the 1968 Camaro SS, dedicated to the "fun crowd." |
1968 Chevrolet Camaro
The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro was virtually unchanged as it entered its second year of production, although a close inspection would reveal the addition of new front and rear side marker lights and vent less door glass. Chevrolet described cars equipped with the optional Rally Sport package as "a more glamorous version" of the Camaro. Chevrolet boasted that the 1968 Camaro SS was dedicated to the "fun crowd." The sales catalog said it was "a husky performer and looks it." Big engines, upgraded suspension and special equipment features made this model stand out. The popularity of Camaro Z/28 Special Performance package started to climb based on the car's first year racing reputation. The Z/28s were common in the Trans-Am winner's circle that season, winning 10 of the 13 races.Chevrolet wasn't sure if it wanted to market the option strictly for racing or to the public. Output climbed to 7,199 cars, making it clear that a decision had been made.1968 Chevrolet Camaro Production and Specifications
