1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Touring LS3 6.2 V8 Manual. A high-end, no-expense-spared custom build with only 1,000 miles since completion. Designed as a turnkey Trans Am-inspired car ready for road courses and everyday use, it’s also a stunning show car capable of  winning any show. Supplied with 2 binders of specifications and documentation.

EXTERIOR:

Custom bodywork throughout, with subtle and bold modifications. The front features a bumperless design, a reworked valance with 1969 running lights, and a small integrated spoiler. It boasts modern Camaro sport mirrors, a cowl hood, and mesh grilles under the cowl vents. The fenders, quarters, and rockers are extended and boxed to create a lowered, aggressive stance. The rear trunk and quarters feature a custom dove tail, with a pop-up fuel filler relocated to the trunk lid. Painted in gorgeous Le Mans Blue with a high-gloss finish, the car has retrofitted Corvette bumperettes and charcoal gray gloss trim. New dark-tinted glass and Forgiato wheels (worth $1,200 each) on brand new Michelins with 20-inch rears that are extra wide. Hidden Rain Gear wiper system in the cowl.

INTERIOR:

Luxurious leather and suede upholstery. Sport seats keep you firmly in place, and the rear seat is custom upholstered to match the front. The door panels are sculpted and feature relocated, custom handles. Power windows are controlled via micro-switches hidden in the window cranks. The leather-wrapped dash pad complements the custom blue-lit gauges and blue push-button starter. Vintage Air climate controls are electric for smooth operation. A custom center console houses a power mirror switch and the 5-speed shifter. The Billet Specialties tilt steering column is topped with a stylish wheel. The headliner and visors are suede, and the stereo system features a retro unit, amp, aux plugs, and speakers throughout. Premium wool carpet with matching bound mats.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT:

An $8,438 LS3 6.2L crate engine with 495 horsepower and 473 lb-ft of torque. The engine features a nodular crank, powdered rods, hypereutectic pistons, and a race cam, paired with a polished Spectre intake tube and color-matched valve covers. Exhaust gases exit through Hedmann stainless shorty headers. March Pro Track brackets and pulleys drive a serpentine belt, powering a polished alternator and A/C compressor. A custom Auto Rad aluminum radiator with dual electric fans ensures cooling, while premium hoses and fittings complete the setup. The hydro-boost system powers the steering and brakes. The engine bay is smooth, glossy, and meticulously detailed, with a custom aluminum firewall and core support.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT:

Completely boxed and carpeted, with a suede-covered underside of the trunk lid. An Optima battery with a billet hold-down bracket and an amplifier for the stereo are housed behind the rear panel. The relocated windshield washer bottle adds to the clean look. The trunk is accessible via a remote cable behind the license plate, with painted jambs and new weather stripping.

UNDERSIDE:

Built for performance with independent suspension front and rear. The front features a Chris Alston Chassisworks subframe with tubular control arms, adjustable coil-over shocks, and rack & pinion steering. The rear sports a Heidts Pro G independent suspension system, designed for high horsepower and ideal for autocross handling, with tubular control arms, traction bars, adjustable coil-over shocks, and inboard disc brakes. The brake system includes Wilwood 6-piston calipers in front, braided hoses, stainless lines, and a new e-brake. The exhaust is a custom 2.5-inch stainless system with MagnaFlow mufflers. The 5-speed Tremec is mated to an aluminum motor, with a QuickTime bell housing and billet flywheel. The driveshaft leads to a 9-inch rear with 3.70 posi gears and custom Alston mini tubs for wider rear tires. The underside is meticulously detailed, with the floors matching the body color and every component carefully finished.

This Camaro is not only a visual masterpiece but also a performance powerhouse. It offers exceptional handling, with cutting-edge suspension and braking systems, all backed by a potent LS3 engine. Ready to impress on the track or show.

Purchased from a private collection in Switzerland and offered for sale within the UK for the first time.

A Camaro unlikely to be seen again in the UK, compared to similar high quality examples for sale in the States, some of which are sold for double, or even triple, the asking price of our example – we believe this Pro Touring Camaro presents a unique and outstanding opportunity. Whether you’re based in the UK, Europe, or back in the States, this iconic American classic offers incredible value.

Testimonials

“It’s absolutely immaculate on every level, I don’t think I’ve seen a car of that age in such fine condition. Nobody does it better than Retro, quality of vehicle’s, world class service and a fantastic family. We will be back for a Camaro in the future!”

Dave Hodgson Jnr & Snr

“I’ve recently bought a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray 350 V8 L46 Manual from Retro Classic Car. This is my first experience of dealing with the father & Son (Adrian & Sam). Absolutely lovely people to deal with, nothing is too much trouble, they have lots of knowledge & extremely honest. I would highly recommend Retro Classic Car. The only place I would ever go to know.”

Simon Cope

“We bought a Pontiac Firebird convertible from Adrian and Sam. The situation could not have been easier. Met them at their fantastic showroom. It is difficult, when you are in there, not to buy more than one car, they really do have some fantastic stock. We spent a very pleasant hour going over the car and came to a very fair deal. No pressure sales rule at Retro Classic. A couple of weeks later, Adrian and Sam, very kindly delivered the car to our house. I am sure we will buy more cars from them in the future, they are the easiest of all people to thoroughly recommend to other classic car buyers. All the best.”

Howard & Jayne Whitham

“Absolute pleasure to deal with. Great communication and proper old fashioned customer led service. Just purchased a beautiful 67 Mustang from these guys and cannot recommend them high enough.”“Just very grateful for you and Dads efforts to make sure the car is right. It is an absolute pleasure to deal with a company that has such a great ethic and I can understand why you deserve to do well and have earn’t your reputation. I look forward to many future deals and being a loyal customer that introduces more clients to you. What a pleasure your business is to deal with.”

Ross Winmill

“Thanks to both Sam and Adrian – great cars and made the whole buying process really easy. As someone that does not know too much about cars, they were happy to spend time with me, taking me through all the details and ensuring the car was right for me. The car has been great and delivering exactly what they said it would. Really appreciate it and thoroughly recommend them.”

William Habberfield

“If you’re in the market to buy or change your classic car, you must visit these guys at Retro Classic Car. Both Adrian and Sam are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and honest. They will give you a good deal for a part-exchange, and proactively assist your in choosing the right car for you. The best overall car buying experience I’ve ever had-they deserve all success. Thank you sincerely, guys! I’ll certainly be back…”

Paul Knight

“Absolutely first class service from Sam and Adrian, and the start of a long relationship! Their knowledge is exceptional (I was a first time classic car buyer) and their attention to detail and service is amongst the best I’ve ever experienced in any field. If there is a car in Retro’s show room, I would know it’s of the highest quality possible, and the guys passion for their cars will do the rest. I would highly recommend.”

Arlo White

“I purchased a ’64 Mustang Convertible from Adrian. After speaking with him at length, I felt confident to purchase the car sight unseen, and Adrian made sure to deliver what must surely be the finest example of its type in the UK, fully serviced and ready to go. Highly recommended seller, and I hope to be back for another car in the future.”

Robert Jordan

“I had a really positive experience with Retro Classic. As this was my first purchase of a car of this age I had a lot of questions and I thought the guys were both patient and informative and I never felt rushed or pressured at any time in the process. Both Adrian and Sam were a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend organizing a visit to their showroom, it’s like an auto sweet shop.”

Gordon Affleck

“An absolute pleasure to deal with Retro Classics, Adrian and Sam are knowledgeable, professional and above all extremely personable and helpful. They kept me informed at all times in regard to the car and the quality of photos , video and advertising must be second to none. I can’t recommend these guys and this company to highly, many thanks.”

Ian Gibson

Adrian and Sam were absolutely amazing and a pleasure to deal with. They helped us every step of the way in helping us find our dream corvette. They are complete car enthusiasts and no pushy sales tactics at all, they let their beautiful cars do all the work. If your looking for a classic American car dealer look no further!”

Adam Bennett

“Recently brought a classic mustang from retro classics. Really impressed with the professionalism and honesty from Adrian. He was extremely helpful and efficient. Got an amazing car that we as a family are over the moon with, it was delivered safely and on time as arranged and Adrian has been extremely helpful even in after sales as I have been in contact since for useful contacts for the future. Would 100% recommend. Would give 6 stars if I could”

Daniel & Marie Nolan

“Always brilliant service from Adrian and Sam at Retro Classic Car, its always a pleasure to do business with them, I have sold two cars with them and they are professional from start to finish, I couldn’t recommend this company enough, have a look round their showroom its fantastic, full of interesting vehicles and lots to talk about, everybody is made to feel very welcome and their knowledge and interest in cars is superb.”

Dave & Jayne Watson

“I don’t normally review things but I think for this company is truly justified. Adrian and Sam a father and son team which was really nice to see know their product inside out and are truly passionate about what they sell. I’m not the most patient person on the planet and they just looked after me. I would have no problem in purchasing another vehicle from this company thanks again chaps”

Roberto Nardone 

“Brought the car blind after many conversations with Adrian, the car is better than described, its an absolute dream all thanks to you guys, even brought the car to me in an enclosed trailer, Thanks guys”

“I have purchased 2 cars from Adrian and Sam over the last 4 years, on both occasions Adrian and Sam have been amazing to do business with, and always very knowledgeable and always able to obtain the best quality cars around. I would definitely use them in the future to purchase any further cars and would recommend them to anybody who wants a great car with great service. I had the pleasure of meeting them both recently and they are just as helpful in person. Highly recommend.”

Graham Sparks

“What a terrific place, I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Adrian and Sam are very easy to work with and very helpful taking your through all the cars details, I would say one of the best places in the UK to buy a classic yank, I will be recommending them to a few of my musician friends who also own and run classic American motors”

Daves Burgees

“Just purchased my Mach 1 from Adrian and Sam at Retro and what a fantastic car. I’ve been looking for another classic for a while now and all I can say is the cars that they sell are all exceptional. They are both incredibly friendly and welcoming when you go to visit them, and both have a real passion and knowledge for the cars they sell. I would definitely use them again in the future and would highly recommend Retro to anyone else thinking of buying a classic car through them, you certainly will not be disappointed.”

Mark Merrydew 

“Great experience buying from Adrian and Sam. Well kept and stocked showroom and happily accommodated an early morning viewing. They had the car delivered for me which was hassle free and subsequently have been checking in to ensure I’m happy with my purchase. Couldn’t ask for more. Many thanks”

Piers Hulford

“I purchased a Camaro Z28 of these 2 guys (recently) from the first time I met Sam I found this engaging young man to be polite, professional, not at all pushy and very pleasant for us petrol fuel old guys to deal with. I have never seen cars prepared to such a high standard, 100% better paint finish etc than when some of their mustangs etc where new in the USA. One would have no hesitation in recommending a purchase from these 2 gentleman..”

Richard O’Brien

“I recently bought a 2020 Mustang from Retro Classic Car and I have to say it was a great buying experience from start to finish. Sam is a great guy, very professional and very personable, and he made the buying experience a real pleasure. Needless to say the car itself was also perfect, exactly as described and I got a great deal. If the missus will allow it, I’ll gladly be buying from them again in the future! Thanks Sam! You’re a star.”

Mark Clayden

“Adrian and Sam were very professional when I purchased my car from them. They were very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate. I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from them and highly recommend checking out their showroom.”

Christopher Rand

“We brought a fantastic truck for my dad for his birthday. It is everything it is in the pictures and more, he loves everything about it . Sam and Adrian are very helpful and understanding. All the vehicles that we saw at retro classics were showroom cars and outstanding. We would definitely recommend it as the place to go and wouldn’t go anywhere else in future.”

Riley Cooper 

“What a fantastic business Retro Classic Car is. Adrian and Sam are the most honest, direct and interested motor traders I’ve encountered. Their passion for their product is palpable and their level of service is truly outstanding. They are clearly more interested in building a relationship than they are in making a ‘sale’! If anything, they undersold the condition of my hard sought ’71 Mustang Mach 1. I will definitely work with these gentleman again and look forward to a long relationship – now off to build a bigger garage!”

Justin Byrne 

“Just bought a Pontiac Trans Am GTA 1988. I love the car and Adrian and Sam have been so professional throughout the whole process. They are so friendly, and their enthusiasm towards the cars they are selling is infectious! It has been a pleasure dealing with them. I wouldn’t hesitate when I buy my next classic car to go straight to them.”

Geoff & Angela Trattles

“Waited 30 years to buy my dream car. Found her at Retro classic car, what a fantastic experience meeting Sam and his dad they put my mind at ease when buying my car, very friendly and passionate about what they do, made my experience so much easier to decide to make my dream come true, totally recommend these guys and will definitely use them again and now I have my car I couldn’t be happier”

Gary Duffon

“Bought my first old American from Retro Classic Car. These guys Adrian and Sam are great to deal with. Real pleasure. Nice showroom in a lovely setting. Would definitely deal with again. Thanks guys.”

David Anderson

“It was an absolute pleasure buying a car from Sam and Adrian! The quality of there cars is exactly what you would expect from a top classic car supplier….”

Dougie Feltham

“Traveled a long way to buy a car here and was not disappointed. The car was as described, immaculate, and I was made welcome by the guys that run Retro Classics. That were happy to chat over tea/coffee and I could tell customer care is important to them. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this business in the future, and I don’t throw praise like that around very often.”

Stephen Tiggerdine

“After buying cars for the past 35 years I have never had such a great experience with any garage, rang to make an appointment to view. I was told everything about the car before I arrived and on the day I viewed the car I was shown everything, then was left to check over the car and all the paperwork on my own which makes a refreshing change, was never any pushy sales. After buying the car I was invited to pop in for cuppa whenever I am passing which tells me how confident Sam is in the car I bought. I haven’t bought my car from a garage I’ve bought a car from car enthusiasts thanks again Sam & Adrian.”
