Desirable big-block 396 convertible with RS appearance package
New convertible hood fitted
Part of a private collection for several years
The Appeal
The 1968 Camaro RS/SS 396 convertible is one of the most coveted configurations of Chevrolet's first-generation pony car. Combining the muscular 396 cubic inch big-block V8 with the Rally Sport appearance package and open-top motoring, it is a specification that ticks every box for the American muscle car enthusiast. The 1968 model year also brought meaningful mechanical improvements, including multi-leaf rear springs and staggered rear shocks.
This car has been subjected to an extensive restoration encompassing the bodywork, mechanicals and interior. It has been part of a private collection for several years and is now offered due to a change in circumstances. With its manual transmission, big-block power and drop-top body style, this Camaro presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a thoroughly restored example of one of the great American convertibles.image.png3.55 MB
