What a gorgeous '68 Camaro with the Rally Sport-Super Sport features and colors you just don't see often on a Camaro. It looks good and there's also raging 454 under the hood hooked to a 4-speed and a 4.10 posi! Driving it is a rush; if they don't see you coming they will hear you! It's right out of Georgia and has a clean body.

EXTERIOR: This color combo is striking! I'm absolutely in love with the bright and glossy Ermine white paint that contrasts so nicely against the SS stripe and interior. The cowl hood and spoilers really enhance the profile nicely. This is an RS/SS car, so it comes with all the trimmings like hideaway headlights, blacked out tail panel, spoilers, and 396 badging. It's also equipped with the optional moldings on top of the doors and bumper guards that I'm a big fan of. The chrome has a lustrous shine to it including the fresh looking bumpers with bumper guards. The front and rear glass has been replaced and the remaining glass looks of the original but in very nice shape. It is equipped with staggered rally rims wrapped in fat radial tires that give it a great stance.

INTERIOR: This is a nicely appointed deluxe interior! The deluxe interior includes upgraded upholstery which is brand new, molded door panels that are in very good shape, and woodgrain trim. The low back bucket seats have a center console that's equipped with optional gauges, and of course the chrome Hurst 4 speed shifter. The dash pad was replaced, and the remainder of the dash nicely painted satin black. It's equipped with the original speedometer and Tik Toc Tachometer. It also has the original heater control panel a radio delete plate and a deluxe wheel. Down on the floor the carpeting looks fresh, it has reproduction floormats and a complete set of gM seatbelts. overhead the sun visors, rear shelf, and headliner look fresh. It has a working dome light.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big engine in a little car, you got to love it! This 454 has some performance upgrades including a Holley double pumper carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold and Hedmann headers. All the components also look fresh like the fuel pump, alternator, wiper motor etc. It has optional power steering and brakes; it has a correct cadmium plated booster. The hoses and wires are fresh as well. The cooling system has been upgraded with a new looking radiator and clutch fan but is also equipped with a front mounted electric fan to keep the engine extra happy. The bay is nicely dressed in a chrome air cleaner and valve covers too. The underside of the cowl induction hood has been neatly painted satin black and is complete with insulation. The fender wells and firewall are also painted black and it's complete with the original trim tag. Everything is hooked up including the horns and even the squirters.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick and shiny just like the body. The weatherstrip and rubber stoppers have been replaced. All the pan metal is nice and solid with a neatly applied spatter finish paint, and it's finished off with a rubber mat that fits very nicely.

UNDERSIDE: The underside of this car looks great with a full ground up restoration! In front, the steering and suspension was rebuilt. It has new springs and upgraded KYB gas shocks. In the back traction bars were added and the shocks look fresh too. It has all new front disc brake conversion. Also new lines all the way around and the emergency brake cable. Nice looking long tube headers lead to a fully replaced dual exhaust system. The fuel tank and hanging straps were also replaced. Looking up at the monstrous 454 cubic inch engine everything looks fresh including the starter. The Muncie four-speed manual transmission and Hurst linkage also looks good and has a new trans mount. In back is a factory 4.10 posi 12 bolt! The floors look original, nice and solid and were freshened up with neatly applied black paint.

SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and our shop installed a new backup switch, replaced the rear u-joint, repaired the headlight wiring, replaced the horns, lubed the heater and AC cables, replaced the volt gauge, replaced the headlight module, and adjusted the window tracks.

This is a totally cool cruiser that's begging to be driven! It's a very rare combo of colors on an RS/SS with some real muscle. Anyplace you go you'll definitely be turning heads and getting thumbs up in this quintessential muscle car!
