Some classics hit the market with barely a ripple, but when a seller elects to list a first generation pony car in a No Reserve auction, the action is virtually guaranteed to be intense. Such is the case with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350 Convertible. It presents beautifully as a turnkey proposition, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting the Camaro listed here on eBay in Brentwood, California. Bidding has raced to $27,300, and with No Reserve in play, this gem is days away from finding a new home.

After its 1967 introduction, Chevrolet performed some fairly significant styling upgrades to the Camaro for the 1968 model year. It included adding side marker lights on the front fenders and the rear quarter panels. However, the most obvious was the elimination of the front vent windows, made possible by the introduction of the “Astro Ventilation” system. This Convertible looks as pretty as a picture in LeMans Blue, a shade that perfectly suits the car’s styling. However, the images include a shot of the Cowl Tag, confirming that the first owner ordered this drop-top in Matador Red. It is unclear when the change occurred, and although I prefer authenticity, I genuinely like the looks of this beauty. The paint shines impressively, the panels are straight, and life in California has kept the SS rust-free. The White soft-top appears to be in good order, the matching stripes are crisp, and this Camaro features the iconic RS grille with the concealed headlights.

Lifting this Camaro’s hood reveals a 350ci V8, which the first owner teamed with a two-speed Powerglide transmission, power steering, and power brakes. That year’s Sales Brochure quotes a power output of 295hp for the small-block, ensuring that this classic offers competent performance. We’ve reached a point where we’re flying blind, because the seller doesn’t indicate whether the Camaro is numbers-matching. They quote an odometer reading of 24,000 miles, though they don’t seem sure whether it’s genuine. The Camaro sees action on weekends, and appears to be a turnkey proposition that the winning bidder can enjoy immediately.

The seller states that this Camaro has many options, but does not elaborate on which ones. The interior is trimmed in vinyl and houndstooth cloth in a classy combination of Black and White. The limited interior images make it impossible to determine the overall condition, though piecing together the photos gives a fairly positive impression. Someone cut the door trims to accommodate split speakers, which suggests there may also be an aftermarket stereo. Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine!

It is easy to understand why this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350 Convertible has attracted forty-three bids when you scrutinize the seller’s listing images. It presents beautifully, and if the seller’s mileage claim is verifiable, it makes it a pretty special classic. The color change won’t excite purists, but it won’t phase those seeking an exceptionally tidy driver-grade classic to park in their garage. I would typically speculate on a potential sale price, but I’m leaving the ball in your court this time to see if someone can hit the nail on the head. What would you be prepared to pay for this Camaro?
