1968 Camaro SS L78 4 speed
 
I am offering this car here, to see if there would be any interest from the forum members before I go about marketing this car.

1968 Camaro SS. L78 396 / 375hp 4 speed. Factory installed engine and rear diff (BV 4.10 posi). Non original Muncie Transmission. Believed to be 25k original miles Grotto Blue with black standard interior. Documented with warranty book, Protect-O-Plate, and dealer order form. Also has original owners manual and owners manual bag. Beautiful ground up restoration completed in 2012 with many factory components.

Originally optioned with.........
-L78 396 / 375hp
-M21 Close ratio 4 speed
-BV 4.10 Positraction diff
-Disc brakes / power brakes
-Deep tone muffler
-Rediline tires (more on this later)

The car currently has some Day 2 liberties that are easily reversed back to stock.

Day 2 parts include.....
-Hurst shifter
-Scattershield
-Hooker Headers
-True dual exhaust with turbo mufflers
-Sun tach, oil pressure gauge, and temp gauge (with proper sender)
-Camshaft of unknown specs

MCACN Day 2 Gold Certified. Spectacular BC/CC paint. Laser straight body with excellent body gaps. Awesome original interior (replacement carpet). Well finished, detailed, and maintained engine compartment and chassis.

The car is also provided with a complete, properly dated, and restored smog system (from Bill Hodel) including exhaust manifolds.

This car runs cool, drives straight, stops well, and runs HARD! Rear diff is quiet, trans upshifts and downshifts smooth, great clutch (no chatter).

I have recently contacted and conferred with the original owner. Super nice fellow who confirmed the car was delivered with redline tires. He special ordered this car in April of 68. He simply wanted the quickest car Chevrolet could offer him. He always had a daily driver thus, this car never saw daily duty. Owner history will be provided to the new owner. He suspects he had the car until 1975 and mileage was in the low teens. It is thought the second owner had the car from approximately 1976 until 2010 (unproven).

For additional information and honest description of what I see and how I feel about the car, do not hesitate to contact me. I'll be following up with plenty more detailed pics.

Thanks for your consideration,
Tim

At a minimum, the 3rd was. that is the fellow who restored the car. To the OO's recollection, the car was sold locally. Certainly, that fellow could have moved. Still trying to research. The OO is going back to see if he has anything that may provide some info.

My first impression too. Grotto Blue, sounds dull and unexciting. What a surprise to open the link..SUPER nice color, almost like Carolina Blue.
I prefer the '67's because of the side markers and vent windows, but WOW, WOW, WOW, what a sweet Camaro...:drool:
Someone is going to be a very lucky person to own that car.
