1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible

The first generation Camaro is one of the great American classics, with timeless styling that still draws stares almost 60 years later. The graceful curves echo British and Italian sportscars, but the power is pure American muscle. This 1968 Camaro convertible was built in Norwood, Ohio in September, 1968--the second year of the first-generation muscle car built by Chevrolet to "kill and eat" Ford Mustangs, according to a Chevrolet executive. The car is completely sorted, ready for cruising -- summer days, drive-ins, car shows and country roads top-down fun. If you are looking for that Camaro you always wanted, ready to drive anywhere with no worries or wrenching required, this is the one.
It is badged as an SS model with nearly all the SS features, but handles and performs much better than the factory original SS or Z28, with more horsepower and better suspension. The original color, Island Teal Poly, is rare on Camaros, a real show-stopper that dazzles on a sunny day. The original 327 c.i.d. V8 was recently replaced with a new Chevrolet Performance High Output 350 c.i.d /357 HP, with fewer than 8,000 miles on the road. Other upgrades in 2022-23:
