Listed today at Retro Classic Car, Swainby. Last checked today.
This 1968 first-generation Camaro has been restored and upgraded around a 502ci (8.2-litre) big-block V8, paired with a TH400 three-speed automatic and a B&M floor shifter. It is a left-hand-drive car finished in silver metallic over black, with SS-style bonnet detailing, polished-lip five-spoke alloys and wider rear tyres.
The mechanical upgrades are aimed at usability: a limited-slip differential, power steering, power-assisted front discs, an aluminium radiator with electric fan, and a MagnaFlow dual exhaust with electronic cut-outs to quieten or release the V8. The instrument cluster is upgraded, with a 160mph speedometer, tachometer and auxiliary gauges.
Inside is a front bench seat, a period option that the Fisher Body tag confirms was specified when the car was built. The page describes the underside as very clean, with black-finished floor pans, chassis and suspension. It shows 1,000 miles and is listed as available soon, with price on application.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (No factory 502 V8 existed for the 1968 Camaro; the 502 is a later GM Performance Parts crate engine, so this is a non-factory restomod with no manufacturer-published figures.).
