In the world of collector cars, finding a numbers-matching first-generation Pony Car in good condition is about as exciting as watching your team win the Superbowl. This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Tribute comes to us with its original engine and transmission, but has been fully repainted to give it a sleek triple-black look. The added SS emblems are all in their factory-correct locations along the front fenders, on the rear gas cap, and nestled in between those unforgettable hideaway headlamps.
Inside, we find an original looking interior features a set of black vinyl bucket seats separated by a stock-style center console. A big dual-pod gauge clusters sits just beyond the power-assisted three spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, which matches the woodgrain trim of the center stack and console nicely. A easy-to-grip staple-style shifter gives way to sliding HVAC controls and an AM/FM cassette stereo, while a useful expletive handle is available for the front passenger for those unsuspecting enthusiastic jaunts up to the speed limit
Under the hood, we find a factory-correct 327 cubic-inch V-8 topped with a single two-barrel Rochester carburetor that made an advertised 210 horsepower when it rolled off the assembly line more than a half century ago. A stock exhaust manifold feeds into a dual exhaust setup before exiting out through a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers to give this small block the sound we expect from an old school muscle car. That power is routed through a numbers-matching two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission before heading out to the ten bolt rear.

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Tribute rides on an independent front suspension and traditional solid axle rear. While original equipment is always awesome, there's no debating that this Pony Car looks fantastic with its upgraded seventeen-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II polished wheels shod in staggered Accelera tires measuring 235/45R-17 up front and wider 255/40R-17 in back. While you may not have much control about football playoffs, the joy that comes from owning an original numbers-matching first-gen Camaro is well within your grasp.
