This muscle car is rightfully beloved by many.
When someone starts talking about classic muscle cars, the Chevy Camaro is high on the list of old favorites. That’s what makes the possibility of owning something like this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS so compelling. Freshly restored, this hardtop coupe looks absolutely perfect in every way. Just imagine cruising down the main drag in your town with this car, people staring in awe as you roll on past.
First-generation Camaros have that iconic muscular look which is sure to wow. The straight, unblemished body panels on this car are accentuated by smooth red paint and the perfect black striping, making it look almost as if it just rolled off the dealer lot for the first time. Dazzling chrome and Chevy Rally wheels with BFG radial tires wrapped around complete the look. Take this ride anywhere and you’re sure to impress.
Under the hood sits a 327ci V8, which is fed by a Holley 4bbl carb and an aluminum intake. Hooker headers help with the exhale end. It also comes with Edelbrock aluminum heads and a solid roller camshaft. An automatic transmission makes driving this old Chevrolet simple, while the 3.73 posi rear end makes for plenty of tire-shredding fun. Or you could choose to just take this classic on calm cruises, roll the windows down, and just listen to the engine rumble.
You’ll note the interior is mostly original and in top-notch condition, thanks to it having been recently redone, right down to perfect door panels and vinyl over the TMI bucket seats, spotless carpet, and all the original gauges. There are Pro Comp oil pressure and engine temperature gauges, so you can keep an eye on things if you really want to see what this Camaro can do.
Originally launched for the 1967 model year, the Chevrolet Camaro was an instant hit, challenging the Ford Mustang in every way. GM decided to go with subtle design changes for the 1968 model year. Those classic looks have kept values steady recently, making this a car a safe bet. If you’re interested, GR Auto Gallery is handling the sale.
