1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Description

Looking for a super sharp cruiser that you can parade down Main Street and park at local cruise nights? Looking for a cool piece of Americana that'll turn heads anywhere it goes? A professionally built classic that delivers on every level, this sweet Camaro is the kind of car that's simply a blast to own! Backing 6.2 liters of smooth Chevrolet Performance LS3 with Tremec cogs, a RideTech suspension and vivid aesthetics, this fully sorted panther draws big crowds and big compliments. And if you're looking for an impressive muscle car that'll fare well on the road AND at the show, it's the answer to your car guy dreams!

THE ART OF GRAYSCALE

The beneficiary of a professional, ground-up restoration that stripped its solid profile completely bare, this slick F1 is the product of cool patience and acute craftsmanship. Those skills shine bright under deep Chrysler Granite Metallic two-stage. And that pigment provides an excellent base for tight Haartz cloth and traditional Chevy Rally Stripes. At the front of those stripes, a strong Rally Sport grille hangs Detroit Speed headlights between a polished bumper, a shaved header, a familiar Rally Sport valance and a requisite D80 chin spoiler. At the top of that grille, a stylish Cowl Induction Hood leads stainless-trimmed glass that's cleared by polished wipers. At the sides of that hood, F2 mirrors and traditional door handles join tasteful marker lamps to decorate tidy panels. And at the back of the car, a second polished bumper reflects a Rally Sport fuel filler, Rally Sport taillights and a sporty D80 deck spoiler.

CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE LS3

Gaze into this Camaro's body-matched engine bay and you'll find 6.2 liters of small block fury! Officially known as the Chevrolet Performance LS376/480, that factory-engineered crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 495 horsepower and 473 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the block, a polished air tube funnels wind in to a proven GM throttle body, which feeds a lightweight GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style heads, which ride under familiar Corvette rail covers. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired LS Hot Cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing, the smooth mill funnels spent gases through Hooker Blackheart headers. There's a polished aluminum radiator that's slid in front of spry puller fans. Holley serpentine components spin lucid power steering beneath a modern AC compressor. And details like Holley mounts, a Holley oil pan and GM engine management join an Optima battery, a polished master cylinder and polished Eddie Motorsports hood supports to enhance both this Chevy's form and function.

BETTER THROUGH TIME

Park this classic on a lift and you'll find solid, Satin Black floorpans that provide a fitting backdrop for fresh, first rate hardware. Behind the buff small block, a tough Tremec 6-speed has been enhanced with Holley mounts, an LS7 clutch and Tick Performance Level 2 upgrades. That gearbox twists power to a fresh Ford 9-inch that's built with big, 3.89 gears. Beneath that axle, a RideTech 4-link employs tubular control arms and Fox coil-over-shocks. That clip gets led by a RideTech front-half, which cages tall spindles and a GTA steering box behind a big sway bar, two more Fox coil-overs and more tubular control arms. At the corners of that suspension, hydroboosted CPP Big Brake calipers squeeze a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned Hooker Blackheart headers into Hooker Blackheart mufflers, which, along with polished tips and an X-shaped crossover, are strung in a web of aluminized pipes. And torque transitions through attractive US Mags Ramblers, which spin 235/40ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports in front of 255/40ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports.

CUSTOM TRIMMINGS

Pop the doors and you'll find a stylish custom interior that incorporates thoughtful upgrades into a sea of vintage flash. Front and center, heavily bolstered TMI buckets join a recovered GM bench. In front of those seats, a TMI-capped dash stretches leather and suede across Vintage Air conditioning, New Vintage USA telemetry and modern Pioneer audio. Below that dash, a full-length TMI console frames a short shifter. Premium carpet traces a billet accelerator pedal on its way to sculpted TMI side panels, which trace billet cranks and handles. And in front of the driver, a monochromatic Momo Tuner wheel laps a tilting column.

This thoroughly massaged Chevy is one of the coolest cruisers on the planet! As it sits, the car offers the best of both worlds: a fully restored classic, and a sweet muscle car that's virtually guaranteed to hold its appeal. Call your friends at RK Motors Charlotte and kick 2021 off right!
