Energized by a fresh color scheme that provides an aesthetic nod to a group of its heralded aftermarket brethren, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 represents one of the most sought after muscle car models ever created in its first generation form. It's got power galore, as well as a singular stance that will really allow it to stand out wherever it may roam. Many classic car aficionados are likely to recognize the striking paint this... '68 wears. The vibrant yellow backdrop with painted black striping encircling the cowl scoop on the hood mirrors the appearance of the Yenko Camaros of the era - a select class of this Chevy's stablemates that ventured straight off the assembly line and into the capable hands of one of America's most respected aftermarket wizards. The aggressive stance on display here is amplified even further by larger wheels in back, making it look like this muscle car is raised on its haunches and ready to uncoil at the changing of a stoplight - in fact, it is. The attention getting color combo is in good form, showing a strong shine - a comprehensive detailing would elevate it even further - and the striped ornamentation sits under a strong clearcoat to make for a nice, uniform texture. From end to end, the chrome trim is in top form, further adding to this car's already singular appeal and the signature SS lettering up front is surrounded by a fresh black grille. Just inside, the authentically stock interior makes for a very road ready and compelling driving environment, with a pair of clean front buckets on either side of a sharp factory center console that provides some welcome interior storage space and positions the signature Chevy horseshoe shifter, accented by a fresh woodgrain panel, within easy reach. Just a little farther forward, you'll see the quartet of displays that marks the presence of one of the most coveted features in this classic's day - the upgraded console gauge package. The matching carpet lining the floor has plenty of miles left in it and is punctuated by a pair of branded floor mats in front whose bright yellow accents provide a nice bit of contrast to the rest of the interior. A fresh, supple dash pad runs across the top of the dash, clear and functional gauges reside inside the instrument panel and you'll find an AM/FM/CD player on board inside the glove box to tend to your audio needs while on the road. This Camaro is ready to provide g-force inducing adventures on the asphalt just as soon as you get it home. Armed with a 4-barrel carb, the 396 cubic inch V8 lurking under the cowl hood is in top form, starting right up and pulling with plenty of conviction as it sends that distinctive sound only a roller motor can make into the long tube headers leading out to its dual exhaust. There's a 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission in place just behind the powerplant, rounding out a drivetrain that's thoroughly dialed in and ready for action. An array of chrome components adds eye candy to the engine compartment, while an upgraded radiator helps keep operating temperatures under control and an aftermarket ignition maximizes available spark. The set of aggressively staggered R Rev wheels - 17" in front and a full 20" in back - provide an outstanding stance, while power steering and power brakes with discs up front equip this classic with excellent manners in everyday motoring conditions. Decked out in its endlessly appealing color combo and offering plenty of smile inducing power, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 represents a great opportunity. Call today!
