1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Pro Street For Sale
1,500 HP Blown Big Block * 8-71 Supercharger * Full Chromoly Chassis * Street-Driven Pro Street Build
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is an over-the-top, no-expense-spared Pro Street build that combines show-quality craftsmanship with serious drag-strip capability. Built over roughly two years with extensive custom fabrication throughout, this Camaro was designed to be both street driven and track capable, with an NHRA-certified cage and a drivetrain capable of producing approximately 1,500 horsepower without nitrous, plus an additional 200-shot nitrous system. The car was originally purchased from Florida and had already been mini-tubbed, but the current build went far beyond that.

The entire chassis was transformed with a full chromoly structure, full tubs, custom floors, custom transmission tunnel, extensive sheetmetal work, and countless one-off details. Engine & Performance
Power comes from a massive 467 cubic-inch Chevrolet big block, based on a GM Performance 454 block and built with premium internal components throughout. Performance highlights include:
GM Performance big-block foundation
454 bored/stroked to approximately 467ci
Air Flow Research cylinder heads
Ported and polished heads
Roller rockers
ARP hardware throughout
BDS polished 8-71 supercharger
Dual 950 CFM Quick Fuel double-pumper carburetors
200-shot nitrous system
Approximately 1,500 horsepower without nitrous
Additional 200 HP available on spray
MSD ignition
Magnum 500 fuel pump
Custom American Racing headers
3-inch oval exhaust
Custom shoebox-style mufflers exiting ahead of the rear wheels
This is a brutally powerful engine combination, but the car was intentionally set up to remain streetable and has been driven to local shows and cruise nights.

Transmission & Drivetrain
Backing the big block is a fresh Turbo 400 automatic transmission with fewer than 50 miles on it. Drivetrain features include:
Turbo 400 automatic transmission
Built by Select Performance Transmissions
3,500 RPM Pro Torque stall converter
Reverse manual valve body
Trans brake
Line lock
Oversized 1350 U-joints
Heavy-duty custom driveshaft tunnel
Moser rear end
4.11 gears
35-spline axles
The rear assembly has been beautifully finished and detailed, reflecting the same level of craftsmanship seen throughout the rest of the car. Chassis, Suspension & Brakes
This Camaro features a full chromoly chassis with extensive custom fabrication designed to handle extreme horsepower safely.

The rear suspension features a custom 4-link setup with a Panhard bar and adjustable coilovers, designed to control the massive horsepower and keep the rear end planted. For additional safety, the car incorporates a custom 1/8-inch steel driveshaft tunnel that fully encloses the driveshaft yoke and transmission tailshaft, providing substantial protection in the event of a driveline failure. Highlights include:
NHRA-certified roll cage
Full tub conversion
Adjustable coilovers front and rear
Tubular front control arms
Custom oil-pan protection/skid ramp
Wilwood front and rear disc brakes
Cross-drilled and slotted rotors
Adjustable front/rear brake bias
Parachute system
External battery disconnect
Track-required window netting
The cage and chassis were built with serious racing capability in mind while still allowing comfortable street use.

Cooling & Fuel System
A custom cooling system was engineered specifically for this high-horsepower application. Features include:
Custom oversized aluminum radiator
Dual puller fans
Additional pusher fan
Separate transmission cooler
Custom radiator support modifications
Approximately 36-gallon custom fuel cell system
Gel-cell battery
Hidden fuel and electrical routing through the chromoly chassis
The cooling setup is extremely effective, with the car reportedly maintaining approximately 185 degrees even in heavy summer traffic. Exterior
The exterior retains the unmistakable appearance of a first-generation Camaro while incorporating numerous custom touches.

Exterior features include:
Removable hood with Dzus fasteners
Custom front splitter
LED halo headlights
Custom sequential LED taillights
1967-style full-size rear taillight conversion
Billet exterior mirrors
Stainless hardware throughout
Fold-down rear license plate
Hidden battery charging connection
Rear-view camera
Integrated rear parachute
The rear camera displays through the interior mirror, making backing up this heavily tubbed Camaro significantly easier. Wheels & Tires
The car rides on serious drag-race hardware while maintaining a striking Pro Street stance. Features include:
Weld Racing wheels
Rear beadlock wheels
Massive Hoosier rear tires
Approximately 31x18 rear tire sizing
Wider-than-traditional front runners for improved street manners
Interior & Custom Fabrication
The interior is every bit as impressive as the mechanical build.

Features include:
Custom fabricated interior
Full roll cage with passenger protection
Adjustable seats
Adjustable custom pedals
Tilt steering column
Grant GT steering wheel
Steering-wheel-mounted nitrous controls
Custom carbon-fiber accents
Extensive custom gauge package
Custom switch panel
Backup nitrous activation
Purge controls
Fuel pump, fan, and system switches
Rear camera mirror display
Phone mount with integrated charger
Custom hidden electronics panel
Small custom storage compartment between the tubs
The rear storage area, wiring, switches, and electronics were all custom designed and hand fabricated, with wiring labeled and routed for easy service. Additional Custom Details
This car is loaded with thoughtful one-off touches, including:
Custom upright nitrous bottle mount integrated into the cage
Custom hidden wiring through the chassis
Custom trunk access panels
Bow Tie accents stamped into the sheetmetal
Illuminated Chevrolet emblem in the rear storage area
Custom billet and anodized details
Integrated bottle opener hardware
Hidden charge connection behind rear plate
The attention to detail is extraordinary, and nearly every component has been considered from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint. Mileage & Use
The engine has approximately 5,000 miles, while the completed chassis and drivetrain setup have roughly 1,000 miles of street use.

The Turbo 400 transmission itself has fewer than 50 miles. Despite its extreme appearance and performance potential, this Camaro was built to be driven and has been regularly cruised rather than trailered. Summary
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Pro Street is an extraordinary one-off build combining serious race technology with show-quality craftsmanship and real-world streetability.

With its 467ci blown big block, 8-71 supercharger, 1,500-horsepower capability, nitrous system, full chromoly chassis, Moser 4.11 rear, Wilwood brakes, custom cooling system, and extensive hand fabrication, this Camaro is unlike virtually anything else on the road. Built to run hard, show beautifully, and still cruise to local events under its own power, this is the kind of car that must be seen in person to fully appreciate.

Classic Chevrolet Camaro Buyer's Guide

The Chevrolet Camaro launched in September 1966 as Chevy's direct response to the Ford Mustang, and for over five decades it has defined American performance for an entire generation of enthusiasts. Whether you're hunting a numbers-matching first-generation Z/28, a survivor split-bumper second-gen, or a clean third-gen IROC-Z, the Camaro buyer's market is deep, varied, and full of pitfalls for the unprepared.

What to Check Before Buying

Verify VIN against cowl tag and build sheet — Cross-reference all three for matching production date, paint, trim, and option codes. Mismatched cowl tag = body swap.
Check engine block partial VIN — Stamped on driver-side block deck near cylinder head. Must match dashboard VIN for "numbers matching" claim.
Inspect rear window channel and trunk pan — Rust here is hidden but ruins structural integrity. Pop the rear seat and look at the rear window inner channel.
Magnet test rocker panels and quarters — Body filler is non-magnetic. If the magnet doesn't stick, the panel has been filled — meaning underlying rust.
Verify Z/28 RPO code on cowl tag — Genuine Z/28s carry the "Z28" code. Without it, the car is a clone, regardless of badging.
Inspect 12-bolt rear end (first-gen) — Z/28s and SS396s used the 12-bolt. Check for original gear ratio code stamped on axle housing.
Check transmission stamp and ratio — Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed in Z/28s. Stamping on the side of the case identifies original.
Examine motor mounts and frame rails — Big-block cars are notorious for breaking motor mounts. Look for cracked rubber, lifted engines, or aftermarket safety chains.
Test drive on highway and parking lot — Listen for differential whine, transmission slip, brake pulsation, steering wander. Drive at least 20 minutes.
Document with HD photos before purchase — Photo every panel, every stamp, every sticker. Document VIN, cowl tag, engine, transmission, rear axle. Build the case before you wire money.

Common Issues

Rust is the silent killer of every Camaro generation. First-gen cars (1967-69) hide rust under the rear window, in the trunk pan, around the rear wheel arches, and at the cowl seam where the windshield meets the firewall. Second-gen cars (1970-81) are notorious for rotten quarters, rocker panels, and floor pans — many cars on the market have been patched poorly or filled with body filler. Mechanical issues vary by generation. First-gens commonly suffer from worn 12-bolt rear ends, leaky Muncie transmission seals, and broken motor mounts (a Big Block specialty). Second-gens add tired steering boxes, crumbling vacuum lines, and EGR issues post-1972. Third-gens (1982-1992) are plagued by failing TPI sensors, sloppy T-tops that leak, and worn front coil-over-shock units on the IROC-Z.

What to Look For

Always start with the VIN. The first character tells you the country, the third tells you the model line, and the eighth (on 1972-and-later cars) tells you the engine. Cross-reference the VIN against the cowl tag and the trim tag — mismatches mean somebody swapped a body or a clip. For first-gen cars especially, find the partial VIN stamped on the engine block (driver's side, near the head, on Big Blocks) and on the transmission. Original drivetrains can add $15,000-$30,000 to a Z/28 or SS valuation versus a date-coded replacement. Look closely at the rocker panels, lower quarter panels, and the rear wheel arches with a strong magnet. Body filler is non-magnetic. If the magnet doesn't stick, you've got Bondo — and that's the cheap fix being hidden, not the expensive metal repair.

Price Guide

First-generation Camaros (1967-1969) are the gold standard. A driver-quality 1969 SS396 in good condition runs $55,000-$85,000 today. Z/28 prices range from $60,000 for a clean driver up to $200,000+ for documented, numbers-matching, low-mileage examples. Base 1967-1968 small-block coupes start around $28,000 for project cars, $45,000-$65,000 for nice drivers. Second-generation cars (1970-1981) have appreciated significantly in the last decade. 1970 Z/28 LT-1 cars are the high-water mark at $60,000-$120,000. Split-bumper 1970-1973 base coupes run $25,000-$45,000. Mid-second-gen cars (1974-1977) are the bargain entry point, often available for $15,000-$30,000 for solid drivers. Third-generation IROC-Zs (1985-1990) have entered serious collector territory. Clean L98 IROC-Zs sell for $18,000-$35,000, with low-mileage 1LE and B4C cars commanding $45,000+.

Did You Know?

The original 1969 Z/28 was conceived purely to homologate the Camaro for SCCA Trans-Am racing — the 302 V8 (a destroked 327) was built specifically because Trans-Am rules required engines under 305 cubic inches. The Mustang outsold the Camaro throughout the entire first generation. The Camaro did not outsell the Mustang until 1977, during the second generation. Only 69 ZL1 Camaros were built in 1969 — they were essentially a factory drag racing special with an all-aluminum 427 big block, and they cost more than a new Corvette. A documented original ZL1 sold at Mecum's Indianapolis auction in 2018 for $1.05 million.
