BaT Auction: 364ci LS2–Powered 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 5-Speed

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro began life as a six-cylinder convertible produced in Norwood, Ohio, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in October 2020. The car was refurbished and modified by its previous owner in California approximately five years ago, with work said to have included exterior and interior color changes and replacement of the powertrain. Its 364ci LS2 V8 is paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, and additional modifications include a limited-slip rear end, 18″ wheels, adjustable coilovers, disc brakes, and aftermarket lighting. This modified Camaro is offered with a clean Pennsylvania title.

This car was originally finished in Butternut Yellow (Y) according to the trim tag, and it was repainted white during the refurbishment. Features include front and rear spoilers, HID headlights, SS-style trim, red stripes, and “LS2” graphics on the front fenders. According to the seller, the exterior was detailed in preparation for the sale.

Staggered-width 18″ Intro wheels installed by the seller feature a polished finish and are fitted with Firestone Firehawk tires measuring 245/45 in front and 265/45 at the rear. Wilwood disc brakes are fitted at all four corners, as are Global West suspension components.

Red upholstery with pleated inserts covers the front bucket seats and the rear bench. Additional modifications include a Hurst shifter, a woodgrain three-spoke steering wheel mounted to a tilting column, and a period-style modern stereo linked to a Kenwood amplifier and Hertz and Kicker speaker components.

AutoMeter gauges are recessed within the stock openings and feature a digital odometer indicating that nearly 3k miles have been driven since completion of the build. True mileage is unknown.

A 364ci LS2 V8 built by Turn Key Engine Supply replaces the factory inline-six and features a Turn Key air intake, an aluminum radiator equipped with dual cooling fans, and exhaust headers connected to a dual exhaust system. A general inspection and an oil change are said to have been completed in preparation for the sale.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt housing with a Positraction limited-slip differential and 3.55:1 gearing. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.
