Gateway Classic Cars of Philadelphia is proud to digitally present this 1968 Camaro Convertible British Green Resto-Mod, a timeless classic that's a true embodiment of American muscle.
1968 Camaro and 1 of just 1800 convertibles built in the one-year-only color of British Racing Green. Owner states it has been said to be all original throughout the entire drive train, which is uncommon to find intact on a Gen-1 Camaro. Never hit car retaining all its original sheet metal, dated glass, chrome trim, etc. down to its spare tire. Arizona car all its life and a rust-free survivor. Received a full ground-up restoration, then upgraded to a true resto-mod, while retaining its core originality and stock appearance. Refinements such as modern suspension, braking, steering, cooling, structural reinforcements, and sound deadening materials all help to achieve a tight and secure ride feel with great road handling for a more pleasurable, stress free, and modernized performing driving experience. Higher-end level PG paint is great, with a painted white bumblebee front stripe. Nice build, no budget parts and only the highest quality throughout. Interesting to note this is the same color combination as the 1 of 1 historical 1968 COPO Camaro convertible.
Original matching numbers 327 engine fully rebuilt to 365 HP by well-known race engine builder Tommy Martino Racing in Wall Twp., NJ.
