Hey Brother, the carguy in my life is uncle rob. He's a huge fan follows on youtube. we live in Northern Utah. He doesn't do the comments and such so thats where I come in.
Awesome find 👍🏻I think that 327 has more horsepower than the ‘79 350 they were quite low , I had a ‘79 camaro 350 pretty slow, anyway beautiful car and can’t wait to see what you do 😊
Nice observation Rick! I was waiting for someone to notice. Yep, the quarters were replaced back in the 80's by a body shop. Not sure why they used '67 quarters instead of '68. (Maybe someone can tell me). The original rear Marker light wires and sockets are in the trunk so I'll be cutting out the holes and installing the correct Marker lights in a future episode. Stay tuned!
@@FlatheadTerry I know these cars pretty well so if you need any advice hit me up. The quarters are the same and all you have to do is cut out where the markers go. I’d recommend looking at another 68 quarter and get a template.
@@FlatheadTerry I guess I should have paid closer attention. Back in the 80’s convertible quarters were non existent for just the 68 and you used 67’s for both. Great car and I look forward to the videos
@@drhoff585 Thanks for the info and offer Rick. I last owned a '68 Camaro (RS, 327, Muncie, Headers) was in 1977 so any advice/feedback you supply is greatly appreciated as I get back up to speed. What do you have?
@@FlatheadTerry I restored a 1967 RS that was featured in a lot of books including Camaro: Forty years. I’m also a judge and judge 1967-1969 Camaros in the Bow tie class at the Camaro Nationals each year. You have a nice car and look forward to watching the progress.
Hey Matt, the quarters were replaced back in the late 70's - early 80's with NOS '67 quarters when it was re-painted at that time. ('68 Convert quarters weren't available). The body shop should have cut out the holes for the side markers. The original side marker wires and connectors are still laying in the trunk. I plan on cutting the correct holes and installing the side markers this summer and posting an episode on the process. Stay tuned!
Hey Brendog, no it did not have factory air. At 8:46 in the video I show all the original factory options from the original dealer paperwork. I didn't know the car had all this paperwork until after I bought it. It was a great surprise!
@@MrBrendog67rat Good question! The short answer is no. The long answer is I sold it to very nice 70 year old lady who once owned one just like it and her mom forced her to sell it back in the 70's. The Corvette was not my "dream" ride, but I couldn't let it sit in a garage another 17 years so I rescued it. I regret selling my '68 RS 327 4-Speed Camaro I had in the late 70's so I couldn't resist acquiring this one.
Looks great, love when these old cars have old paperwork!
Thanks Ryan! I didn't know he had all that original paperwork until after I gave him the money. It was a nice surprise!

How sweet is that, when you cranked it up it sounded so good.
Thanks DuckButter!

Thanks Sprayguy! That 327 is definitely on the future project list. Would like to get it back in its' home.
@@FlatheadTerry Great idea. I would want the 327 too!
Outstanding
Somebody put on 1967 quarters. Missing the rear side marker lights.

No side marker lights on the rear quarters?

the vent on the pass side through me off, i had a 67 impala wagon with factory air, it had the same vents
@@FlatheadTerry Kool Car! do you still have the Corvette?
@@MrBrendog67rat Good question! The short answer is no. The long answer is I sold it to very nice 70 year old lady who once owned one just like it and her mom forced her to sell it back in the 70's.

Is that original three speed a Muncie transmission?
Yes it is Teddy!! And the original shifter.
