Vehicle Detail
383 Stroker/450HPTurbo 350 Automatic Resto-mod, pro-touring, whatever you want to call them, early Camaros with modern drivelines are way cool. This 1968 Camaro SS has timeless good looks that will never go out of fashion, and thanks to a high-dollar makeover and a 383 cubic inch stroker motor, it has more punch than even an original big block SS396 would have been packing. Finished in stunning Inca Silver with black stripes and a black bucket seat interior, this Camaro is as potent on the street as it is on the show field. Few cars have endured the years better than the first-generation Camaro. It’s rare for a design to remain relevant for decades, but as the newest Camaro proves, there’s really nothing like these early F-bodies when you want a car that looks fast. This one has been expertly refinished, showing competent metalwork throughout, good gaps, and excellent panel alignment on the new quarters. The beautifully applied silver paint is two-stage urethane, and it’s deeper, shinier, and brighter than the factory stuff from 1968. As a result, it really shows off the Camaro’s curves—just look at the crisp fender line at the base of the C-pillar, a detail that’s often completely lost with other colors. This one also carries an original flat hood with those too-cool simulated velocity stacks, as well as a proper blacked-out SS grille and stripe. Look a little closer, and you’ll see that the badges on the front fenders accurately reflect the engine that lives within—a cool custom touch. Inside, the black bucket seat interior needs little upgrading, because the factory nailed it on the first pass. Fresh seat covers with original patterns and stitching cover the original buckets, and new carpets have been installed underneath some Camaro-logo rubber floor mats. The console is a must-have option, especially with an automatic because it includes the fabulous GM horseshoe shifter. This one also includes a variation on the original SS gauge package, a quartet of round Auto Meter gauges that include temperature, voltage, oil pressure and a matching clock, all tucked into a custom-made housing that looks almost OEM. The original AM radio still lives in the dash, but it has been augmented by a modern Secret Audio AM/FM/CD stereo system that preserves the original appearance but delivers contemporary entertainment. In back, the trunk is coated with correct spatter-finish paint and what might be the best-fitting Camaro trunk mat I’ve ever seen. The 383 badges on the fenders are no joke, because under the hood you’ll find a stroked small block in a beautifully finished engine bay. If you’re familiar with the 383, you know it loves to rev yet makes big block levels of torque in a relatively lightweight package. Continuing the monochromatic look of the body, the engine features chrome accents throughout, including the air cleaner, valve covers, a chrome alternator and bracket, and anything that wasn’t chromed received a coat of Inca Silver paint instead. Power steering and power brakes make this F-body a pleasure to drive, and the automatic transmission’s quick reflexes make it the ideal cruising partner. The floors look so good, I have to believe they’re new, but the satin black finish looks highly authentic. A new 2.5-inch dual exhaust system features Flowmaster mufflers that let the 383 sing, dumping out just behind the rear wheels as original. Rounding out this spectacular Camaro is a set of lovely 17-inch Coys wheels with matching Inca Silver centers on new 235/45/17 performance radials. Whatever your preference, this Camaro is proof that quality never goes out of style. V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a gorgeous hardtop body are the right ingredients, but few cars get it as right as this Camaro does. Sophisticated and nicely detailed, you’ll be delighted by the many custom touches, and the stout push in the back from the powerful 383 under the hood will make you grin like an escaped convict. Go ahead and allow yourself to dream about pulling into the next cruise night behind the wheel of this Camaro, then give us a call. You won’t be disappointed.
