This 1968 Camaro was brought to us after sitting in a barn since 1984.
After 22 years, we aired up the tires and rolled her onto a trailer for a
makeover. The numbers matching 327 was totally locked up, so it was pulled
and overhauled. Painted bright orange again, the engine was connected to
the original 3 speed manual transmission, which was given a new clutch kit.
The interior received a new headliner, carpet, package tray, and trim pieces.
The original seats and doorpanels were in great shape. This car still had
polyester bias-ply tires (even the spare) with the original hubcaps - so we left
them on the car for that old original look. The last owner had repainted
the car the original Ivy Gold, so we put all the exterior emblems back on,
buffed the paint, and she was ready to go. For a car that sat a long time
waiting for a revival, this car had no rust anywhere - she was completely intact
- the factory air-conditioning even works. Check out these pictures of a
real classic:
