1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

Description

The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible represents the second model year of Chevy's iconic pony car, offering a blend of sporty styling and open-air driving enjoyment. As part of the first-generation Camaro lineup, the Convertible variant was available with a range of powertrains and trim options, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking both performance and comfort. Notable updates for 1968 included the addition of side marker lights and a revised grille design, further refining the car’s aggressive look.

This particular 1968 Camaro Convertible is finished in factory-correct Butternut Yellow with black vinyl stripes over a black vinyl interior with houndstooth seat inserts. It is powered by a 327ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission and equipped with power steering, power brakes, and a power-operated convertible top. The seller has owned the car for 12 years and reports it drove reliably during an 8.5-hour relocation trip. While the engine is believed to have been replaced prior to current ownership, the car retains its period-correct character and is said to have been repainted decades ago.

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is now offered with a clean Maryland title.

Ownership History

From the seller: “I’ve owned the car for 12 years and haven’t made any changes. It drove 8.5 hours during my move without issue. I believe the engine was replaced sometime before my ownership, and the paint appears to be several decades old.”

Additional Notes

From the seller: “The car presents well and drives reliably. While it’s not a showpiece, it’s a solid driver with classic looks and a power top that works as it should. The vinyl stripes are stick-on but in great condition. It’s a great candidate for light restoration or continued enjoyment as-is.”
