1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

Chevrolet's entry in the pony car class received a few mild styling changes for its second model year. FMVSS-compliant side marker lights were added and the vent windows were deleted and the v-shape of the grille became more pronounced.

The fender badges on this Sequoia Green droptop say 327 but the hood has the chrome fake velocity stack looking dinguses from the big-block SS models. This one has the snappy-looking optional Rally wheels, too.

The LF7 327 cubic inch Turbo-Fire small block was the standard motor. With a two-barrel carb and an 8.75:1 compression ratio, it was advertised as thrifty but still reasonably powerful, making 210 gross horsepower. The other 327 in the catalog was the L30, which had a 10.0:1 squeeze and a four-barrel carb and put out 275 horses.

A three-speed manual was standard, and a buyer could opt for a four-on-the-floor, a two-speed Powerglide, or a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic.  

This one was photographed with a Nikon D2X and an 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR II zoom lens in November of 2022.
