1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Description

Its vibrant color scheme makes it almost impossible to turn away from, while its aggressive stance makes this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS appear as if it's poised to strike. This Chevy has plenty more to offer than just its considerable aesthetics, though - it's running nice and strong and features a well restored interior with all the vintage mojo you could want.

There's no doubt that this Camaro will make you look its way even while it's still far off in the distance. The combination of its bright yellow backdrop and painted black stripes running the lengths of the hood and deck lid - a properly authentic Rally Sport color configuration - is an attention getter that builds upon the considerable curb appeal this '68 already possessed. Up front, the signature cowl hood combines with the jet black grille housing the hidden headlights - themselves a defining RS feature that prompted many a Camaro buyer to opt for the styling package - to create an outstanding look. The front bumper, painted to match the rest of the exterior, is the only deviation from factory configuration on display here - being a genuine RS, this car already possessed a seemingly aftermarket appearance even as it left the factory. Throughout, the brightwork is in great shape and clear glass surrounds the cabin.

The black vinyl interior just inside the doors is a definite strong suit. Take a closer look and you'll be taken by its condition - pretty much every component, from the front buckets and rear bench seat, to the door panels, carpeting and snug-fitting headliner, look downright new. The view from the driver's vantage point is awesome. Just beyond the ultra-clean RS branded steering wheel, an array of ultra clean gauges sit inside the instrument panel, while the white balled Hurst shifter waits within easy reach, surrounded by its fresh woodgrain accent and calling out to you to grab ahold and take a run through the gears. The additional quartet of gauges just in front of the shifter, a defining feature for the well-equipped Camaros of this era, is also in good working order. A Vintage Air climate control system has been added and it's operating in top form, standing by to promptly cool or warm the interior as needed through the factory in-dash vents for a seamless appearance.

In addition to its high impact classic look, this Camaro happens to be a great driver. The 350 cubic inch V8 under the cowl hood is running great. It's armed with a Holley 4-barrel carb and matching Air Intake manifold and exhales into a pair of aftermarket headers that funnel into a dual exhaust for an outstanding sound. It's certainly got it going on in the looks department as well, wearing a chrome air cleaner on top and a pair of chrome, Chevy branded valve covers at its sides as it sits in a very nicely detailed engine compartment. Right behind it is a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly and rounds out a "hands on" drivetrain that's a perfect match for a classic muscle car like this. With featured power steering and power brakes that position discs up front, the navigation is fluid and the stops come quickly and easily. Ultra-clean 15" Chevy Rally wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich T/A radials provide just the right finishing touch. Below, the undercarriage looks very solid and the contrast between the black components and the yellow oil pan and bell housing looks awesome.

Genuine Rally Sports grow harder to come by with each passing year, so this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS, with its magnetic appearance and strong running condition, is a very welcome find. Call today!
