1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 327 — Black on Black, 4-Speed, Restored DriverWhy This Car Is SpecialThe 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 327 sits at an interesting crossroads in first-generation Camaro history. Chevrolet had refined the Camaro's body and chassis for its second model year, addressing several fit and finish criticisms from the 1967 launch car. The result was a cleaner, tighter package — and 1968 is widely regarded as the sweet spot of the first-generation run. The federally mandated side marker lights were new for '68, and the revised front end gave the car a sharper, more purposeful look. Underneath, Chevrolet continued offering the Super Sport package as a separate RPO (Regular Production Option) group, meaning the SS was a genuine factory designation, not a dealer badge job.The 327 cubic inch V8 is a significant part of this car's identity. While the 396 big-block gets more headlines, the 327 small-block was Chevrolet's precision instrument — a high-revving, well-balanced engine that earned its reputation in Corvettes and Impalas long before the Camaro existed. In 300-horsepower trim, it was the more spirited of the two 327 SS options offered in 1968, paired here with a T10 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. This is a driver's combination, not a cruiser's. The T10 was a Borg-Warner unit known for strength and clean shifts, and it was the transmission serious buyers checked the box for when ordering.The VIN confirms this is a Norwood, Ohio-built car — the 'N' in the plant code position tells you that. Norwood was one of two primary Camaro assembly plants in 1968, the other being Van Nuys, California. Norwood-built first-gens carry a consistent following among collectors who track assembly details.This specific car presents as an all-black driver — black exterior, black vinyl interior, black top — restored approximately six years ago and showing well for it. It is not a trailer queen. It is a car that was built to be used, was restored to be used, and is ready to be used again.Features- 327ci V8, 300 horsepower- T10 4-Speed Manual Transmission- SS Trim Package, factory option- Correct SS cowl induction hood- SS badging front and rear- Rally wheels with Cooper Cobra radial tires- Headers with Flowmaster mufflers- Chrome valve covers- Aftermarket tachometer- Grant GT steering wheel- Pioneer stereo head unit- Power steering- Black bucket seats- Center console- Black vinyl interior- Chrome front and rear bumpers- Clean undercarriage- Restored approximately six years agoMechanicalThe 327 small-block under this hood is a 300-horsepower version, which in 1968 SS trim meant a four-barrel carburetor and a compression ratio that required premium fuel — this was a performance engine, not a commuter motor. The chrome valve covers visible in the engine bay are a nod to the show-car presentation common in the muscle car era, and they look correct on this black engine compartment. Headers have been installed in place of the factory cast-iron exhaust manifolds, feeding into Flowmaster mufflers out back. The result is a more free-flowing exhaust system that lets the 327 breathe more efficiently, and Flowmaster's chambered design gives it a tone that is audible without being obnoxious.The T10 4-speed is bolted up and working as it should. Power steering is fitted, which makes the car significantly easier to drive in real-world conditions — early Camaros without power steering require serious effort at parking lot speeds, so this is a meaningful convenience for a car that gets driven. The undercarriage photos confirm what the seller states: this is a clean, solid car underneath. No visible rot, no heavy surface rust, no obvious patchwork. For a 56-year-old car, that matters more than almost any other single factor.Cooper Cobra radial tires wrap the Rally wheels at all four corners. Cooper's Cobra G/T is a period-correct looking radial that carries the white-letter sidewall appeara
