Chevrolet Camaro 1968 Description

1968 Camaro SS

Pro-Touring / RestoMod

Vehicle Summary

This is my personal car; I am not a dealer. This is a great pro-touring 1968 Camaro SS that has undergone a complete restoration. This build was commissioned by a celebrity with the intent of creating a best in class pro-touring car that perfectly combines the original styling with modern technology/equipment. The concept was to construct a 1968 Camaro with largely original appointments and details, hough set up like a road race/Can Am car and able to enjoy as a streetable car or compete in Autocross or Track Day events, hich it ultimately has never done. There is well over $125k invested and it would likely cost more to reproduce this project. Mechanicals, uning and fabrication completed by Bill Andrews at HRE Racing, reeport NY (famed Cobra builder). You simply could not replicate this build for the reserve price. If you are educated on these pro-touring machines, ou will appreciate the thoughtful design behind this project and the careful attention to detail in building it.
