This 1968 Camaro does a lot of things right. Firstand#44; it has its matching-numbers 327 under the hoodand#44; which is always nice. Its also remarkable because of the unique color combinationand#44; which is original to the car. Its not modified or a fakeand#44; its just a clean V8 Camaro that looks awesome and is content just being itselfand#44; and thats veryand#44; very cool. For many enthusiastsand#44; the best cars are those that are as the factory intended. Sureand#44; resto-mods can be cooland#44; but with this unusual Ash Gold Camaroand#44; you can see the purity of the original design and understand why Mustang designers were scrambling to come up with something new. Face it: the base Camaro coupe is SLICK! Look at the arch of the rear fenders that suggest big horsepower underneathand#44; the smooth flow of air over the roofand#44; and the long hood that make muscle carsand#44; welland#44; muscle cars. When youre not fixated on the next cool add-onand#44; you can spend time on more important things like bodyworkand#44; which is quite straight with good gaps all around. You can invest in paintand#44; which is two-stage urethane that has a deep shine that sparkles and shows extremely welland#44; especially with the black stripe around the nose. And you can get all the little stuff rightand#44; ranging from the chrome bumpers to the taillights out back. Add in a correct black vinyl top and you have an F-body that looks like it should be owned by a grown-up. The code 722 Gold bucket seat interior works well with the bodyworkand#44; offering new seat coversand#44; door panelsand#44; carpets to give it a factory-fresh feeling. All the stuff that makes Camaros awesome is hereand#44; ranging from the deeply-recessed instruments with brightand#44; clear faces to the hooded center stack that houses controls for the heater and original AM radio. Yeahand#44; its a Powerglideand#44; but who cares when you have that horseshoe shifter in the center console to play with? Dig deep-dish steering wheeland#44; the woodgrain appliquesand#44; and the new knobs and handlesand#44; all of which look quite authentic and add a lot of visual jewelry. Youll also be pleased to see that the trunk has no secrets hiding under a matand#44; just original-looking sheetmetal that looks like its been living someplace warm and dry. The car still carries its original LF7 327 cubic inch V8and#44; which was rated at 210 horsepower from the factory. The decal on the air cleaner might imply that its an L30and#44; but theres still a factory 2-barrel carburetor living underneath. It has been beautifully restored and brightly finished with Chevy Orange engine enameland#44; all set into a satin black engine bay so it looks very purposeful but not over-dressed. Power steering is a welcome addition to any early pony car (it wasnt always standard equipmentand#44; you know) and there are a lot of new parts so its ready to enjoy. Underneathand#44; its solid and nicely keptand#44; with the aforementioned Powerglide and 10-bolt rearand#44; plus a fresh Flowmaster exhaust system and gas tank hanging out back. It gets its stance from factory Rally wheels and big 235/60/15 rear white letter radials. If you appreciate the Camaroand#44; then surely you appreciate one that isnt trying too hard and that sticks to the original recipe. Its still fast and funand#44; and itll really stand out at shows.
