Is This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro a Genuine SS or a Well-Dressed Tribute?

A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro currently listed for sale in Tacoma, Washington, comes with an honest caveat from its owner: nobody is entirely sure whether it left the factory as a true SS. The car carries the expected SS badges and stripes, and a 350ci V8 sits under the hood, but the seller openly acknowledges those details alone don’t settle the question. The asking price is $30,000.

The 1968 model year brought only modest updates to the first-generation Camaro, the most visible being the switch from vent windows to one-piece door glass as part of the Astro Ventilation system. This particular car wears Ermine White paint, though its cowl tag shows it was originally ordered in Butternut Yellow, meaning a color change happened at some point. That repaint would have been a convenient moment to add SS-style trim if the car is actually a tribute rather than the real thing.

Under the hood, the combination of a 350 V8, four-speed manual, 10-bolt Posi rear end, power steering, and power front disc brakes matches what period sales material associated with SS models. Whether the engine is the original numbers-matching unit remains unconfirmed, and only an in-person inspection is likely to answer that. Recent mechanical work includes a new fuel tank, pump, lines, intake, carburetor, brakes, alternator, starter, aluminum radiator, and electric fan, along with a rebuilt rear end. The black vinyl interior is described as tidy, and the body shows minor chips and light rust in lower areas, but nothing the seller frames as needing panel replacement.
