This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro “has classic muscle car power with the reliability of a daily driver,” the seller states. “It has modern conveniences, such as a five-speed transmission that allows it to cruise 80 mph on the highway at 2,500 rpm. The A/C blows cold even on the triple-digit days. The car is always well-loved at shows, especially due to the paint job. It could be raced if someone wanted to drag or do autocross. This Camaro is a blast to hot rod around in, and it can do it all with style and grace. In my humble opinion, this is the way classic car ownership should be.”
