Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, finished in Red over a Black interior. The first-generation body lines, chrome exterior trim, and performance-oriented appearance give this Camaro the unmistakable presence associated with Chevrolet's early muscle-car era.
Under the hood is a 427 CID V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. A Hurst shifter handles gear changes, putting the big-block power through a traditional manual drivetrain and adding another performance-focused touch inside the cabin.
The Camaro is equipped with power steering along with front disc brakes and rear drums. This combination adds assisted steering and the stopping capability of front discs while retaining a traditional rear drum setup.
Inside, the Black interior keeps things appropriately straightforward for a late-1960s muscle car. An AM radio provides a period-style touch, while the Hurst shifter complements the 4-speed manual transmission.
The exterior carries several recognizable performance-inspired details, including its aggressive front-end treatment, grille badging, chrome bumpers, and classic Camaro proportions.
The car's factory identification provides some additional background on its production. The Fisher Body cowl tag identifies Norwood, Ohio, as the body assembly plant and carries a 05C build date, corresponding to the third week of May 1968. The VIN also identifies Norwood as the assembly plant.
The 1968 model year was only the Camaro's second year of production, making it an early example of Chevrolet's first-generation pony car. Changes for 1968 included the elimination of the previous year's front vent windows and the addition of side marker lights, giving the model several details that distinguish it from the 1967 Camaro.
With its 427 CID big-block, 4-speed manual transmission, Hurst shifter, front disc brakes, and classic first-generation styling, this Camaro brings together many of the features enthusiasts look for in a late-1960s American performance car.
