Chevrolet continued its commitment to building a fast, sporty car with the 1968 Z/28 Sport Coupe.
Camaro No. 2 came along in 1968 and was little more than a slightly modified version of the first edition that gained a “big-block” 396-cid V-8 during the year. To spot a 1967 model you can look for vent windows. To spot a 1968 model you should look for no vent windows, plus the addition of front and rear side marker lights (required to conform with new federal safety regulations). There were engineering refinements that Chevrolet said were “designed to keep the ‘68 Camaro the finest car in its field.”

Glamour was the strong point of the 1968 Rally Sport package and husky performance was the calling card of the Camaro SS option. The base Camaro engine was again a 230-cid inline six-cylinder, while the 327-cid small-block remained the base V-8. A 350-cid V-8 was standard in the Camaro SS, but the Turbo-Jet 396-cid V8 was the hot ticket for the lead-footed set. Cars with this engine were treated to a black-finished rear body panel to set them off as something special.
