Referred to as, “The Hulk” - this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS 502 Custom is one mean street machine. It was the product of rotisserie restoration that was completed in 2022. It's in show quality condition throughout and has 525 miles since completion. The exterior was finished in Dark Green Metallic with front SS white stripes and a white vinyl top. The RS front end with covered headlights looks awesome. It has a killer stance on 18 US Mag Rambler wheels that are wrapped with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. The new black interior is slightly customized including Houndstooth TMI front and rear seats. The car is powered by a new GM Performance Deluxe 502/508HP V8 with a complete Holley Sniper fuel injection system. The engine is coupled to a new American Powertrain T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission with a new McLeod twin disc clutch. The power is transferred to the pavement through the Chevrolet 12-bolt POSI rear end. It's equipped with an aluminum radiator, power steering, power four wheel disc brakes, performance suspension and so much more!


As the VIN number and trim tag indicates this car was built in Norwood, OH on the fourth week of February as a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro 6cyl 2-door sport coupe. It had a Butternut Yellow exterior with a black vinyl top and a black custom bucket seat interior. From the information gathered it was purchased at Grays Chevrolet located in Swansea, MA by a woman who lived in Cumberland, RI. She owned the car for 27 years until selling it to a couple who lived in Swansea, MA in 1995. This couple had intentions of restoring the car but they never did. The couple sold it to a gentleman named Robert Moniz Bob who lives in Swansea, MA in 2000. Bob has been collecting parts and restoring first generation Camaros for many years. His intentions were to fully restore this car which he eventually did over 20 years later. He completed the restoration in 2021. MS CLASSIC CARS purchased a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Custom from Bob many years ago and he's been a friend ever since. When Bob finished restoring this car he contacted MS CLASSIC CARS to purchase the car. MS CLASSIC CARS jumped on the opportunity and purchased the car in January of 2021. The car was stored until MS CLASSIC CARS started the service process in September of 2021. The plan was to improve on what Bob had completed and turn it into what we have here today. The Hulk! MS CLASSIC CARS invested over $50,000 between parts and labor for all the upgrades which is documented with invoices that are included. The car was sold in June of 2022. MS CLASSIC CARS jumped on the opportunity to purchase the car back in April of 2024 with 525 miles.


The exterior of this Camaro is simply stunning with its iconic design and beautiful color combination. It just has the look! During the restoration the hood, front fenders and doors were replaced with GM sheet metal. It sports a cowl hood and rear spoiler. The body and gap lines are very nice throughout. The hood, doors and trunk lid close very nicely. The car was painted in Dark Tourmaline Metallic which is a Mazda color. It's a very similar color to Emerald Green. The front was decorated with white SS stripes that were painted on and buried under the clear coat. The show quality paint was recently detailed to a glossy finish. The roof was dressed with a new white vinyl top which fits like a glove. The color combination including the vinyl top is absolutely gorgeous! All of the tinted glass is new throughout and crystal clear. Everything on the exterior was replaced new such as the stainless trim, antenna, wiper arms, RS grill, front bumper, front spoiler, door handles, fender trim, lower moldings, tail light bezels, tail light lenses, emblems and RS gas cap. Some of the customer features include Detroit Speed electric headlight covers and sequential tail lights. The car has a killer stance on 18 US Mags Rambler black wheels with a polished lip. The front wheels are 18x8 and the rear wheels are 18x9.5. The wheels are wrapped with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires that are 245-40-18 on the front and 275-40-18 on the rear. This wheel and tire package looks amazing and the tires stick to the pavement.


The deluxe interior of this Camaro was designed and restored with the exterior in mind. The black and houndstooth complements the exterior perfectly. The headliner and sun visors are tight. The dome light works as it should. Read more at www.msclassiccars.com
