VERY RARE 1968 RS/SS Camaro

4 spd Convertible Matching Numbers

This rare 68 RS/SS was owned by a little old lady who purchased the car new & owned it for 35 yrs. In 2003 she sold it to her neighbor who had it painted and the L48 engine & the Muncie tranny rebuilt to factory specs. I purchased the car from her neighbor in 2016. Since 2003 there has only been a little more then 20,000 miles put on this beautiful machine. This RS/SS is in excellent condition a strong # 2. # 1 being a trailer queen # 5 being a basket case. The interior is in great condition the only thing it needs is each bucket seat has a 2 inch area that has to be restitched. These are NO tears it's right on the seam where the stitching separated in the exact same spot on each seat. I was quoted a price of $206 only $103 a seat but she can't take it until after the new year. The hideaway headlight switch needs to be replaced too but also can't be repaired until after the new year. I only bring my cars to one shop, the good news is he does a great job, the bad news is sometimes you have to wait. I recently had a new heater core replaced, oil change and 4 new tires added. In my 55 yrs I've owned about 45 muscle cars mostly big blocks. There's only two small blocks I've owned that can not only hang with the big blocks but beat most one is this RS/SS & an AAR Cuda I once had. The paint still shines great there's only a couple of little nicks & one spot by the antenna that could use some attention. The convertible top is in excellent condition. This is one very rare & special vehicle.

Here is some info I found on car gurus:

There were 40,977 RS's and 30,695 SS's produced in 1968. Of course, many fewer than this survive today.

I also looked on a number of sites to try and find out specifically now many RS/SS models were made but apparently it is so rare that most Camaro sites don't list it as a trim. I did find one site that said "It is impossible to determine how many "base" models were produced because certain options were combined with others (for example, you could combine the Rally Sport option with the Super Sport, Z/28, and Custom Interior options), and there is no breakdown of production numbers when options were combined."

I also happened to come across a 1968 Camaro RS/SS with the 350 badges and also a rally sport badge behind the front tire but it has a white nose strip, white leather seats, and a white rag top. also has auto windows, locks and driver seat. but the number of sites that i looked on the common number i found was about 600 to 700 RS/SS's were made back in 1968 but like the one guy said most of those cars did not survive to this day so that number could be drastically less. could possible be under 100 or above 100 so defiantly restore that thing.
