1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro-Touring Is a Gem, Asking Price Might Be Too Much

Because early generation Camaros are so abundant, there’s no shortage of them on the open market in various guises: close to stock, tuned, restored, restomodded, and so on. Depending on who worked on them and how much was invested, these revived Camaros cover a wide range of expectations, including financial ones.

Although most of them are priced within what most people would consider an affordable range, there are exceptions. We talked about one of them earlier this week, a pitch-black 1969 muscle car that is for sale for quite some time for $139,900. But somehow, we managed to find an even more expensive one.

This build here is based on a 1968 Chevy Camaro and by all intents and purposes is a sight to behold, not to mention it has been mechanically upgraded to fit the pro-touring definition.

Packing a 6.2-liter V8 under the hood, linked to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, the car has a power output rated at 464 hp.

But most importantly, it mixes some of the best suspension hardware the custom industry has to offer into one insane package, pairing a Mustang independent rear suspension with a Corvette independent front one.

The design of the muscle car is certainly at the top of the list when it comes to our favorite builds of this kind. No unnecessary modifications have been made - there’s not even a cowl-induction hood – and the things that were added (Z/28 badging over a Rally Sport trim) fit the build just fine. And so do the combination of Charcoal Metallic and Root Beer Metallic paints over 20-inch Foose wheels.

So, it looks great, probably drives even better, but is it worth the price? The Camaro is listed for sale, and the garage selling it is asking $155,900. Or you could choose to go for a ten-year installment plan of around $1,400 per month plus a 20 percent down payment.
