Hi All I have been a member here for almost and appreciate all of the advice and support. I thought it was time to introduce you guys to my 1968 Camaro. The car is a 396, M22 4 speed 12 bolt 356 rear. The car was born with a 6 cylinder automatic and was blue. The original owner died in 1973 and his estate sold the car to the guy who performed all of the changes. He only used the car for drag racing. I am the 4th owner and the car has 7,800 original miles most of which was added 1/4 mile at a time. Over the winter I added P/S Power Brakes A/C Chassis connectors and a whole bunch of other stuff. The original Sheetmetal floors and trunk are all in perfect condition. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment
Very nice,did you mean 4:56 gears? That would make more sense for drag racing with a 4 speed.
Unusual to see ragtops as race cars,bet she's a gas to drive.

Thank you. The motor and rear were totally rebuilt in 1999 by the third owner. There is about 500 miles on the rebuild. The rear end gears were changed at that time to make it streetable. The roll cage was removed and the interior put back together. Yes it is a gas to drive.

Ahh I see,I had a '69 with a 427 and a couple 396's over the years it was a gas to drive too. Sold it too cheap back in 1990.
What a beauty! I was thinking the same as Y2keglide on the rear gear. I'm used to seeing 355 for a 12 bolt ratio. I recently added rear disc to my 69 to get manual 4 wheel disc brakes to slow down my big block. What are you running for brakes?

The car had drums all around when I got it. Imagine doing an 11 second 1/4 mile and then having non-power drums to stop with. I converted to power front disc brakes using the factory set up.

Smart move, before stock eliminator cars were allowed to run aftermarket brakes, they would run manual 4 wheel drums because they're lighter than the factory disc brakes!
Sweet ride! In the process of restoring my 68. Frame off. Got it back from the body shop after all the body work and paint as a shell. Doing the rest of the assembly myself with as many original parts or original 68 parts. Having a great time doing it too! Enjoy.
