older restoration that was an exensive restoration you see the bottom side pictures see the interior under the hood very nicely done powered by the the very sought-after 396 Big Block backed by an automatic transmission with the Horseshoe shifter in the in the console with the bucket seats that beautiful red paint with the uh superport White Stripes the Chevy Rally wheels this car and that hounds tooth interior what else do you want in a first gen Camaro so we'll grab the other camera we'll go for a test [Music] [Applause] [Music] drive big block yep so now we're going to take that beautiful 1968 Camaro Super Sport for a test drive yep and that 396 I mean it just fires right up just like it should um even at a cold start fires right up um a very attractive car I mean you got the red and white red with the white stripe exterior with the black vinyl with the hounds tooth inserts I think is just an awesome [Music] combo but that I mean the transmission shifts extremely smooth 396 is tight very tky and I mean it takes nothing to get up to 50 55 mph very little of the throttle so the car has had an extensive restoration it is an older restoration uh the interior still presents extremely well yeah and I don't know like maybe one flaw yeah right here here but other than that the interior is excellent it is a very attractive interior I mean under the hood the underside of this car you just you just see the detail that was put into this restoration and how well it was executed and like Dad said it is an older restoration so your paint is starting to get those kind of H cracks kind of throughout but yeah it's still from like 10 ft 5 10 ft away it still presents and it the paint was definitely a professional paint job I mean it's it shines beautifully there's hardly any Orange Peel no just has some age cracks unfortunately but still yeah still beautiful oh yeah yeah I mean that with the I mean it's got the big block SS hood your SSD cows and strip it's just an attractive car and mechanically the car is extremely strong I mean it the suspension you know all the seat Wheels were replaced I mean the cabin is very quiet it is and you know we're 55 mph and we're just cruising that I'm I'm guessing 25 2700 RPMs maybe it's a great Cru car yeah mechanically extremely sound yeah the interior is actually very quiet I have just maybe a hint the of maybe would noise just kidding that's why okay so no I don't have any on this side so we're going to go around the roundabout hear those old tires squeal a little bit but it's handling the roundabout just fine slow down here a little bit that 396 breathe [Music] [Music] 60 [Music] mph no issues 65 mph 70 mph it's effortless yeah takes nothing for that 396 to get up to speed that does have power front disc brakes so I mean it stops extremely well power steering it's easy to steer easy to drive yeah and as far as accessories go of course your windows roll up and down as they should uh the
