1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Convertible

A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS convertible is already pretty darn desirable. But when you see this has performance big block power, four-on-the floor, and terrific color coordination, well then you realize it's a muscle car dream come true. This car wasn't quite born looking this stunning. For example, the Matador Red is a 1968-correct color, but it benefits from a modern clearcoat application. And the sunshine-friendly deep luster is exactly what you want on a sunshine-friendly convertible. It... provides the perfect backdrop to highlight the black bumblebee stripe, black folding roof, blacked-out rear panel, and blacked-out hidden headlights of the Rally Sport panel. The overall effect is almost like a two-tone that's both aggressive and attractive. In fact, this one not only has the RS upgrade, but also the cowl hood and badging for a desirable RS/SS look. All the iconic other goodies on the car make it easy to love, too, including the front air dam and chrome bumpers w/bumperettes. Plus, it wouldn't be a true 60s GM classic without the bright Rally wheels, but the extra meaty rear rubber hints at the upgrades under the hood (more on that in a moment.) Because the black trim looks so good on the exterior, you'll love the matching, full, black interior. Thanks to the power convertible top, you're only just the flip of a switch away from being open to the world. The sleek low-back bucket seats are what we all want in a Camaro, and the wood-like center console is a great period-correct look. In fact, this one really wants to keep its full classic look, so the AM/FM digital tuner is a retro-style unit. Camaros are very much built for the driver, and that's why you get a comfortable three-spoke sports steering wheel. Beyond it are the deep dual pods that house the large speedo and tach. There's the iconic quad auxiliary readouts on the console. And the bright white topper on the Hurst shifter is like a beacon calling out for your right hand. The callouts on the fenders and the air topper might say 396, but that's a bit of a fib, because the displacement is actually larger. You're looking at a 454 cubic-inch big block filling the engine bay. Rebuilt in 2009, it retains the tidy setup of true power. This big block inhales deeply with a Weber four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as headers add even more power while contributing to the rumble of the H-pipe dual exhaust. And the four-speed manual transmission means you're in complete control of the power and thunder this produces. And speaking of control, power brakes w/discs up front and deep treads on the BF Goodrich T/As help make sure your open-top experience is all smiles. The sale comes complete with build receipts, maintenance records, and a car cover. This is the classic with power and presence, so if you want it all, call today!
