1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS/RS Hardtop 2-Door 5.7L

If you've ever imagined yourself driving a 60s muscle car with all they had to offer and more, this is it! It doesn't get better than this. All this car needs is a driver, a new home. I cared and loved the car with all I had. I spent numerous hours, days, researching and restoring it. I better leave my bank account out of this as I really don't want to think about how much money I really spent to bring the car to it's today's appearance and performance. It was a learning curve. Came with lots of headaches, figuring things out, but at the end it all paid off. Lots of money were spent on the build, but if you want to get it right, there are no shortcuts. I was approached to have the car in a magazine few times and also featured in a show here in L.A. I never accepted as I built the car for myself to enjoy it, not to show off. And of course, I was afraid it might disappear and end up on the other side of the world. It's a fast car. I had 3 people inside and it was spinning tires in the 4th gear so I asked the shop to adjust it, to lower the hp. Few turns with the screwdriver and timing adjustment will bring the beast back to it's full potential. I'll refuse to sell this car to any kid that just wants to show off and will end up totaling the car, no matter how much do they offer. This car is about the Camaro legacy, not about the numbers. You see lots off protouring cars, they are way too far from the originals. This car should end up with an owner who truly appreciates the american muscle and will keep the legacy alive.
The built:
This car was built to stay as close to original /look/ as possible. Improvements were made where necessary. No number matching, RS Headlights left as originally designed being vacuum. The vacuum hoses were replaced and installed was a new front grill with headlight doors. The car handles great with Polyurethane bushings all over and solid subframe bushings. Detroit Speed subframe connectors were added, hotchkis sport front and rear suspension with front and rear sway bars.

The car was painted 3.5 years ago. There's a very small hairline crack in the paint above the driver side door on the top. It can be easily fixed at anypaint shop. I just never found it necessary to do it as it really doesn't make much difference as it's hardly noticeable.
