Unearthing the ’68 Green Machine

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

At long last, we have posted photos of our recently completed 1968 Camaro restoration. This was a special project presented as a gift to the owner by his family, and we thoroughly enjoyed working on it. It’s not often you get the opportunity to turn back time for someone; he was delighted to see her looking better than the day he bought her new, 41 years ago.

We gave this gave this car a complete overhaul but remained true to the original details, from the color to the 230 inline six. We did up the ante on the paint job, converting the original single stage Rally Green to the matching modern two stage, a Fender guitar color called Eric Clapton Candy Green. The interior got fresh but genuine Ivy Gold upholstery and trim, and the engine was reconditioned and stroked to 250, a rare build which ads to the museum quality of this project.

Please enjoy the snapshot of history we worked hard to capture – having customers like these definitely makes our work gratifying.

We are hard at work on this *TOP SECRET* 1968 Camaro restoration project – what will be this year’s surprise Christmas gift to a father from his very loving family. There’s no doubt dad will be pretty excited to see the car he’s had for 41 years look new again. Likewise, we are excited to help make this dream a reality. So far we’ve stripped it down, media blasted, primed, done some metal work and more. Look forward to more pics as it comes along…
