Big Block Punch: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

There’s no shortage of first-generation Camaros out there, but this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Custom listed on eBay leans hard into the performance side of things. Finished in blue with a black interior and backed by a big cubic-inch V8, this one stands out for what’s under the hood as much as anything else. With a clean title and dealer listing, it’s being presented as a built street machine rather than a stock restoration. Thanks for the tip, Rocco B.!

The headline feature here is the 468 cubic-inch big block, which the seller says was professionally built by Adams Automotive & Machine in North Dakota. It’s described as an all-roller engine producing 520 horsepower and 540 lb-ft of torque. Supporting components include a Holley double pumper carburetor, Edelbrock Air-Gap intake, and a full MSD ignition setup with distributor, coil, and 6AL box. The listing also notes ceramic-coated Hooker headers and a 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust system with an X-pipe.

Power is routed through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, feeding into a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears and a Moser aluminum cover. The seller also mentions CalTracs traction bars and Hotchkis subframe connectors, which suggests the car has been set up with performance use in mind. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, and there’s a serpentine belt system up front with polished pulleys.

Inside, the Camaro is equipped with what the seller calls a black deluxe houndstooth interior. It retains factory-style gauges, including a tic-toc-tach, along with additional AutoMeter gauges for oil pressure, temperature, and fuel. An Alpine stereo is also listed among the features, along with power steering and disc brakes.

The car rides on 18-inch US Mags Rambler wheels fitted with Falken tires. The seller highlights the exterior finish as Lemans Blue with silver stripes, noting that the stripes are buried in the clear coat. As with any listing, that’s something buyers will likely want to evaluate themselves, but it gives a sense of how the seller is presenting the car.

One detail that may raise questions is the mileage listed at 1,111 miles, though no further explanation is provided about whether that reflects time since the build or another factor. Like many custom builds, that’s a number that may not tell the full story without additional context.

For enthusiasts who are more interested in driving experience than originality, this kind of setup can be appealing. It’s clearly built around power and presence, with a mix of classic styling and modernized components underneath.
