Original Owner Reunited With Her 1968 Camaro RS/SS After 58 Years! | Island Girl

After 58 years apart, Pat Klein was reunited with the 1968 Camaro RS/SS she ordered brand-new as a 20-year-old young woman! Pat ordered the Island Teal Camaro during the summer of 1967 through her father’s dealership, Ray Klein Chevrolet in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Her passion for performance cars led her to choose an incredible combination: an L48 350, M20 4-speed transmission, 12-bolt Positraction rear end, tach and gauges, and deluxe interior. The Camaro’s ownership history spans three dedicated caretakers: 1967-1968: Pat Klein - Original Owner Pat ordered the car new and had not seen it since 1968. 1968-1989: Tom Lukatch - Second Owner Tom purchased the Camaro directly from the dealership’s used-car showroom in October 1968 when he was just 19 years old. His father had to co-sign the loan so he could buy it! 1989-Present: Fred Schempp - Third Owner Fred purchased the Camaro in 1989 and has carefully preserved its remarkable history for future generations of Camaro enthusiasts. **Fred was finally awarded a PA title from the court system after proof of a signed receipt of payment from 1989!** At the 2026 Camaro Nationals, Pat finally came face-to-face with her beloved Camaro once again. Watch as she sees “Island Girl,” shares memories from her time with the car and even climbs back behind the wheel. With only 40,096 miles and having been off the road since 1976, this Camaro is more than a classic car... it is a timeline of memories, families and generations. Thank you to Pat Klein, Tom Lukatch and Fred Schempp for preserving and sharing this unforgettable piece of Camaro history! #Camaro #1968Camaro #CamaroRSSS #CamaroNationals #ClassicCamaro #ChevroletCamaro #BarnFind #MuscleCar #CamaroCentral #IslandGirl
