1968 Chevrolet Camaro

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this striking 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 Tribute.Despite the buzz around skyrocketing values and garage queen status, not every first-generation Camaro is locked away as untouchable treasure. These cars remain some of the most enjoyable classics to own, drive, and modify - with unmatched parts support and a passionate community behind them. The Camaros iconic presence turns heads everywhere it goes, and few muscle cars strike a balance between performance and style quite like this one.This 1968 SS396 tribute was built for the road. Featuring a big block V8, 4-speed manual transmission, and a tasteful restoration, this car blends raw power with refined craftsmanship. While its exact SS lineage cant be confirmed, what matters is how convincingly and confidently it delivers that SS396 experience today.Originally Butternut Yellow, this car now gleams in an electric blue finish - somewhere between Fathom Blue and Lemans Blue - accented by crisp white SS stripes under the clearcoat. The bodywork is clean and eye catching, recently wet-sanded and polished to a deep, high-gloss shine. Panel fit is strong, and the cars full disassembly during paint is evident in the overall quality of the finish.The chrome and stainless trim are in great shape, with well-fitted simulated hood vents and polished drip rails. The emblems, lenses, and glass all present beautifully. This isnt just a repaint - its a restoration that respects the Camaros design and takes it to the next level.Under the hood is a well-built big block V8 dressed in L78 SS396 style, combining period-correct aesthetics with modern street manners. A hydraulic cam helps ensure smooth starts, easy idle, and strong, reliable power on pump gas. Its the kind of setup that lets you enjoy muscle car thrills without the hassle.Power is sent through a 4-speed manual transmission topped with a Hurst shifter for that unmistakable old-school mechanical feel. Out back, a tough 12-bolt rear end houses fresh 3.55 gears and an Eaton limited-slip differential, offering a strong balance of acceleration and highway cruising comfort.The chassis has been thoroughly sorted. All major mechanical systems - suspension, brakes, lines, and exhaust - have been rebuilt or replaced. While it wasnt over-restored underneath, everything is clean and road-ready. A new exhaust system delivers an aggressive tone without being overbearing. new tires wrap reproduction Rallye wheels, giving it the vintage look with fresh rubber.Inside, the black vinyl bucket seat interior is fully restored and tastefully updated with a factory-style center console featuring four integrated gauges, and a Tik-Tok Tachometer adds both function and retro flair. The upholstery, headliner, carpet, and dash all present beautifully, and the overall cockpit feel is focused and driver-oriented - just the way it should be.This Camaro hits all the right notes: big block power, a 4-speed you shift yourself, killer looks, and real drivability.
