This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS coupe was refurbished by Camaro Specialties in 1998. The car is powered by a 396ci L89 V8 linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a 4.56:1 Positraction differential, and it is finished in British Green over black vinyl. Equipment includes a center console, an AM radio, bucket seats, SS stripes and badging, front and rear spoilers, front disc brakes, and 14″ Rally wheels as well as an aluminum intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads.
The 396ci V8 was factory equipped with an aluminum intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and aluminum cylinder heads for a rating of 375 horsepower when new. The engine was rebuilt in 1997, at which time it was bored .030″ over and fitted with a COMP Cams camshaft. The engine stamping is pictured. The MT suffix code corresponds with a 396ci L89 V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with an optional 4.56:1 Positraction differential.
The body was finished from the factory in British Green, and it was repainted during the late-90s refurbishment at Camaro Specialties. Features include an SS-style hood with raised simulated air intakes, a driver-side mirror, SS badging, front and rear spoilers, and chrome bumpers.
The 14″ Rally wheels are mounted with reproduction F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports redline tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl along with coordinated carpets and door panels as well as woodgrain trim on the center console. Interior appointments include a Muncie shifter, an AM radio, a heater, and lap belts.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and an analog clock, while auxiliary gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure are mounted to the center console.
The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles.
