The Story

Chevrolet scored a major branding victory in 1961 with the introduction of the Super Sport package—an option group that bundled heavy-duty suspension, upgraded brakes, performance wheels and tires, unique interior trim, and a selection of potent V8 engines. The message was unmistakable: any Chevrolet wearing SS badging was built to be taken seriously. By 1967, the SS package found another natural home in the all-new Camaro, cementing its identity as a true performance icon.

Offered here is an extraordinary 1968 Camaro SS—an exceptionally preserved time-capsule example showing just 62,486 miles from new at the time of writing. Delivered new on May 8, 1968, by Muchard Chevrolet in Victor, New York, the car remained under the stewardship of its original owner for just over a year before being sold back to the dealership and then purchased by its long-term caretaker, Mr. Nolan, whose ownership spanned more than 25 years. During his tenure, he meticulously maintained the Camaro both mechanically and cosmetically, preserving every service receipt and registration slip along the way.

Power comes from the matching-numbers L48 350/295 HP engine paired with its matching-numbers M20 4-speed manual transmission. Remarkably, the car still wears its original Rally Red paint and retains its factory black vinyl bucket-seat interior. The undercarriage is exceptionally well preserved, still displaying many of the original assembly-line markings and finishes. Documentation is extensive and highly impressive, including the Protect-O-Plate, bill of sale, original invoice, registration records, ownership history, service file and more. Camaros of this caliber are exceedingly rare—especially those with this level of originality and documentation. With long-term single ownership, outstanding preservation and exceptional provenance, this 1968 Camaro SS represents a truly special opportunity for the serious muscle-car collector.
