1968 Chevrolet Camaro SSDo you have the skills to handle this much American muscle? In 1968 this original SS Camaro was purchased in North East, PA with the intention of driving it 1/4 mile at a time. He immediately voided the factory warranty, modifying & reinforcing where necessary to make a wicked drag-racing machine. Little did he know at the time that this was only the first chapter in the story of this Camaro.During its drag-racing years it was sold once; the third & current owner picked it up from a family member and hoped to restore it. Finding contact with the original owner, he was able to gather original parts taken off in the late 60's. Altogether the restoration took three years; stripped down into individual pieces and cleaned, painted or replaced.Hoping to strike a balance between modern engineering and respect for the classic nature of American muscle, this restoration incorporates the perfect amount of technology to make the car a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. Dakota Digital was given the original odometer from when they adjusted the digital gauge to reflect the car's real mileage. There are only 19,800 original miles on this car and the original gauge cluster is included in the sale.Since the restoration was completed the car has added less than 1,000 miles. The car was cleaned thoroughly before leaving and after returning from each cruise. This meticulous care maintains an immaculate, showroom appearance.Underneath the hood is a 2007 Z06 LS7 dyno-tuned to 500whp by Trevor Hutter and a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual with a McLeod clutch. It has Hutter Race Engines CNC ported heads and competition cam. The front suspension is from Ridetech with True-Turn for larger wheels, and the rear is a 4-link from Ridetech. A Currie fabricated 9' rear end with 4:10 gears is built with power in mind, a fan favorite for drag-racing. Billet Specialties wheels lay down the rubber, 18x9 in the front and 18x11 in the rear. Custom 4' mini-tubs in the rear made room for the tires.. but what made room for the tubs? The original backseat rails were modified such that the seats still fit with the 4' tubs. GM fuel injectors work with a Holley fuel pump and Holley Terminator to keep the beast firing in sequence. A Griffen radiator with an electric fan provides the cooling for all that power. The electronics are connected with an American Auto wire harness.Need to pump the brakes? Willwood 6-piston front brakes are a premium choice for their performance, 4-piston Willwoods round out the rear. Vintage air A/C blows cold, and you'll be surprised to see that although the gauge cluster has been modernized, the original dashboard is still present. Still think you can handle it?
