350-Powered 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 5-Speed

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible has undergone significant refurbishment and modifications, including a sleek silver repaint and the installation of a 350ci V8 engine paired with a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Since the seller acquired the car in 2017, additional upgrades have been made, such as Viking front coilovers, rear shocks, a front disc brake conversion, power steering, a new red convertible top, and a reupholstered red leather interior. Notable features include a rear spoiler, Foose 18″ wheels, a center console, and a heater. The vehicle is now available with partial service records and comes with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

Originally finished in Ermine White, the car’s body was repainted silver in 2019, and a new red convertible soft top was added in 2020. Exterior details also include dual side mirrors, a rear spoiler, and chrome bumpers. The seller mentions two paint imperfections on the left-front fender and a hole in the passenger fender from a previously installed antenna.

Chrome Foose 18″ wheels are fitted with a combination of 235/40 front and 255/40 rear Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS and BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tires, with a matching spare in the trunk. The Camaro features power steering, with braking provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Under current ownership, Viking front coilovers and rear shocks have been installed.

Inside, the cabin showcases replacement Procar front bucket seats and a rear bench, both reupholstered in red leather in 2020. During this time, the rear seat pads and foam were also replaced, along with the shift boot, door panels, and carpets, all color-matched. Camaro-branded floor mats, a center console with cupholders, metal pedals, a heater, and lap belts complete the interior.

The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and a column-mounted tachometer, with additional Sunpro gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure positioned ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 8,000 miles, with about 3,200 miles added by the current owner; however, total mileage is unknown.

The 350 V8 engine, installed by a previous owner in 2017, features an exhaust system with tubular headers and stainless steel piping, ending in dual mufflers.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO 5-Speed transmission and a 12-bolt rear end equipped with Dana axles and a 3.55:1 Positraction differential.
