1. I suppose it would be more profitable to restore a 68 rs 250 6 cylinder camaro & throw in a v8? or keep the 6? The car does NOT have the original 250 straight 6. Nor can the original engine be located. I wonder how many of these cars are LEFT today, & if an rs 230 straight 6 is out there somewhere. Got to be even rarer. hmmh
I have very quick steering. 3.2 turns lock to lock! Is that an optional quick ratio steering box on a 6 cylinder?!! Please count your turns locks to lock on your 68 camaros.
2. Is it possible to get the front air dam like on this turbo z camaro? Is it being reproduced today? Or something similar?

I had a # match 67 230 cu in 6 cyl RS. It also was a 3 on the tree and had the mag wheel hubcaps. Butternut yellow with black standard interior. The guy I sold it too has kept the car with the 6 cylinder.

Rare doesn't always mean desireable. I know some may love the 6 cylinder but I think most potential buyers are looking for an 8.
Just my opinion....
