Make a dream list for your ultimate 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. We bet its a convertible with the best RS and SS designations. Theres terrific paintand#44; custom touchesand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and a performance small block with extra gears under the hoodand#44; too? Yupand#44; we know what you wantand#44; and here it is fresh from a restoration. This Camaro is the perfect combination of vintage looksand#44; mixed with some nice custom touches. You instantly know that this deep blue is not what comes from the factory. After alland#44; 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 paintworkand#44; or else youd instantly see imperfections. Thats 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 packageand#44; in an aggressive high gloss black. Its a continuous flow coordinating nicely with the dark interior and the crisp black electric folding roofand#44; so this one looks great with the top up or down. Plusand#44; it wouldnt be a Super Sport without great first generation touches like the power dome hoodand#44; front splitterand#44; and D80 ducktail spoiler. And of courseand#44; we all love the Rally Sports 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 youre going to want to spend so much time open to the worldand#44; there was plenty of time and investment in the interiorand#44; too. When you sit down in the plush black vinyl bucket seatand#44; 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. Theres a quad set of auxiliary gauges mounted in center consoleand#44; and above that is an AM/FM/CD stereo with an aux input for your iPod. But as much as youll enjoy the most modern tunes in this droptopand#44; when you count the gears on the Hurst shifterand#44; youll instantly realize your favorite soundtrack will be the rumble of the dual exhaust. Grab your sunglasses before opening the hoodand#44; because if the shine of the exterior-matching metallic blue engine bay doesnt get youand#44; all the polished components on the small block will. The reason why everything looks so fresh is because youre looking at a brand new 350 cubic-inch performance crate motor. It has great go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetorand#44; Edelbrock intakeand#44; and headers feeding the new Flowmaster exhaust. Its rated at 330 hpand#44; and the sweet rumble makes sure everyone believes it. But dont just listen to the beastly pipesand#44; 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 doesnt 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 steeringand#44; modern performance tiresand#44; a new GM positraction unit with 3.42 gearsand#44; and even a four-wheel power disc brake system. Soand#44; its a true classic thats also been upgraded to love the backroads. Youve dreamed about restoring a Camaro to this level. Now you can skip the planning and get right to the fun of drivingand#44; but only if youre 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!! |
