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.

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled

Wed, Feb 11 2015

After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When 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.
