1968 Chevrolet Camaro Ss on 2040-cars
Los Gatos, California, United States
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Big Block with RS package.
Features include hidden headlights, and reverse lights below the bumper, as well as other trim options. This RS/SS
package included the best of available features: a more powerful engine and the desirable trimmings of an RS.
The RS is an appearance package “Rally Sport”, that included hidden headlights and body side bright trim with
front signals down low.
The SS is a performance package, title stands for Super Sport. Performance features include higher hp engine, Turbo
hydro transmission, positive traction 12-bolt rear, and heavy duty suspension.
The exterior is refinished with the factory color, British Racing Green. A rare color, available for a limited time
in 1968 only. A few minor chips are noted on the sides and some crazing can be noted particularly on rear spoiler.
An easy fix and you have perfect paint. The white vinyl top (rare option) keeps the car cool and is in good
condition. RS option hidden headlights are functioning and are framed above by the scallop stripe stretching across
the hood on the front edge. This 1968 only stripe makes its way rearward where it dies at doors edge in a white
spear. Factory rally wheel trim and hubcaps are framed by Goodyear Tires. The SS gas cap is planted firmly in the
center of the rear panel. Also seen are nicely preserved and shiny trimmings around the wheel wells and rockers.
Interior:
Black stitched vinyl bucket seats with black piping highlighting, in great condition in front, and a matching motif
rear bench seat makes up the seating arrangement. All seats are in showroom condition. A center console shows an
automatic stirrup shift grab handle that is designed right out of the 60's. The forward console and center dash
is surrounded by walnut wood trim. This wood works its way upward to where the radio and temp sliders are located.
Deep round angled analog gauges create the gauge cluster in front of the original RS steering wheel. Accessory
gauges monitor temperature and oil pressure. Black carpet in great clean condition and is covered by badged rubber
floor mats in black.
Drivetrain:
A GM orange block, heads and intake manifold are flanked by shiny chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. The
detailed filter rests atop and is showing in 396ci L35 Engine ID. This engine is an original 1968 Camaro “MW”
code designating it’s 325hp preparation. It has a new Holley 4bbl carburetor on top with electric choke for
flawless operation. A 3-speed automatic TH400 is behind this monster mill and it throws power rearward to a 12-bolt
3.08 posi rear axle. Very nice presentation under this hood for this RS-SS.
Undercarriage:
Underside is refinished to original colors and specifications, and no rust is present. Power front disc brakes,
rear power drums, along with a dual exhaust system are seen all in good condition. Looking good, the underneath is
clean, just like the topside. Independent coil springs provide the ride for the front and multi-leafs do the same
for the rear.
Drive-Ability:
A very solid and fun driver, quick starter, smooth shifter, and some good grabby brakes. The car rides smoothly and
accelerating is a snap. The tires do break loose easy under aggressive acceleration. The interior is spacious.
It's ready to go for a spin in in a moments notice and definitely grabs peoples attention!
A beautiful first generation pony car, completely restored, with both RS option and SS package. And some great
factory options too. All surfaces. interior and exterior are good to go, and in good working condition. Noteworthy
is the desirability of a true big block Camaro that retains an original Camaro “MW” engine.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.
