1968 Chevrolet Camaro

There's definitely an elusive combination that makes some cars great and leaves other cars wanting. This 1968 Camaro nails it, anging from a great color combination to a sweet-running small block punched out to 383 cubes, o niceties like ice cold A/C that make it a pleasure to drive. Nothing exotic, ust solid fundamentals that make for a first-class machine.Early F-bodies always look great in dark colors, nd this slick SS tribute with its electric blue paint and pearl black Z/28 stripes has a street fighter look that's made all the more exceptional with its high-quality shine. There's a long list of upgrades under the skin, ut your first impression is of a car that's had a lot of time and effort invested in the final product. The doors fit neatly, he cowl induction hood sits flush, nd the steel underneath is worthy of the glossy finish. Two stage urethane gives it a shine so deep you feel like you can dip your fingers in it, nd thanks to expert care since it was completed, t shows almost no signs of use. SS badges are practically standard equipment on any Camaro restoration these days, ut this car also includes other correct elements like the single-element taillights, owtie-logo gas cap, nd, f course, he ducktail spoiler. It sure looks the part, ight down to the shiny bumpers fore and aft which look quite good against the slick blue paint job.The black interior has a handsome, pscale look thanks to a set of luxurious-looking seat covers on the original bucket seats. Instead of feeling claustrophobic and cramped, his Camaro feels purposeful and committed thanks to a fat 4-spoke steering wheel and a center console. Camaro fans will be pleased to see that this is a factory A/C car, hich imparts a certain deluxe feel that goes with the faux walnut applique on the center stack. A full set of Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges have been stuffed into the original instrument panel, clean look that's also very functional. A Panasonic AM/FM/CD stereo head unit is a great addition to the car that still sounds good, nd those are the controls for the Gear Vendors overdrive unit right underneath. Carpets, oor panels, nd the headliner are in similarly good condition and are correct replacements for the original equipment. The trunk is basic but clean, ith spatter finish paint to make it look correct.The 383 cubic inch V8 is a familiar sight under the hoods of Camaros, ut not many are as musclebound as this. 383s love to rev and bring big block levels of torque to the party, aking this car a real weapon on the street. Chrome pieces add a little flash on top, ut for the most part, t's functional rather than pretty, nd that's OK with us. An aluminum intake manifold and Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor mean that throttle response is instant, nd they built it to be reliable, ncluding the massive aluminum radiator up front, new alternator to power the dual electric fans, nd lots of new wiring. Long-tube headers flow into a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system, nd subframe connectors have been added to reinforce the chassis. The aforementioned Gear Vendors overdrive unit is bolted to a TH350 3-speed automatic, nd it really makes cruising on the highway effortless. The suspension, rakes, nd rear axles are all new, nd it sits on a set of 17-inch REV wheels with 235/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear Yokohama radials.Very nicely finished and powerful enough to need all that rubber, his slick '68 Camaro gets the details right to create a great cruiser for the upcoming season.
