History
and Facts
The 1968 Camaro featured a pointed front grille, divided rear taillights, and side marker lights on the front and rear fenders, similar to the 1967 model. Non-RS models had oval front running lights, while big-block SS models had chrome hood inserts and a low-gloss black rear tail light panel.
With a 108-inch wheelbase, the 1968 Camaro was 184.6 inches long, 72.3 inches wide, and 50.9 inches high. Tire sizes varied based on the engine, with the I-6 and 327 CID 210 HP models equipped with 7.35 x 14 tires, and the 327 CID 275 HP and 350 CID 295 HP models fitted with D70 x 14 tires.
The car featured Astro Ventilation, an air-inlet system that eliminated the need for side vent windows, as well as a slow-ratio power steering box and round gauges similar to those seen in a Corvette.
The 1968 Camaro was available with various engine options, including:
- 396 ci/325 hp: Available in the RS/SS model
- 302 ci/290 hp: Available in the Z28 model
