1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible — Numbers-Correct 327 V8, Norwood-Built, Fisher Body DocumentedWhy This Car Is SpecialThe 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible is one of the more sought-after configurations of the first-generation platform, and for good reason. Chevrolet sold just over 20,000 Camaro convertibles for the 1968 model year, compared to more than 215,000 coupes. That alone makes any open-top first-gen Camaro a relatively scarce find. What separates this particular car from the typical survivor is the paperwork behind it — specifically, the Fisher Body tag still mounted in the car, which confirms the factory paint color, interior trim code, body style, assembly plant, and build date without any guesswork.The Fisher Body plate on this car decodes as follows: body style ST 68-12467, which confirms this is a 1968 Camaro convertible. The interior trim code TR 712 matches black standard vinyl, exactly what you see inside the car. The paint code R1 confirms Ermine White, which is the correct name for this off-white factory color. The assembly plant code NOR identifies this as a Norwood, Ohio build — one of two plants that produced first-generation Camaros, the other being Van Nuys, California. The build date code 05E places production in the fifth week of May 1968, meaning this car was assembled very late in the 1968 model year run. For collectors, that level of documentation is not always available on 56-year-old cars.The engine is numbers-correct — the 327 cubic inch V8 that belongs in this car is still under the hood. That matters both for valuation and for authenticity. The 327 was a well-regarded small-block in 1968, offered in the Camaro in multiple states of tune. This car carries a 327 Turbo-Fire decal on the air cleaner lid, consistent with the era. The combination of a documented body tag, matching engine, convertible body style, and a desirable Ermine White over black color scheme puts this 1968 Camaro convertible in a different category than a re-painted or re-engined example.Features List- Numbers-correct 327 cubic inch V8 engine- Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission, floor-shifted with console- Power steering- Power front disc brakes- Black power soft-top convertible (newer black replacement top)- Fisher Body plate present — confirms R1 Ermine White paint, TR 712 black vinyl interior, Norwood assembly, May 1968 build date- Chrome Rally wheels with Chevrolet Motor Division center caps- Red-line tires (Bridgestone Radial)- Full-length black hood-to-trunk rally stripes- Chrome bumpers front and rear- Chrome/polished valve covers with Chevrolet bowtie emblems- 327 fender badges (front fenders)- Camaro script badges (front fenders and rear trunk lid)- Chrome exterior side rocker trim- Driver-side chrome exterior mirror- Black standard vinyl bucket seats, front and rear — interior code TR 712- Center console with simulated wood-grain trim and lighted automatic shifter indicator (P-R-N-3-2-1)- Simulated wood-grain dash insert surrounding radio and center stack- 3-spoke simulated wood-grain steering wheel with bowtie center cap (wear/peeling present)- AM push-button radio (factory-style unit)- Heater controls (Cold/Hot/Off/De-Ice) — no factory air conditioning- Standard base gauge cluster — speedometer and fuel gauge- Aftermarket auxiliary gauge (oil pressure or similar) mounted below steering column- Camaro-logo floor mats (black with script lettering)- Dual exhaust systemMechanicalUnder the hood of this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible sits the numbers-correct 327 cubic inch small-block V8. The 327 was introduced in the Camaro lineup at the car's 1967 launch and carried over into 1968. It was derived from the same small-block architecture that Chevrolet had been developing since 1955, making it a proven, well-supported engine with a deep aftermarket and strong parts availability even today.
