This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS is equipped with a 396ci L34 V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in teal blue with matching blue vinyl upholstery. Notable features include an SS-style hood with raised simulated air intakes, 15″ Rally wheels, Hooker headers, a dual exhaust system, an aftermarket AM/FM radio, and a Hurst shifter. Restoration work in 2005 and 2006 included rebuilding the transmission, balancing the flywheel, and replacing numerous components such as wheels, emblems, window glass, brakes, shocks, springs, dash pad, carpet, and door sills. Currently, the car is listed for sale in Canada through dealer consignment, complete with refurbishment documentation and a clean Alberta registration.
Originally factory-painted in teal blue, the exterior features a nose stripe, SS-style hood, front spoiler, driver-side mirror, rear spoiler, and chrome bumpers. In 2006, a variety of exterior elements, including the grille, side mirror, fender emblems, hood louvers, and light lenses, were replaced. However, there are rust bubbles present on the right rear wheel arch.
The replacement 15″ Rally-style wheels are fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, sized 205/60 at the front and 245/60 at the rear. The braking system consists of front and rear drum brakes, with several components, such as the brake booster, master cylinder, lines, and rear drums, replaced in 2006. The hand brake was also adjusted in 2024.
Inside, the cabin is outfitted with blue vinyl front bucket seats and a rear bench, alongside a center console, aftermarket AM/FM radio, and Hurst shifter. In 2006, various interior elements, including the dashboard, carpeting, sun visors, rearview mirror, and sill plates, were replaced.
Instrumentation features a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The odometer, which reads 33k miles, had its speedometer cable replaced in 2006, but the total mileage is unknown.
The 396ci L34 V8 engine, originally rated at 350 horsepower, received Hooker headers in 2006. Additional updates included a new exhaust system, air cleaner, valve covers, and more. In preparation for sale, the oil pan was resealed and an oil change was performed.
The car’s engine stamping shows the MX suffix, indicating a 350-horsepower, 396ci V8 mated to a manual transmission, which was rebuilt in 2005.
