There's definitely an elusive combination that makes some cars great and leaves other cars wanting. This 1968 Camaro nails it, anging from a great color combination to a sweet-running small block punched out to 383 cubes, o niceties like ice cold A/C that make it a pleasure to drive. Nothing exotic, ust solid fundamentals that make for a first-class machine.Early F-bodies always look great in dark colors, nd this slick SS tribute with its electric blue paint and pearl black Z/28 stripes has a street fighter look that's made all the more exceptional with its high-quality shine. There's a long list of upgrades under the skin, ut your first impression is of a car that's had a lot of time and effort invested in the final product. The doors fit neatly, he cowl induction hood sits flush, nd the steel underneath is worthy of the glossy finish. Two stage urethane gives it a shine so deep you feel like you can dip your fingers in it, nd thanks to expert care since it was completed, t shows almost no signs of use. SS badges are practically standard equipment on any Camaro restoration these days, ut this car also includes other correct elements like the single-element taillights, owtie-logo gas cap, nd, f course, he ducktail spoiler. It sure looks the part, ight down to the shiny bumpers fore and aft which look quite good against the slick blue paint job.The black interior has a handsome, pscale look thanks to a set of luxurious-looking seat covers on the original bucket seats.
