When Ford released the Mustang in 1964, Chevrolet knew they had to respond. Cue 1966 and the Camaro was released. Produced to this day, the Camaro is one of Chevrolet’s most successful nameplates, and this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is from the first generation that started it all. Moreover, it’s a restomod that’s undergone a rotisserie restoration, which is a complete reconditioning of a car, following total disassembly, and is as intensive as you can get. With upgrades in the power as well as convenience departments, it’s ready to hit the road.

Exterior and Interior

The first thing you notice on this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is its hidden headlamps, followed by the lovely red paintwork. Looking further, tasteful details come to light such as the ducktail spoiler and polished Billet Specialties 17-inch alloy wheels. That muscle car stance is clearly apparent from all angles, but wait till you hear about what’s under the hood. Meanwhile, let’s step aboard and enter the black interior of the car which can seat four occupants on leather seats. Vintage Air air conditioning and heating ensures comfort no matter if its freezing or sweltering outside, while a custom Sony head unit with USB, AUX, MP3, WMA and AAC compatibility – plus the good old radio – ensure that your tunes are catered to, through new speakers that are visible behind the rear seats. A tilt steering column, Grant GT steering wheel, metal sport pedals, Autometer gauges, power windows and AutoLuc push button start are present too. The interior looks to be in sublime condition, highlighting just how much attention to detail was paid during the restoration.

Engine

Let’s get to the most interesting part, which is what’s under the hood of this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. While the largest engine you could get under the hood of a factory first-generation Camaro was a nice 427ci V8, this car has gone a step further, packing a ZZ 454ci V8 crate motor, with Ram Jet fuel injection installed for good measure. A TKO 6-speed manual transmission with a reportedly new clutch sends power rearwards to a 9-inch Ford rear axle with 4:10 gears. The car has been Mini Tubbed by Art Morrison, and also features Hydra Boost 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes for enhanced stopping power. Need we say more? Grab it before someone else does!
