Beautiful 1968 Camaro Convertible with a book load of new parts and a ton of work done by the previous owner. I will kind of list all the stuff done to the car in sections, I'm sure I will forget some stuff because there is a lot.
Body: Beautiful 68 Matador Red paint with black reverse hockey stick stripe(68 only stripe). Paint looks fantastic and straight, stripe is buried in the clear and can't be felt by rubbing your hand over it. Have searched trunk and fenders and there are no patch panels on the car. Any rust removed was done with full panels. Floor is absolutely perfect with no rust, scale or anything whatsoever. Floor is finished off in a factory correct semi gloss black and looks great. Convertible top may be the original top for the car but looks great, back window is a little yellow and cloudy but you can see through it fine, no rips or tears in this top.
Suspension: Car is loaded with Hotchkis suspension parts. Upper and lower control arms(del alum bushings), rear leaf springs, rear sway bar that has a brace that mounts between the frame rails to make it more rigid, subframe connectors, floor support(convertibles only), front sway bar all parts are hotchkis. Also has qa1 coil over shocks in the front and Bilstein shocks in the rear. Car handles like a slot car!!
Wheels: Rocket Racing rocket boosters, 18's in the rear, 17's in the front. Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes and all new brake lines and booster.
Engine: GM crate zz4 engine with 400 hp hooked to a tremec 5 speed with new drive shaft hooked to a 10 bolt posi with a new eaton 3:73 posi unit. Shorty headers connected to flowmaster transverse muffler with aluminized exhaust. Stainless steel gas tank. No LEAKS on this car. Griffin radiator that never gets above 195 even in the Texas heat with the a/c on, cooled by a nice electric fan.
Interior: Late model Camaro front seats with original back seat. Deluxe door panels front and rear. Original seat belts in rear seat and late model Camaro seat belts in front. Vintage air A/C that blows ice cold. Factory looking am/fm radio that is actually one of those new ones that has ipod connections and is actually digital, can't tell it's not the original one, love this option. Dynomat throughout the whole interior. Windshield wiper doesn't work, sent motor back to DSE, they said motor good switch bad. Never cared since I don't drive it in the rain. Glass is original(except windshield) and looks like 43 year old convertible glass. All header panel chrome is new as are sunvisors. Tilt steering wheel with beautiful Flaming river steering wheel(horn works). All speedo, tach and gauges work. Gas gauge works on and off, might be a loose wire or bad sending unit, am including a new sending unit with the car. Never cared, just always kept plenty of gas in it. All other lights, turnsignals, marker lights, reverse lights, etc work perfectly. Rear lights are LED and light up super bright, look awesome, front head lights are projection style.
Ring Brothers: Has many ring brothers dress up accessories on the car that look like fine jewelry. Hood hinges, fender braces, astro ventilation covers, door strikers and SS hood louvers(billet aluminum).
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff but you get the picture. A really nice Camaro Convertible for a realistic reserve. Car isn't perfect but it will give you little things to tinker with. Car starts up like fuel injection and has never had any mechanical problems since I've been driving it, heck, pretty much everything is new!!!!! Interesting fact about the car, 68 was a leap year, this car was built the 5th week of February witch I guess would be the 29th. 712 interior, F2(island teal with a black top). 02E production date.
Thanks for looking

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
