Camaros have always been cool cars and great alternatives to the original Pony Car, the Mustang. This 1968 Camaro ups that ante in an interesting fashion. Somewhere along the way, likely in the 1970s, the car got treated to what must have been a pretty boss (in the language of the day) customization. What to do with it now that it needs total restoration is a mystery for the potential new owner to unravel. For someone up to the challenge, it’s available here on eBay for $7500, but you’re going to have to drag it home from South Amboy, NJ.

When you do that, what would you have? The seller claims that the engine, which is a 327, will run if everything is hooked back up. Note, however, that there is no claim that the engine is the one that came with the car, though the ad says that the Camaro was originally a V8, 4-speed model. The last recorded mileage on the title is 10,000, though the driver’s seat looks more worn than that would indicate. Mileage aside, the overall condition suggests that this is an ex-racer which was used hard. The tires have a size offset front to rear, and the rear-end housing exhibits a shiny newness. The ad indicates that the Camaro has a 10-bolt rear. There is a Pavlock Racing sticker on the windshield. Pavlock is a race car supply company out of Florida.

So what would it take to bring this car back to life? Pretty much everything. The rust is not of the typical bottom-of-fender type but stretches along the crease at the top of the rear fenders. The dash is half-disassembled, and the driver’s floor, exposed with no carpet, looks to be rusted through. The engine is a cosmetic mess if nothing else, and there’s rust in the trunk floor. Funny enough, the original steering wheel, in nice cosmetic condition, appears to have survived.

Even if you committed to all that work, you’d have one more decision to face—do you attempt to return this car to its 1970s customized glory, or do you restore it to stock? That would depend on your taste, including how much you like pink and the availability of a skilled painter who could replicate the stripes and graphics still visible. So what does this become: a reborn 327-powered Grecian Green coupe or a wildly customized street terror? That’s up to the next owner, but there’s a long road ahead to get to either destination.
