1968 Camaro Export Antwerp Belgium Car

[WILDCAT_65]

Hello Folks. I'm new to the forum and like to say hi to everybody. I've got a nice little collection of old american Muscle and Hot Rod Chevys.

Here is my '68 327 Camaro survivor, that was one of very few Antwerp Belgium built cars. It is very original with only 106'' kilometers on the km/h speedometer. Was long owned in 1st hand, then sold, then sold back to the original owner. Now I have it, and it is a real time capsule with a few "70s Euro Style goodies" added back in the days.Those strange turning signals were mandatory by the TÜV (german safety check b.s.) back then. They will come off soon. Those fog lights I think are weird but cool in a way. I'm also considering selling to good hands maybe, as I have way to many toys at the moment.

Welcome aboard. Awesome car and thanks for sharing the photos. Lets see the rest of your collection.

Nice car. I would leave it as is. The lights etc represent a time period from back in the day.

Great looking car, I love the Euro touches! I notice it does not have retractors for the front seat belts...Antwerp only or have they been swapped out? Does it have sholder belts? (Sorry, just trying to learn more, not critique) Remote mirror,rear defrost, fold down, gauges and a early car with the black ashtray..dang thats cool! Different is good and welcome!!

Thanks everyone! Yes it is very different. The whole vibe from the car compared to other early Camaros I have seen. Retractors, what is that? Where u put the belt buckle to?

[daverd]

I love it
Keep it as it is fantastic Camaro!
Nice and different too!

[PeteLeathersac]

Is it known if the N96 wheel covers are original to the car?

[WILDCAT_65]

Thanks. No I did put on those caps as when I got it, it had some weird Mercury Caps on.

[WILDCAT_65]

U wanted to see other cars. Here's my pride and joy. A Triple Black 65 Buick Wildcat 4 Speed Dual Quad &quot;Superwildcat&quot; 425 cui 360 hp. All original, and the only original 4 Speed dual quad Coupe known to still exist so far. 1 of 85 Coupes. 1 of 15 &quot;Deluxe&quot; Coupes. Bought it last year from the first owner. Is here a topic for Full Size Muscle also? I have 3 more Wildcats. 2 65 and one 66 which is a rare 3 speed Coupe (1 of 23!) and a Chrysler 300B.

That is a very, very cool BUICK! WOW.

[Canuck]

Best looking Buick of the 60's. Love the 4 speed, must be a blast rowing those gears on the Autobahn.

Paul

[WILDCAT_65]

Thanks! On the Autobahn it is not the right car, it has 3.55 gears, so u can't go that fast long, but it is good for rowing the gears and shocking people in the town <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif And it is in fact the best looking Buick, and I think on of the most overlooked cars in history. It is just beautiful, mean, cool, everything at once. I'm glad there is no hype about this car, as I would not be able to buy them anymore.


I see u have a300 F! Very cool! That is one of my dream cars also! And I also have 442 from 69. And Chargers are cool tool!

I really like this forum so far. Many different cars and makes and everybody gets along. That is cool. There are so many cool cars from all the companies. I can't say, I only like one particular. I have my favourites, but they can change with the model year pretty fast.


here's my newest one. 401 automatic with buckets. A 65/66 Wildcat It is a fullsize car with a Muscle Car body. And it has some muscles as well. A gentleman's Muscle Car kind of.

The performance oriented big cars had lots to choose from in 65, 300L 4 speeds, Buicks like yours, 427 Ford galaxie and Big Block Chev. Everybody was focusing on the Muscle cars so these boats are a rariety. Tell us the full story, you wont find a better forum anywhere else and wait until you mmet some of the members here in person! No one hides behind an internet handle.

Ps, that first photo reminds me of a successful farmer &quot;Out Standing in his field&quot;

[ZLP955]

Congratulations, that '65 triple black Buick is an awesome car!

Got me on that one Des! I am not a Buick guy but the Riv and Wildcat did standout. A neighbour had a 66 WC and I witnessed it doing a burnour, I mean sparkout with studded snow tires on dry pavement (it had posi).

[Tracker1]

Ha! Canadian Burnout! The best kind.

[WILDCAT_65]

Yeah, Car Farmer that is my nic in another forum! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

I have those old snowtires in the trunk. Mounted on original chrome Road Wheels. Will try to do this burnout one day <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif
