Classic Car Overview

Awesome 1968 Camaro SS396. Freshly built MQ-code L78 396/375 horsepower with 4-speed. Beautiful and unusual Sequoia Green paint. Detailed undercarriage, new interior. Nicely documented. A cool big block Camaro with a lot of power behind it.

Some of our favorite cars are those that combine a subtle look with big firepower under the hood, and this pretty 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 is no exception. In photos, the paint looks charcoal gray, but there s definitely a hint of green to it hence the name Sequoia Green. It s unusual but correct as code V is this car s original color. Underneath, there s some very straight bodywork that shows rather well, and as an early production 68, it has the nose stripe that blends into the side spear for a unique look that ll definitely stand out. Panel gaps are quite good all around and we re happy to see that the car wears an original-style hood with the simulated chrome velocity stacks still one of the cooler designs of the era. We believe the quarters have been replaced but the work was expertly done and the car fits together beautifully with no signs of hack work or amateur patching. Correct badges were fitted wherever they were needed, and we love the industrial look of a Camaro without the ubiquitous ducktail spoiler. This one just looks mean and purposeful. And as a bonus, all the lighting is LED nice!

Inside, most of the interior furnishings are new, including the seat covers, carpets, and door panels. There s a woodgrained steering wheel that warms up the otherwise all-black driver s compartment, and enthusiasts will be pleased to see options like a tilt steering column, a factory tick-tock-tach, and auxiliary gauges down on the center console. There s also a Hurst shifter with cue ball knob for the Muncie 4-speed underneath, and it racks through the gears like a bolt-action rifle. There s also a fresh A/C and heater system from Vintage Air that uses R134a refrigerant for easy maintenance in the future (note that the original heater components are included). There s also a digital AM/FM stereo with speakers in the custom kick panels that provide a neatly integrated look. The car is equipped with unusual factory shoulder belts, which were a rare option in 1968, and it appears that most of the weather seals were replaced during the build so it seals up well. In back there s a super clean trunk with correct spatter paint and a new mat to make it look tidy.

The engine is a correct MQ-coded 396 cubic inch V8, and the MQ suffix code decodes to a 1968 L78 with 375 horsepower and a 4-speed manual transmission. With a fresh rebuild by the experts at Mongoose Motorsports (receipts accompany the car), it probably grunts out at least that much today. A few modifications help, including an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, a set of beautiful long-tube headers, and a big 4-barrel carburetor on top. It wears correct Chevy Orange paint and proper 375 horsepower decals so it looks the part of a Camaro powerplant. Other upgrades include a dual power master cylinder for the front disc brakes, a large aluminum radiator, a polished A/C compressor, and a new alternator. Underneath, it s quite clean with super solid floors, subframe connectors, and all-new lines for fuel and brakes. The Muncie 4-speed feeds a 12-bolt rear end with what we believe are 3.42 gears inside, which are a nice combination of acceleration and easy cruising on the highway. You ll also find new shocks, a fresh gas tank out back, and a rumbling dual exhaust system with stainless Magnaflow mufflers. And it gets just the right industrial look from 15-inch steel wheels painted body color and outfitted with dog dish hubcaps and 225/70/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials.

Documentation includes extensive receipts for the recent work, including the engine rebuild, as well as photos and details from previous owners.

We haven t seen many early Camaros that combine great looks, lots of comfort and convenience features, and a bulletproof big block powertrain. The awesome color combination is insanely appealing and it more than lives up to the billing with the built 396 under the hood. A Camaro that s a whole lot of fun to drive and show, ready to rock. Call today!
