This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro coupe underwent a restoration under previous ownership, with significant upgrades including the installation of a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission following its 2020 purchase by the current owner. The car is finished in Cosmic Blue and features a lowered suspension with Viking adjustable coilovers, tubular front control arms, a four-link rear setup, and a 9″ rear end with a limited-slip differential. The interior has been reupholstered in black microsuede, equipped with Corbeau front bucket seats, a roll bar, a center console, Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air climate control, and a Kenwood touchscreen head unit with a rearview camera. Additional features include long-tube headers, an aluminum radiator, an Elite Engineering catch can, a Sparco steering wheel, and bronze 18″ Forgeline wheels with Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. The seller is offering this Camaro on behalf of the current owner with service records and a clean California title.
The body was repainted in Cosmic Blue during refurbishment, featuring front and rear spoilers, a body-color rear bumper, a cowl induction hood, and LED taillights, with close-up photos of the finish and trim available in the gallery.
The car’s lowered suspension includes Viking adjustable coilovers, tubular front control arms, a four-link rear setup with a panhard rod, power steering, traction bars, subframe connectors, and an aftermarket crossmember.
Bronze 18″ Forgeline wheels with polished lips are fitted with 245/45 front and 335/30 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Rival tires. Braking comes from hydroboosted Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers in black, mounted over drilled and slotted rotors.
The black microsuede interior covers the dash pad, center console, doors, interior panels, Corbeau front bucket seats, and rear bench. RJS restraints are attached to a harness bar within the half-cage. The car also includes Vintage Air climate control, an aftermarket shifter, a rearview camera, and a Kenwood touchscreen head unit with a custom audio system. Dynamat sound-deadening material is installed under the interior panels and carpets.
The Sparco steering wheel, trimmed in microsuede, is mounted on a tilting column with a quick-release mechanism. Dakota Digital instrumentation replaces the factory gauges, and the digital odometer shows 248 miles, though the total mileage is unknown.
The 6.2-liter LS376/480 crate V8 engine includes an Elite Engineering catch can, an aluminum radiator, and a cold-air intake, with the fuel tank, pump, and lines replaced during refurbishment.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission with a McLeod clutch kit, connected to a 9″ rear end with a limited-slip differential. The exhaust system features long-tube headers, an H-pipe midsection, and Borla mufflers.
