as well as aftermarket tachometer, water temperature, oil pressure, and vacuum pressure gauges. A 3-spoke padded sport steering wheel and period-correct Cragar S/S chrome 5-spoke sport wheels complete the look of this awesome machine, and with a recent service reported by the consignor, it now needs nothing but a new owner to keep it exercised.
