Assembled during April of 1968 in Norwood, Ohio, this awesome Camaro is the beneficiary of a 5-year old, Rotisserie restoration. The no expense spared restoration massaged its rock-solid body into better-than-new condition. After that body was completely stripped, and a bit of high-quality metalwork was completed, its sculpted panels were prepped for a correct coat of GM's Lemans Blue urethane. Once that glossy basecoat dried, smooth Ermine White rally stripes were sealed under a durable clearcoat shine. And today, this top-notch pony car is a spectacular classic which combines the best aspects of Chevrolet performance with the gratuitous fun and old school style that only vintage American muscle can provide!
With its classic proportions and modernist panels, the first-generation Camaro is an inherently attractive design. And with today's world class restoration techniques, it has become an excellent canvas for any skilled builder to create a seriously nice car. At the front of this clean F-Body, a bright silver grille centers a small Chevrolet emblem between simple parking lamps, bright halogen headlights, a mirror-like bumper and an optional D80 chin spoiler. Above that grille, a correct Camaro hood leads to original the eye to like-new glass that's bordered by straight stainless trim, cleared by matte-finished wipers and reflected by a correct square mirror. At the sides of that hood, sculpted fenders combine with traditional chrome door handles, correct fender emblems and fresh stainless rocker trim to detail the car's deep green profile. And at the back of those fenders, an option D80 decklid spoiler complements chrome-trimmed tail lights, a body-matched fuel cap and a second, mirrored bumper.
Under the car's Kansas-flat hood you'll find an original 3914678 branded V8 which was cast on March (C) 14th (14) of 1968 (8), and was assembled during 1968 as a Z/28-exclusive 302 (MO), and stamped with a correct 18N417758 partial VIN. Straight from the factory, Chevrolet's high performance SCCA Mustang slayer utilizes high flow, rectangular port heads, a forged steel crank, forged steel rods and forged aluminum pistons to twist stout 11 to 1 compression into more than 350 horsepower! At the top of the red-hot small block, the very rare cowl plenum induction system swirls air into the correct date code Winter intake via the correct date code 4053 4-barrel carburetor. At the sides of that intake, the date code correct double hump heads prop chrome valve covers above the owner preferred installed headers. When fired, the infamous 302 snarls and barks like a real competition piece. Its ancillary components are either date code correct “born with” or GM fresh. And an evenly sprayed combination of Chevy Orange engine skin and satin black fender framing is carefully interrupted by variety of fresh decals and correct markings.
