It's hard to go wrong with a big block Camaro. This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS tribute not only has a 396ci V8, but it also has been given all the right investments to make this sleek, coordinated, and the kind of coupe that can grab attention for more than just its wicked rumble.
The appeal of this car starts with the paint. There was $5k invested in 2015 to give you a bold application of the Camaro's Matador Red. Its aggressive side continues with a black streak that starts with the RS grille, runs through the SS stinger stripe, and continues onto the black vinyl roof. Even the center cap on the Weld wheels follows this theme, and their staggered 14/15-inch front/rear stance makes it quite aggressive. The traditional ducktail out back adds to the SS's attitude, and proper badging remains throughout, including the prized “396” emblems on the front fenders. But before all these features fill you with desire, take some time to look at the fundamentals. Panel fit is quite good overall, and it's nice to see a stock hood with the vertical stack trim simply because their originality draws attention.
Step inside, and this is the perfect blend of vintage and new. For example, the black ... Please ask for the full description.

Its aggressive side continues with a black streak that starts with the RS grille, runs through the SS stinger stripe, and continues onto the black vinyl roof. Even the center cap on the Weld wheels follows this theme, and their staggered 14/15-inch front/rear stance makes it quite aggressive. The traditional ducktail out back adds to the SS's attitude, and proper badging remains throughout, including the prized "396" emblems on the front fenders. But before all these features fill you with desire, take some time to look at the fundamentals. Panel fit is quite good overall, and it's nice to see a stock hood with the vertical stack trim simply because their originality draws attention.
Step inside, and this is the perfect blend of vintage and new. For example, the black vinyl seats, carpets, and door panels are all correct for 1968, and the front buckets feel factory fresh thanks to newer covers. The center console is stock, but on top is a modern armrest unit with cup holders (you can always remove it if you want.) Just ahead of that is the iconic horseshoe shifter and quad auxiliary gauge package. The stereo could pass for a vintage unit with its bright knob style presentation, but it's really a more modern digital AM/FM tuner with cassette player. The driver gets a three-spoke sports steering wheel with an SS emblem added in the middle. Beyond that are the deep dual pods that emphasize the large speedo and tach.
The big 396 cubic-inch V8 fills the engine bay with its bold orange block. While you'll admire the tidy style, what you'll really love is that that has been a later investment in quality, too. We have a receipt from 2012 documenting a top-end rebuild. Plus, it has been given a Holley four-barrel carburetor, electronic ignition, and Hedman headers. The result is a total package that fires up like a dream but has a haunting rumble from the dual exhaust. It's an excellent cruiser, too, thanks to features like the stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs up front. This results in a classic that has an overall aggressive look and sound, but it's quite a nice drive.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and maintenance records. This is a sharp-looking icon, and there's even potential to take it to the next level by servicing come features like the RS headlight doors or returning the factory air conditioning. So if you love a big block coupe with a head-turning appeal, this is the one. Call now!
