69NovaYenko Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I was recently engaged in a casual conversation about converting the newly tooled Revell `67 Camaro into a `68 Camaro with a fellow forum member and they suggested that I confer with others on the nuances between the two first generation Camaro`s. Beyond deleting the driver/passenger door vent windows and adding side marker lights due to a `68 federal motor vehicle mandate the exteriors were pretty much the same. I`m also aware that the rear shocks on the `68 were staggered to reduce wheel hop under hard acceleration. Are there any other notable differences that I`m over looking?
Junkman Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) The '68 also had a more pointed grille and divided taillights. The front running lights (on non-RS models) were also changed from circular to oval.With the Astro Ventilation that allowed the omission of the vent windows came a revised dashboard containing - well - air vents.The seat pattern was also changed.

Snake45 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 If you want a '68, you're better off starting with the AMT kit due to the badly shaped front and rear ends of the Revell body. The AMT body needs a couple minor fixes to correct the shape, but these are easily accomplished. I have a tutorial down in that section on how to do it.And of course the AMT will have an accurate '68 interior.
69NovaYenko Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks one and all for the insight.
