In 1968 the Chevrolet Camaro received only minor changes in it's second year in production. The grill took on a more horizontal look while the vent windows were dropped and side marker lights were added. Multi-leaf rear springs also replaced the single-leaf units and rear shock absorbers were now staggered. Also new was the optional 396 V8 - 350hp, for the SS package. The Z-28 "MO" option was easier to spot as it now sported Z-28 or 302 badges.
