1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Description

It's hard to go wrong with a 1968 Camaro RS, finished in Matador Red, and a sweet-running small block 4-speed under the hood. The timeless shape will always look good, and these cars garner instant respect on the road, and on the show field.

The bodywork is tidy on this Camaro. It's been resprayed to its factory-correct red, just to make sure it has a head-turning shine when it cruises down the road. In fact, the glossy paint, and distinctive Ivory Sport Stripe, help highlight this Chevy's exceptionally good panel fit. All the other goodies on the car make it easy to love, including the chin spoiler, the cowl induction hood, and factory ducktail spoiler that always finishes these cars with a flourish. It wouldn't be a true 60s GM classic without the optional Rally wheels. Of course the hallmark of the RS package is the headlights hidden within the grille. Plus, without the SS badging in the front, this one actually has a meaner look because there is less to break up the stylized blacked-out appearance.

The upgraded factory "custom" interior adds a nice touch of chrome embedded into the black vinyl bucket seats. Everything else is equally well presented, with very clean and complete carpets, headliner, as well as the deluxe door panels with the convenience of a deeper armrest. A three-spoke rosewood steering wheel warms the dark interior, and works well with the inserts on the dash and center console. In fact, the wood panels help break up the interior of the car, and highlight some of the desired features such as the Astro Ventilation heat/defrost, upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo, and the cool cue ball gearshift. Combine these three items, and it's the perfect recipe for cruising down a winding backroad that requires plenty of shifting, and just the right tunes to complement the feeling of the wind rushing through your hair.

Under the hood is a stout 327 cubic-inch V8. The condition of the belts, hoses, and whole engine bay are evidence of serious investment in keeping this Camaro a healthy pony car. Plus, there are plenty of affordable upgrades for this small block that can be added in a matter of hours. So, you can drive this car home today, and have the luxury of choosing when you want some weekend fun tinkering in your garage. Regardless of what you want to do with the motor, the rest of the drivetrain can handle it. The power is sent through a four-speed manual transmission that feeds into the durable 12-bolt rear end. The suspension is all stock, so you don't have to worry that someone has monkeyed with the geometry or created a lowered monster that rides like a brick. For further cruising convenience, this coupe has options like power steering, and power brakes, producing a classic that has an overall mean look but a nice drive.

This Camaro has all the right equipment to be both a fun driver and attention-grabber. It's your choice to fill your weekends with car shows, easy upgrades, or just hop in on a whim for a Saturday night cruise. That's what makes this Camaro irresistible.
