That would be the one I would stop to look at in a show. Nice to see an original car. I tend to bypass all the chrome hot rod clones. Sorry!

 Yup, add a pedal and maybe even an engine with 7 bolt valve covers....

He might be right on with his price if you believe Hagerty price guides. That would be if he figures the car is in "excellent" condition. That might be a stretch although that could be original paint. That valuation is $27600 USD. Hagerty says to deduct 30% for the 6cyl which makes it $19320 USD. Converted to Cdn funds that's $25543.

yup 3 pedals and maybe a '68 396 would be in there in a heartbeat..........Throw in a 12 bolt to replicate the Chevy JL8 braking system. Then you have a real neat cruiser.

If you don't care about originality, then why waste your time with archaic engines and transmissions like that?  Toss in a modern V8 and six-speed manual.  Then spruce up the suspension with modern, proven components and modern, upgraded brakes.  Test and tune and you're off to the races.  No need to screw up the handling with one of those old heavy lumps of cast iron - big block is even worse.  hp/cu in is way down compared to the modern stuff, and weight is way up.

Or... preserve its history as one of the last original 6 cylinder non faked SS/RS/Z-28 cars left on the planet.  wink

Nah... nobody cares about that anyhow... biggrin

I didn't expect my reply to be popular biggrin

But honestly I'm not a big Camaro guy anyway. I'm pretty narrow minded, I see most 60's GM cars with a big block and a stick!

 LOL, big lumps of cast iron make me smile, especially if they have a big lump of aluminum with a shifter right behind them!

I love seeing oddball cars or oddball configurations of regular cars.

 

Seafrost Green is more of a silver than a green.

A bench with a fold-down armrest is pretty rare and I'll bet works well with that armrest.

A lack of 250 numerals means the engine is a 230.

I think that car would make a great fair-weather driver. You could drive it and do little upgrade projects like the dash pad etc.

On a car like that it would actually be fitting to run with a set of oddball optional wheel covers from 1968:

I remember seeing a neat '68 Camaro in Williamsburg, VA decades ago that was also unusual. It was a black '68 Camaro RS convertible, white top & D96 stripes, white upscale Custom interior, a 250 six with a 3-speed stick on the floor in a factory console with woodgrain & a 3-speed shift map.

Last time I seen a  bench seat in a Camaro was in 1968.

Couldn't have been many installed.

I had a previous employee who owned a '67 RS  327 with a deluxe bench seat. Car also had all the spoilers front & rear. His son had a '68 with bench seat (not sure of model or engine?)
