"Long time stored, Barn Find" 1968 Camaro 4 Speed 350 PS 12 Bolt

Chevrolet Camaro 1968 Description

This one family car (have title showing this) has been stored and in a garage for up to the last 20 years. It is in 'unmolested' condition. It has the original interior which is in good shape without rips in the seats. It is an ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR Los Angeles for which the original black plate is still in the clean trunk. The trunk is in great shape and so are the inner quarter panels; doesn't look to have ever been wrecked. I personally have not seen a body this clean on an unrestored early Camaro... since the 80s. These cars are notorious for having rotten out quarter panels fenders trunk floors and doors (etc) that have been repaired or replaced. I haven't seen any aftermarket sheetmetal panels on it whatsoever. I looked for body filler and took a magnet to it good solid metal. You will be very challenged in finding one like this for this price. I do not see any body rot holes in the body at all save for the right front fender which has one small hole at the wheel lip and some pinholing beginning on the lower section near the door. I do not see any holes in the trunk quarters or anywhere else! This is a true FIND! Don't bother buying a different one that you have to buy 8 body panels for this one is SOLID!!! The Transmission is the desirable 4 speed with the original console still intact. Transmission shifts through all gears clutch operates fine. I believe the engine is a Four Bolt Main 350 cubic inch (Code is TYW) with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor camel hump heads and original style intake and unmodified exhaust manifolds. Came factory equipped with Power Steering original V8 car. Car has original grill hood rally wheels. Rear axle is a 12 bolt and it has multi leaf rear springs. Glass is all in good shape without cracks. Windows roll up and down. Car is complete straight body. Engine starts right up and runs smooth. Brakes stop it power steering sounds good. Car runs and drives. If you are a SERIOUS buyer with cash in the bank then please by all means bid and win it! Reserve is conservative for what I've seen on here for Early Camaros. This is an EXCELLENT foundation to a very clean restoration for you or your client if you are a builder. I would suggest changing the fluids basic tuneup or maybe I'll just do all that for you before you get it!

History as I know it on this vehicle is as such:

A friend's neighbor had it in his family since 1969. It was purchased in California new or near new in 1969 and spent the majority of its life in CA. It spend a brief time in TN (2 years I believe) and then was brought back to CA and stored in a garage where it did not move for 10 years. We put clean gas in it a fresh charged battery and it fired right up! I have not seen any smoke coming out of the tailpipes!!! I was planning on rebuilding the carburetor and would be happy to for the buyer unless you have other plans for the engine compartment (?) It does currently run fine and will idle. It has not stalled on me at all. Also has an upgraded four core radiator. It has not overheated on me.

FYI in 1968 there were no indicators to prove if a camaro was an SS from the data plate. Original color was a silver green I believe the same as mountain green. 712 trim code black interior had a black vinyl top.

I have driven it around the block in the neighborhood a few times and other than a small exhaust leak in the right side pipe I have no complaints. Typical drum brakes with a bit of pull in the front. Suspension felt good and solid to me.
