1968 Chevrolet Camaro Ss on 2040-cars
Los Gatos, California, United States
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Big Block with RS package.
Features include hidden headlights, and reverse lights below the bumper, as well as other trim options. This RS/SS
package included the best of available features: a more powerful engine and the desirable trimmings of an RS.
The RS is an appearance package “Rally Sport”, that included hidden headlights and body side bright trim with
front signals down low.
The SS is a performance package, title stands for Super Sport. Performance features include higher hp engine, Turbo
hydro transmission, positive traction 12-bolt rear, and heavy duty suspension.
The exterior is refinished with the factory color, British Racing Green. A rare color, available for a limited time
in 1968 only. A few minor chips are noted on the sides and some crazing can be noted particularly on rear spoiler.
An easy fix and you have perfect paint. The white vinyl top (rare option) keeps the car cool and is in good
condition. RS option hidden headlights are functioning and are framed above by the scallop stripe stretching across
the hood on the front edge. This 1968 only stripe makes its way rearward where it dies at doors edge in a white
spear. Factory rally wheel trim and hubcaps are framed by Goodyear Tires. The SS gas cap is planted firmly in the
center of the rear panel. Also seen are nicely preserved and shiny trimmings around the wheel wells and rockers.
Interior:
Black stitched vinyl bucket seats with black piping highlighting, in great condition in front, and a matching motif
rear bench seat makes up the seating arrangement. All seats are in showroom condition. A center console shows an
automatic stirrup shift grab handle that is designed right out of the 60's. The forward console and center dash
is surrounded by walnut wood trim. This wood works its way upward to where the radio and temp sliders are located.
Deep round angled analog gauges create the gauge cluster in front of the original RS steering wheel. Accessory
gauges monitor temperature and oil pressure. Black carpet in great clean condition and is covered by badged rubber
floor mats in black.
Drivetrain:
A GM orange block, heads and intake manifold are flanked by shiny chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. The
detailed filter rests atop and is showing in 396ci L35 Engine ID. This engine is an original 1968 Camaro “MW”
code designating it’s 325hp preparation. It has a new Holley 4bbl carburetor on top with electric choke for
flawless operation. A 3-speed automatic TH400 is behind this monster mill and it throws power rearward to a 12-bolt
3.08 posi rear axle. Very nice presentation under this hood for this RS-SS.
Undercarriage:
Underside is refinished to original colors and specifications, and no rust is present. Power front disc brakes,
rear power drums, along with a dual exhaust system are seen all in good condition. Looking good, the underneath is
clean, just like the topside. Independent coil springs provide the ride for the front and multi-leafs do the same
for the rear.
Drive-Ability:
A very solid and fun driver, quick starter, smooth shifter, and some good grabby brakes. The car rides smoothly and
accelerating is a snap. The tires do break loose easy under aggressive acceleration. The interior is spacious.
It's ready to go for a spin in in a moments notice and definitely grabs peoples attention!
A beautiful first generation pony car, completely restored, with both RS option and SS package. And some great
factory options too. All surfaces. interior and exterior are good to go, and in good working condition. Noteworthy
is the desirability of a true big block Camaro that retains an original Camaro “MW” engine.

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019
Tue, Nov 6 2018As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
