There is something undeniably magnetic about a first generation Camaro, a car that promises summer nights with the top down, main-street attention and a simple, mechanical connection to the road. This one walks that line between show and go, with period-correct style cues and modern-day drivability wrapped into a driver-quality package. It wears a bold hockey stick paint treatment, polished American Racing wheels and a cowl hood that give it presence, while the honest finishes and a few small dings keep it affordable for someone who wants to enjoy it. This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, is ready to be driven and enjoyed today.
The interior mixes upgraded and original elements for a purposeful, sporty feel. You sit in sport bucket seats with a Grant steering wheel and a horse shifter up front. A trio of auxiliary gauges under the dash and a 120 mph speedometer keep you informed.
Under the hood is a small 350 V8 that runs well and is paired to a three speed automatic transmission. The motor wears Edelbrock dress-up pieces, an Edelbrock intake and a four barrel carburetor, with steel braided lines and a serpentine belt kit for tidy packaging. The car is manual steering and manual brakes, with front disc brakes and rear drums, a simple, engaging setup. The suspension features front coil springs, rear leaf springs, shocks, a sway bar and traction bars for straight-line stability. Dual exhaust and a 10 bolt rear axle round out the mechanical picture.
