The backbone of the old car hobby is not pedigreed cars that cost six figuresand#44; but rather the cars that the rest of us drive on weekends and nice days. They may not be perfectand#44; they may not be investmentsand#44; but theyre a lot of fun and make us smile every time we drive them. Thats the story on this 1968 Chevrolet Camaroand#44; which is simpleand#44; affordable funand#44; and thats what makes it great. The bright green and white paint scheme gives this early F-body a road race lookand#44; and while it isnt quite the same as the original code Z British Greenand#44; the 2013 paint job was very thorough. It was never intended to be a show carand#44; so it has a few signs of useand#44; but theres no denying that this car has a ton of eye-appeal. A custom white stripe encircles the nose then streaks back over the hoodand#44; roofand#44; and trunkand#44; giving this F-body an aggressive look thats a little different from the usual SS setup. A cowl induction hood was added along the wayand#44; so it has the proper high-performance Camaro look and these cars just look incomplete without the traditional ducktail spoiler out back. The chrome and stainless appears to be mostly nice original stuffand#44; and if you want to take it up a leveland#44; there are little detail things you could do that are not expensive. Black buckets are standard Camaro fareand#44; and it appears that almost everything inside this car is original save for the carpets. The seat covers show some age but theyre still good to goand#44; and the same is true of the door panels and dash; theres no shame in originality. The headliner was replacedand#44; so its in good orderand#44; and theres a custom green Hurst shifter knob for the 4-speed manual transmission. The factory instrument panel covers speed and fuel leveland#44; with a trio of auxiliary gauges under the dash for things like oil pressureand#44; voltageand#44; and temperature. The steering wheel is from a later model but it looks right hereand#44; and theres an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit in the center of the dash that sounds pretty good. The back seat is in excellent condition with few signs of use and the trunk is outfitted with a correct mat and full-sized spare tire with cover. If you want to have fun in a Camaroand#44; the 400 cubic inch small block V8 here definitely delivers. Rebuilt about 25and#44;000 miles agoand#44; the strong-running small block has performance enhancers like an Edelbrock Victor Jr intake manifold and a Quadrajet carburetor up topand#44; HEI ignitionand#44; and ported headsand#44; a combination that was perfected decades ago and works wonderfully here. Theres Chevy orange on the block itselfand#44; so it looks right sitting in the Camaros engine bayand#44; and its surrounded by reasonably correct-looking accessories including a recent alternatorand#44; power brake booster and master cylinderand#44; and a few chrome dress-up pieces. A good deep cleaning here would really pay off. Long-tube headers feed a throaty Flowmaster dual exhaust system and youll note that the floor behind it is quite good. The 4-speed feeds a 10-bolt rear end and it sits on a set of later SS wheels with black centers and recent BFG rubber. Sometimes you just want a car that works right and looks great without the worries that come with treating it as an investment. Take this Camaro homeand#44; get inand#44; and have some fun.
