Default 1968 Camaro Convertible.....

I am posting this for a close friend of mine who must sell this beautiful, solid, well maintained, 1968 Camaro Convertible, for a price that will sell quick. He has gone through a serious of strokes, and not able to keep the car.

PRICE $27,500.













It’s in good shape, compared to most this could be very much a show car (he did win a couple of small trophies from local shows). This is a Camaro that can be driven and shown . It had a frame up restore in 2003, and really never driven hard, it was babied. The owner has all the details from when the car was purchased for the owner who did the professional restoration in July 2011 to current 2016 work (ALL receipts on a spreadsheet), if you need to see that.

Main points:
- New Shocks, repaired exhaust system, new Valve gasket, tons of new hoses in 2014
- Good paint job, but is 12 years old but still great shape Burgundy red with a black Vinyl top and boot.
- The original 327 engine was replaced with a 350 in April 2012 (has about 6K miles driven since) - added a Rochester Quadrajet 4BBL , a little earlier – October 2011
- Rebadged as a 350.
- Rebuilt but original Automatic Transmission in Feb 2012 (was the 2nd rebuild)
- New Convertible top and boot in July 2011
- Interior is great, black vinyl all around. Dash is great, original from what I can tell, seats are great.
- All electrical work is in good shape – no issues – lights/Dash/radio, etc
- Rear Drum Brakes are being worked on this week – they are replacing the Right rear Drum completely.

Car is in great shape. I think this car will go fast, I am posting here first before I post other places.

Nice vehicle but not exactly a concours restoration. Steering wheel reminds me of a 70's gold chain - open shirt - gum smacking 1/2 hour upgrade.

Seriously, this wheel from year one would really make the interior look OEM.

Not my car, and I agree. But for the price asking for this car, the steering wheel is minor.
