1968 Camaro

Chevrolet's 1968 material shows Astro Ventilation and front-door glass without the 1967-style vent panes. The exterior also carries front and rear side-marker lamps, making the marker lamps plus one-piece door glass the most useful quick visual distinction from a 1967 car.

The factory order material establishes the Z/28 as a regular orderable special-performance package for 1968 rather than a one-year 1967 experiment.

Why it matters

The factory order material establishes the Z/28 as a regular orderable special-performance package for 1968 rather than a one-year 1967 experiment.

Engines

• The factory material documents 230- and 250-cu-in sixes; 327-, 350-, and 396-cu-in V8 choices; the 302-cu-in Z/28 engine; and gross ratings extending to 375 hp for the L78 396. Engine availability depended on package and transmission, so a generic “1968 V8” description is insufficient.

Identification

• Use the factory model/VIN tables and engine-pad suffix rather than RS, SS, or Z/28 emblems alone. Rally Sport remained an appearance package with concealed headlamps, while SS and Z/28 represented different performance configurations that could overlap with RS equipment.
