Driving in the sun is never more fun than from behind the wheel of a numbers-matching first-generation pony car. One look at this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS Tribute Convertible we have for you today, and it's easy to see why these cars are beloved by millions. Fully repainted in dark blue with a complementary white hood stripe and matching white convertible top, this first-gen looks stylishly aggressive from any angle.
Inside, we find a well-done black and white houndstooth vinyl and cloth interior. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a three-spoke power-assisted wheel sits ahead of two big gauges. A large 120 mph speedometer sits on the driver's side. Mirroring that speedometer is the iconic tic-toc-tach, which sits on the passenger side of the steering column, featuring a 7,000 rpm tachometer with a functional analog clock set inside, offering an entertaining dance of orange needles depending on the throttle position and time of day. An upgraded AM/FM head unit features a digital readout and offers Bluetooth connectivity, while old-school sliding HVAC controls maintain simple temperature control. A quartet of auxiliary gauges keeps tabs on fuel, oil, battery, and engine temperature, while a staple-style shifter looks as cool as it is practical to use.
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay with a numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V-8 squeezed between the fenders. With its primer orange block and intake manifold, single four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor, and true dual exhaust, this small block made an advertised 275 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission before being sent out to a set of 14-inch Rallye wheels shod in 215/70R-14 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
