Like any longstanding nameplate thats fortunate enough to enjoy a rabid fanbase the Camaro is equated with quite a few amusing stereotypes. High among those judgments is the common theme of loud pipes loud paint and loud owners. While some enthusiasts fully embrace that mindset others focus on the innate negativity associated with each of those attributes. Thats why its always nice to find a car like this awesome F1 Super Sport. Dressed in subdued Seafrost paint and pliable Black vinyl its certainly classy enough to fly under the radar. Sporting a tweaked 396/4-speed drivetrain its the kind of car that walks softly and carries a big stick. And well you can decide if you want to be a loud owner. If youre looking to slide behind the wheel of a vintage panther but dont really want look-at–me paint polarizing Rally Stripes and earth-shaking acoustics heres a well done Super Sport that puts the class back in classic!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Conducted sometime prior to 2004 this Chevys detailed restoration began with massaging the cars rock-solid body in to better-than-new condition. When that shell was smooth and aligned correct Seafrost base was accented with thick and glossy clear. When that pigment was dried and buffed a black Super Sport stripe was complemented with traditional black rockers and a familiar black valance. And today this coupe rolls as one top-notch cruiser thats ready to turn heads and win trophies!

Thanks to the variety of factory options available for the 1968 model year this Camaro features a nice mix of common traits that work extremely well together. At the front of the car a traditional Rally Sport grille centers a classy SS emblem above a bright bumper and familiar Rally Sport parking lamps. Above that grille a Camaro branded header leads the eye to a requisite Super Sport hood. Behind that hood tinted glass sits inside stainless wipers straight stainless frames and a correct vinyl roof that was installed by our own RKM Performance Center. At the sides of that glass a sculpted profile floats correct mirrors correct door handles and correct marker lamps around bright wheel trim deluxe rocker trim and appropriate fender badging. And at the back of the car monochromatic Rally Sport taillights illuminate Rally Sport reverse lamps an SS branded fuel cap a D80 decklid spoiler and a second bright bumper.

ENGINE

Lift this F1s chrome-trimmed hood and youll find a date-correct 396 cubic inch Chevrolet big block wedged inside a Satin Black engine bay thats detailed all the way down to its fresh decals and reproduction paint marks. Power originates when wind whips from a polished air cleaner in to a 670cfm Holley Street Avenger which is anchored between stainless fluid lines and an aluminum Chevrolet Performance intake. That air/fuel mixture travels to factory-spec heads which ride under polished valve covers. Sparks get sequenced from an MSD Pro-Billet distributor to loomed Packard TV R Suppression cables. Spent gases roar through aluminized pipes via fully restored exhaust manifolds. Charge comes courtesy of a fresh alternator which spins between a 5-blade pulley fan factory power steering and a familiar Frigidaire compressor. A lightweight aluminum radiator provides cooling. And details like a fresh brake booster Harrison AC components and a Delco Energizer battery create a clean and purposeful appearance.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
