Barn Find: A Slightly Salty 1968 Camaro Up For Grabs

21

Chevrolet’s first-generation of the Camaro will forever be regarded as the defining model of the American classic. Posted on Barn Finds, we stumbled across this 1968 Camaro that isn’t in too bad of shape for its age.

The blue and white paint scheme is still intact, and not hiding any of its imperfections. Flaws and all, this Camaro has endured the salty roads of New York, coating this classic with rust along its sides and rear bumper.

Taking a look at the underside, we can see the damage the salt has caused to this musclecar. Rust removal may be the first order of business for the next owner, but other than that, there is plenty to work with here. With a 350 cubic-inch V8 and a four-speed manual transmission, this car clearly isn’t a clone of any sort.

The seller claims that it runs, but we would settle for a better engine that can really put some power down. The flooring looks beat, but the interior looks to be in decent shape. With only a tear in the driver’s seat, we’re actually surprised at the condition of the interior.

The car definitely need work, but is worth saving.

The odometer is showing that the car has traveled 49,069 miles, which definitely places this car in the low-mileage category. According to the seller, this Camaro has a blemish on its right fender, that it acquired during a minor accident according to the seller. The seller claims the radiator, alternator, exhaust, master cylinder, and battery have been replaced.

The seller has also claimed that the car is a numbers matching find, but is that cause enough to grab an enthusiast’s attention? Is the current bid of $12,000 worth it? Here’s your chance at a Camaro that is in reasonable condition. Let us know if you would take on this Camaro as your next project.

The nice thing about restoring a Camaro, is that all of the needed pieces are available new.
