This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 RS is an authentic, early-production example of one of the most iconic first-generation muscle cars. Certified by renowned Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish, this vehicle retains its original matching-numbers 302ci V8, M21 4-speed manual transmission, and 12-bolt Posi rear end. With its rare Rally Sport package and a production date of December 1967, it represents a highly sought-after configuration for collectors.
The mechanical heart of this Z28 is its original matching-numbers 302ci V8, factory-rated at 290 horsepower, which has been professionally rebuilt to factory specifications. The engine bay is a testament to authenticity, featuring original components including the correct Holley carburetor, Delco distributor, and radiator. Power is seamlessly delivered through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt Posi rear end equipped with 4.10 gears. The chassis remains true to its roots, featuring correct four-leaf rear springs and an original brake booster setup.
Finished in its original factory color scheme of Butternut Yellow with black racing stripes and a black vinyl top, the exterior maintains an aggressive, period-correct stance. The car sits on original, dated DF wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wide Tread GT tires, emphasizing its authentic presentation.
The interior has been restored to factory standards in black. It features standard bucket seats, a center console, and the iconic wood-rimmed steering wheel. The dash houses the special instrumentation, including the factory 7,000 RPM tachometer, ensuring an authentic 1968 driving experience. Having previously achieved Junior, Senior, and Preservation awards from the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA), this Z28 RS stands as a benchmark for authenticity and restoration quality.
