1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Restomod

Description

Make a dream list for your ultimate 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. We bet it's a convertible with the best RS and SS designations. There's terrific paint, custom touches, four-wheel disc brakes, and a performance small block with extra gears under the hood, too? Yup, we know what you want, and here it is fresh from a restoration.

This Camaro is the perfect combination of vintage looks, mixed with some nice custom touches. You instantly know that this deep blue is not what comes from the factory. After all, a clearcoat shine with this depth can only come from a recent investment in making the sunshine-friendly droptop really pops. Only the straightest body panels will do on this kind of paintwork, or else you'd instantly see imperfections. That's why there was a lot invested in making sure that anything less than wonderful was replaced. Added to it is a cool custom take on the DX1 and D90 stripe package, in an aggressive high gloss black. It's a continuous flow coordinating nicely with the dark interior and the crisp black electric folding roof, so this one looks great with the top up or down. Plus, it wouldn't be a Super Sport without great first generation touches like the power dome hood, front splitter, and D80 ducktail spoiler. And of course, we all love the Rally Sport's hidden headlight package. Adding a touch of modern flair to this classic package are the iconic Cragar wheels in a large 18-inch size.

Because you're going to want to spend so much time open to the world, there was plenty of time and investment in the interior, too. When you sit down in the plush black vinyl bucket seat, you are surrounded by a classic layout that has been given all the right upgrades. It starts with the new three-spoke custom steering wheel with Chevy bow tie in the center. It gives you a clear view of the dual pod gauge setup that now contains an easy to read AutoMeter speedometer and performance tachometer. There's a quad set of auxiliary gauges mounted in center console, and above that is an AM/FM/CD stereo with an aux input for your iPod. But as much as you'll enjoy the most modern tunes in this droptop, when you count the gears on the Hurst shifter, you'll instantly realize your favorite soundtrack will be the rumble of the dual exhaust.

Grab your sunglasses before opening the hood, because if the shine of the exterior-matching metallic blue engine bay doesn't get you, all the polished components on the small block will. The reason why everything looks so fresh is because you're looking at a brand new 350 cubic-inch performance crate motor. It has great go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the new Flowmaster exhaust. It's rated at 330 hp, and the sweet rumble makes sure everyone believes it. But don't just listen to the beastly pipes, follow their journey in the undercarriage photos. There you will see how thorough this frame-off restoration was. But just because this Camaro is so clean doesn't mean it should be a trailer queen. The Borg Warner five-speed manual transmission is there to make sure you get the ultimate performance out of this new powerful small block. Backing this up is power steering, modern performance tires, a new GM positraction unit with 3.42 gears, and even a four-wheel power disc brake system. So, it's a true classic that's also been upgraded to love the backroads.

You've dreamed about restoring a Camaro to this level. Now you can skip the planning and get right to the fun of driving, but only if you're quick enough to grab this one. The original 327 V8 is even available from the consignor if you are interested at an additional cost. Call today!!
