Pretty car. Well done restoration. Congrats to the owner and agree his brother would be very proud.

Nice car! Looks like the twin to my car. Wish my L78 was a L89. LeMans Blue is the best color, with Rallye Green a close second IMO. Then of course Hugger orange in 1969 is my favorite color. Can't wait for more pics

This car is a work in progress and has a list of item to change if owner feels inclined. That 730 Parchment interior with a black headliner and white trim. Unique but for me not so much!

Thanks, Paul, for the dealer advertisements. According to Shipping Dealer records it was completed at the Norwood plant on 3/26/68

I think it's cool looking. Much better than black. I do think the pinch welt on the headliner would've been better black....Joe

Here’s a couple more old Newspaper Ads, sorry but nothing of ‘68 Camaros.
Looks like Moorehead lost their Chevy Franchise for actions contrary to their GM agreement, ceasing operation 10/74 as this link…
