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.

EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
