I have a 1968 camaro thats all original. I was just wondering would any one recomend changing out the original rear end for one with a posi.

You could always add a posi if you needed ? What are the plans for the car ?

I want to keep it as original as posible. Do u think adding a posi would hurt the value of it?

Find a 10 bolt 8.5 rear end from a 70's nova some had posi but if not you could get the posi carrier and gears from a second gen camaro/trans am. It is a bolt in setup. I just did it on my 68. Then you could keep your original 8.2. Theres an article in Chevy High Performance " Budget 10-bolt upgrade"

Thanks for the info. About how much did that cost u??

Try and keep what ever you take off the car so it can go back to all original at a later time if you change your mind.
In my opinion having an all original Camaro is something special.

Yeah i think so to. I would just love to have a posi.

how about some pictures of that 68.
we love pictures here.

I havent took any yet. One day i will though.

value is in the eye of the buyer. ive seen completely un-original cars sell for more then original ones. All depends on what the buyer is looking for.

My advice, Your car build it the way you want.

Adding a posi wouldn't be all that hard.
Now you want to keep it numbers matching ??? Is it just a cruiser ? Then the open rear would be fine IMO.

Well i plan on it being a daily driver. Are u saying keeping the numbers matching by like adding just a posi unit??

he means by keeping your original date coded rear end.
