1968 Chevrolet Camaro Description

When you've got the horsepower, there's really no need to be subtle about your appearance. This wicked yellow 1968 Chevrolet Camaro doesn't have anything to prove, not with a strong-running 350 under the hood, all the modern conveniences, and oversized rolling stock that give it an aggressive look. If all that appeals to you, read on, because this is a pretty darned cool car.Even stripped of all its badges, you know this Camaro means business. The bright yellow and black paint job reaches out and grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Fit and finish are quite good, not perfect, but certainly nice enough to generate compliments from the guys who have already heard it run, and there's no way anyone will mistake it for someone else's car. We love the way the black paint accentuates the kick-up of the quarter panels, and the combination of black and yellow recalls a famous movie car that perhaps you've seen. A cowl-induction hood was added during the build and the chrome and stainless trim was either refinished or removed to give it a clean, uncluttered look. They got the little stuff right, too, like nice reproduction taillight lenses, front and rear spoilers, and nice glass that doesn't have that beat-up look that some old cars get.If you've driven an early Camaro before, you'll be impressed by how modern this '68 feels today. New low-back buckets give it a nicely finished custom look, and while it has a center console to dress things up a bit, most of the attention was focused on the dash. Glowing Dakota Digital gauges, a cool black billet steering wheel, and that cool B&M QuickSilver shifter for the 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission give it a high-tech feel. Entertainment comes from a Jensen AM/FM/CD stereo head unit, and ice cold A/C is a nice plus for a car you're going to drive frequently. The back seat was upholstered to match, which is a nice touch that a lot of builders would have skipped, and the trunk is neatly trimmed with an original-style mat.But the real reason this car stands out is the engine bay, which is beautifully detailed and stuffed full of small block Chevy V8. With big block levels of power and the weight of a small block, it definitely brings the thunder. An Edelbrock intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carb handle the air and fuel, and the block was painted to match the bodywork. Black valve covers and a matching air cleaner add an industrial-strength look under the hood and modern touches include the aluminum radiator and serpentine belt setup for the accessory drive. You'll note that the A/C has been upgraded to R134a refrigerant and with power steering and brakes plus the aforementioned 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, it's docile enough to drive in traffic without getting cranky and a superlative highway cruiser. The chassis and undercarriage are in good order with lots of new parts and super clean floors, plus a fresh Flowmaster dual exhaust system. Big Torque Thrust wheels fill out the wheel wells and carry 235/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear performance radials.For those of you who prefer to walk softly and carry a big stick, well, this isn't your car. But if you like visibility to go with your horsepower, then this '68 Camaro has a lot to offer. Call today!
