- Buying A One Owner 1968 Inline 6 Convertible Camaro
Cliff was bestowed with his beloved 1968 Camaro upon his return home from Southeast Asia in January 1968 a thoughtful gift from his parents for his service in the US Military and to aid his endeavors in school. Over the years, he traversed the vast distances between Nebraska, Florida, and California countless times, cherishing each mile traveled in his cherished vehicle. Despite meticulously maintaining the car for 56 years, the demands of the ongoing restoration project eventually overwhelmed him, prompting him to reluctantly bid farewell. At 81 years old, the task proved too difficult. Nevertheless, we remain resolute in our determination to revive her former glory!

This was more of a lesson in life than a 68 Camaro. Imagine the emotion of knowing you've run out of time to fulfill your life's dream of making the car new again. Its a reminder that everyone has a time in which reality will remind you that you can no longer physically achieve what you've planned to do. Time is something none of us can buy. Thank you for your service Cliff.
Yep, have a 46 Chevy business coupe this way ! M/S been kicking my ass 22 years !
Amen to that..I'm just existing myself..Not living..But I could live with that car.. Didn't know a convertible was available in 68..😍Good luck..
Do you know what that age is?
Thank you for your service !!My Father USMC. 64-72
First and foremost to a Vietnam vet, thank you for your service and welcome home, sir!!!
Thanks for your service Cliff, and for caretaking the 68. It's in good hands .
That has to be So Hard to let that Go for that Man. What Memories.
Yeah you could tell it was rough.
He looks good for 81 🇺🇲
Parting with that '68 conjured up a wide range of emotional memories for Cliff...Vietnam, a gift from his parents, Duncan Aviation, cruising, his youth, and a deep appreciation for a classic convertible...No wonder it took him several weeks to come to terms of letting it go...As he repeated several times, he truly believed it was going to be in the right hands of a 1st class shop who could restore it to its glory and beyond, and that was all the reassurance and comfort he needed...WELL DONE RESTORE A MUSCLE CAR...YOU ROCK!!!
Thanks
Wow this episode brought a tear to my eye. My dad handed me the keys to his 68 Camaro in 74 when I started University, a convertible 327 auto. I loved that car. My dad was a Korean War vet , fought at Kap’yong thanks for both your dads and this gentleman’s service.
Just a Plain Jane "68" convertable Camaro.🥰 Great find, congrats!👍🏼
In 1975 @ 16 years old, my second car was a "68" Camaro RS 327 4 speed disc brakes.😍
I bought a '67 with six and column shift 3 speed and it was a one owner, too. The only thing the owner would not give us was the tag on the keys that hung on the dealers key board. She kept it for a souvenir.
Thank you for your service and you look great!❤
Cool car and even cooler caretaker. Seriously what a great guy. The memories, the wrenching, the roadtrips, the foresight to buy those NOS parts even way back when. Hopefully the next owner keeps those photos in the glovebox. Cliff deserves that for sure.
The original owner is 81?? He looks a good decade younger...Good for him 👍
Way different than JB @ 81, that's for sure LOL
…Cliff made the right decision HE made the choice where the car went, not left to the family
My brother had a 68 SS396 Camaro coupe, it was fast. I had a 66 Chevelle SS396 red convertible, red, 4 speed. A friend had a red on red Camaro convertible, 327 stick. Lived that time, I’m 77. Worked 1968 summer at Division Chevrolet (Chicago) delivering these cars, drove an L88, Covette, wow, it was fast!
Compelling story like this deserves a subscription. Hey from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Thank you so much :)
One of the best videos to ever play on RUclips for any true car guy or gal 👍Looking forward to seeing this car come completion & it'd be great to see another video then with this man then 👍
Look forward to this build getting completed!
Midwesterners are such nice people. And this is coming from a southerner.
Super nice gentleman!
I love and appreciate seeing you guys save and preserve history so it’s still here for future generations to see and learn from. But also kinda sad to see another man’s dream fading out. But it’s gonna happen to all of us eventually
Cool Vid.. Us old timers have to say good by some time.
Beautiful car in those pictures!! Especially for a conv
Definitely!
It went to the best of hands.
Dennis is rubbing off on you. Great video!
Amazing find, Amazing story ! I gotta see what you guys do with this.
The car is amazing BUT the story is what makes this such a cool car. 😊
I am rapidly coming to the same conclusion as Cliff. I have owned a muscle car almost my entire life and getting to the point where I can not physically work on it anymore. It really sucks.
Similar story in my town. Guy bought a ‘67 Camaro in ‘67 when he was getting out of army. Still has it, been restored a few years ago. Hardtop,dk blue, 327/auto?
Awesome
This is brutal to watch. However, you have to know when to fold em !!!!
Yeah you could see him choke up a few times it hurt :/
so Nice of you Blessing your way
Wow very cool
Thank you for remembering that there is no E in "Camaro"
Wonderful episode I just subscribed!
Please don't LS bullshit this car . that is the mentally challenged route .. build that 6 it can be a performance 6 .. i have one that has a 6 it was performance modified by selling dealer in 1969 with quadrajet 4 barrel and headers cam and 4 speed car still running 2024 on dealer performance kit 49 k original miles and top still original
Same for paint and interior awesome video thanks for posting keep us updated on
This cars progress 👍👍😊
Hope you treated him fairly
I miss my 67 R.S./S.S. Yellow and dual black stripe black vinal top with a black deluxe interior 396 4 speed with a 12 bolt and disc brakes. Sold it to get married and both are gone. Believe the car is still alive but may be painted red in P.Q.
NICE !!
Thanks
Wow!
My father would be exactly the same age if he was still around he bought a brand new 68 super sport 396 for $3800
I'm curious what is the update on the two Trans ams that were burned up in a fire down in Texas ,?
They are still on hold the owners ended up getting new TAs but some time in the future we might do a full rebuild that would definitely be a cool video.
@@restoreamusclecar ThanK you 😊
Wow. The original owner is trying to tell you the 56 year history of his beloved Camaro, and you stand there and obviously stare at your watch like you can't wait leave! I would have wanted to talk with him for hours about it! Very disrespectful!
Back in 1979 i knew a guy that bought a camero 1968 from.a vietnam veterian parents because theur son never came back from nam 🇺🇲
:( aww thats sad
For me?
Doesn’t sound like he has kids
Not sure never said anything but maybe he does.

The gentleman sure looks good for 81🫡
i got my girlfriend pregnant in the back seat of my 69 Camaro in 1983 ,blah blah blah
