1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible â?" Fuel-Injected 350 V8, Blue and Orange Custom Build Why This Car Is Special The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is widely regarded as the high point of the first-generation design. Chevrolet refined the body lines from the 1967 debut year, smoothing out some edges while keeping the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the platform so competitive against the Ford Mustang. For 1968, Camaro production reached approximately 235,000 units, and of those, fewer than 21,000 were convertibles â?" making the open-top body style a genuine minority in the first-gen Camaro population even before you start factoring in specific engine and option combinations. This particular 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible is not a numbers-matching show car, and it is not trying to be. It has been built as a driver â?" a well-funded, thoughtfully assembled custom that prioritizes real-world performance and usability. The centerpiece of the build is a Ram-Jet fuel injection unit fitted to a 350 cubic inch small-block V8. The Ram-Jet system, originally developed by GM and revived in the modern era as a port fuel injection setup designed to bolt onto traditional small-block architecture, gives this engine cleaner throttle response and better fuel metering than a carburetor, all while maintaining a look that fits under the cowl induction hood without issue. Paired with an automatic transmission, this is a car that delivers on the street without demanding a second driver's education course every time you merge onto the highway. The VIN on this car decodes to a 1968 Camaro built at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant, confirming it as a genuine first-generation car with a convertible body style. Norwood was one of two Camaro assembly plants during this era, alongside Van Nuys, California, and cars from both facilities are well-documented in the Camaro hobby.

This is not a factory configuration â?" the 1968 Camaro was never offered with fuel injection from the factory, as GM had phased out the legendary Rochester mechanical fuel injection system in 1965. What the builder has done here is fit a modern Ram-Jet EFI system onto the small-block, which uses individual port injectors controlled by an electronic management system. The result is an engine that idles cleanly, starts reliably in any weather, and delivers consistent power without the tuning variables that come with a carburetor on a modified engine. Supporting the fuel injection setup is a performance distributor, a set of tube headers that replace the factory exhaust manifolds and dramatically improve exhaust scavenging, and a dual exhaust system that exits cleanly out the back. The open element air cleaner feeds the intake directl
