 L30 327 four-bbl Turbo Fire V8, with 275 hp.
“front accent band” stripe. 
the Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission
vinyl top
power steering and power brakes.

 

Based on Chevrolet Van Nuys Assembly Plant records, this Camaro was built on the first day of 1968 production.

This supports the idea that this was used to try out certain assembly operations for certain options, because the factory needed to have the assembly line procedure worked out. That would explain why it has some higher-end options and lower-end ones, too.
