As we walked around this beautiful ’68 Camaro, it was clear that the owner had spared no expense in bringing this classic muscle car back to its former glory. The gleaming green paint with white stripes was flawless, and the custom wheels added a touch of modern style to this vintage ride.

As we popped the hood, it was clear that the owner had done their homework. The engine compartment was spotless, with every wire, hose, and component meticulously routed and secured.
The LS3 engine itself was a work of art, with its shiny aluminum block and heads gleaming in the sunlight.

But the upgrades didn’t stop there. The owner had also fitted this ’68 Camaro with a modern chassis and brakes, giving it the handling and stopping power of a modern muscle car. And with its stock-like-new black interior, this Camaro was the perfect blend of old-school style and modern performance.
