This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 396 Tribute is a masterclass in muscle car design. Draped in a slick black paint job, this Camaro's aggressive stance is accentuated by its Super Sport hood and chrome Foose wheels. The 17-inch rims are wrapped in Nitto NT555 255/50R17 rubber in the rear and Maxxis VICTRA MAZ1 215/45ZR17 tires up front, giving this classic a modern footprint. The iconic RS hidden headlamps add an air of mystery, while the factory-correct spoiler emphasizes its performance pedigree. Chrome bumpers and trim provide a striking contrast against the noir exterior, creating a look that's both menacing and refined.
Inside, the optional deluxe interior showcases a blend of comfort and sportiness. Black vinyl bucket seats offer both style and support, complemented by a factory-style console housing essential gauges. The dash features factory gauges including a tachometer, while an aftermarket AM/FM radio adds a touch of modern convenience. A tilt steering column topped with a three-spoke stainless wheel and wooden rim provides both comfort and classic style. The four-speed Hurst Competition Plus shifter stands ready for action, a tactile reminder of the power at your command.
Lifting the SS hood reveals a freshly built 396 cubic inch V8, bored out to 402 cubic inches according to the owner. This powerhouse boasts only 70 miles since its recent rebuild, featuring KB pistons and a hydraulic roller camshaft. A Weiand Street Warrior aluminum intake manifold topped with a Holley-style four-barrel carburetor feeds the beast, while Hedman headers expel spent gases through a FlowMaster dual exhaust system. Power is transferred through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission to a recently built 12-bolt rear end with 3.55 gears and a Posi-traction differential. The suspension is upgraded with Competition Engineering adjustable drag shocks and a rear sway bar, enhancing both straight-line performance and cornering ability. Power steering and power brakes with front discs ensure this Camaro is as easy to control as it is quick.
