1968 brought the world the first refinements for the Camaro, though the styling improvements were subtle, to say the least, and included oval running lights on non-RS models and side marker lights to meet government requirements.
The overall production was also increased a little bit as Chevrolet wanted to make sure it had enough Camaros for American buyers, so the company built over 235,000 units for MY 1968.
Out of them, more than 159,000 cars came in the base configuration, while the RS accounted for close to 41,000 units. Back in 1968, close to 28,000 people bought one, while the Z28 was obviously the rarest with approximately 7,200 units seeing the daylight.
The Camaro that you see here does come with an SS gas cap, but it’s actually a base model powered by a 327 engine paired with a TH350 automatic transmission.
The car looks fantastic, and while in most cases this is something we can say after a recent restoration, this Camaro’s tip-top shape is the result of proper care throughout its entire lifetime. Indeed, the previous owner made a few fixes and changed its color from yellow to blue, but as you can see for yourselves in the photos, everything has been preserved really well.
The current owner says the Camaro has spent the last two decades in storage and comes with only a few problems, such as a ding on the front header panel. There’s no radio or battery, and the mileage is currently unclear.
“The car has very little road time on it. The odometer says 30,311 miles. I assume it's 130,000... but it could very well be 30,000. I just don't know for sure so I'm assuming the worst,” eBay seller kwik73.
At this point, the car is listed for auction on eBay, and it has already received 55 bids. The price right now is a little over $19,000, but the reserve is yet to be met.
