This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible is a standout example of a true American muscle car, combining factory Super Sport specification with the unmistakable presence of a big-block 396 V8 and TH400 automatic transmission. Finished in classic open-top form, this Camaro delivers effortless performance and relaxed drivability, making it equally suited to spirited cruising or laid-back summer drives.
Equipped with power steering, the car is exceptionally easy to drive, reinforcing its appeal as a usable and enjoyable classic rather than a static showpiece. Notably, the car retains a high level of originality, including the original smog (air injection) pump, a detail appreciated by knowledgeable enthusiasts and a strong indicator of authenticity.
The current owner has owned the car for 12 years, during which time it has resided in Cromwell, remaining well cared for and sparingly used. The power-operated convertible roof is straightforward to operate, raising or lowering in just a few minutes. The car was originally purchased from Streetside Classics in the USA and is accompanied by a large photo album documenting a comprehensive restoration completed prior to import, along with the Protect-O-Plate.
The Camaro underwent a full chassis-off restoration in the 1980s and continues to present exceptionally well today. It is supplied with the standard wheels and a substantial folder of documentation, including rebuild records and receipts, adding confidence and provenance for the next owner.
