1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Restomod - LS3 / Roadster Shop SPEC Chassis / Custom Red Leather
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is a high-level custom build completed in 2026, combining timeless first-generation Camaro styling with a modern LS3 drivetrain, Roadster Shop SPEC-series chassis, custom red leather interior, and premium pro-touring hardware throughout. Finished in white with a red soft top over a custom red leather cabin, this Camaro has the classic RS-inspired look buyers love, backed by the engineering and drivability expected from a serious modern restomod.
Built around a Roadster Shop SPEC-series chassis, powered by a 6.2L LS3 V8, and paired with a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission, this Camaro was designed to be far more than a cosmetic build. It offers modern power, improved handling, upgraded braking, rack-and-pinion steering, adjustable coilovers, and the kind of refined presentation that makes it stand out in any collection.
Exterior
The body was refinished in white during the custom build, giving this Camaro a clean, crisp, and timeless appearance. The white exterior pairs beautifully with the red soft top and red interior, creating a striking color combination that feels both classic and high-end.
The exterior has been upgraded with a cowl hood, rear spoiler, flush-fit windshield, RS-style grille with hideaway headlights, and premium Ring Brothers mirrors and door handles. The firewall was smoothed during the build, helping give the engine bay a cleaner, more custom presentation.
Additional details include billet hood hinges, polished trim, chrome accents, and classic first-gen Camaro body lines that remain instantly recognizable. The result is a car that keeps the soul of a 1968 Camaro while adding the detail and execution of a modern pro-touring build.
Wheels & Stance
This Camaro sits on 18-inch Rally-style wheels with chrome center caps, giving the car a perfect blend of factory-inspired style and modern performance presence. The wheels are wrapped in staggered Pirelli P-Zero tires, giving the car a wider, more planted stance and the traction needed to match the upgraded chassis and LS3 power.
The stance is purposeful without being overdone. It looks classic at a glance, but the fitment, tire package, and chassis hardware make it clear this is a serious custom build.
Interior
Inside, the cabin has been completely reimagined with custom red leather upholstery. The front bucket seats, rear bench, door panels, dash pad, and custom center console are all trimmed to match, creating a cohesive, upscale interior that pairs perfectly with the white exterior and red convertible top.
The cabin features a Lokar shifter, digital stereo, Vintage Air climate-control system, and Dakota Digital instrumentation. A Billet Specialties steering wheel frames the gauge cluster, which includes a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, dual digital displays, and readouts for fuel level, voltage, temperature, and oil pressure.
The result is a cockpit that still feels like a first-generation Camaro, but with the comfort, finish, and technology expected in a modern custom build.
Engine & Drivetrain
Power comes from a 6.2L LS3 crate engine, one of the most desirable modern Chevrolet performance engines. The LS3 is known for its reliability, broad powerband, strong aftermarket support, and excellent street manners, making it an ideal choice for a pro-touring Camaro.
This LS3 has been dressed and upgraded with a fabricated sheet-metal intake manifold, custom air intake, Holley oil pan, red Chevrolet-script coil covers, and a clean engine bay presentation. An aluminum radiator with a custom cover panel and dual electric fans helps support cooling.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission and a 9-inch rear axle, giving the car a strong and proven drivetrain combination. Stainless headers feed into a custom dual exhaust system with a crossover pipe and Borla mufflers, giving the LS3 the sound and attitude this build deserves.
Chassis, Suspension & Brakes
The foundation of this Camaro is one of its biggest highlights. The car rides on a Roadster Shop SPEC-series chassis, a major upgrade over the original unibody-style platform and one of the most respected chassis solutions in the pro-touring world.
The chassis features fabricated front control arms, rear four-link suspension, adjustable coilovers, and power rack-and-pinion steering. This gives the car a much more precise and modern driving feel compared to a stock first-gen Camaro.
Braking is handled by hydroboost-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with a Wilwood master cylinder and drilled/slotted rotors. This setup gives the car the stopping capability needed to match its LS power and upgraded handling.
The Drive
This Camaro was built to deliver the full restomod experience. The LS3 provides modern horsepower and reliability, the 4L65E automatic makes the car easy to drive, and the Roadster Shop SPEC chassis transforms the way the car feels on the road.
With rack-and-pinion steering, adjustable coilovers, a rear four-link setup, hydroboost brakes, Vintage Air, Dakota Digital gauges, and a custom leather interior, this is a Camaro that can be shown, driven, and enjoyed at a very high level.
The digital odometer indicates under three miles, with approximately 30 miles driven since the build was completed. Following completion, the car was offered as the prize for a charity raffle, after which the winner selected the cash option.
For anyone looking for a first-generation Camaro convertible with premium components, modern LS power, show-quality presentation, and real pro-touring substance, this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is an outstandi
