For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS tribute convertible has an awesome color combo, an upgraded big block, and the control of four-on-the-floor. It all makes for an iconic drop-top that maximizes both its powerful presence and true cruiser style.


The '68 Chevelle is a true red-blooded American classic, and so it's always going to look terrific painted in red. It's a quality application that happened later in life, and so you have a nice gloss that's ideal for a sunshine-friendly convertible. Plus, this one even looks good with the top in place. The blackout rockers and full-length SS stripe combine with the clean-looking black folding roof for a classy two-tone style. And we love the sporty style of a proper SS tribute that includes the dual power dome hood, SS badging, and mag-style wheels with raised white letter tires. It all makes an attractive and powerful first impression.


With the flip of a switch, the top powers down to reveal quite a distinct interior. Where the exterior is red with black accents, the color theme seems to switch inside. And the red is not just on the lower dash and carpeting. As you slip inside, you'll see this has a full custom setup on the seats, door panels, and dash that all have contrast stitching in a thoughtful red. You may want to upgrade the stereo or restore the tach, but this is already done to be a terrific driver. The front bucket seats, wood-rimmed steering wheel, tilt column, and robust shifter in the center console make this quite fun.


The dark inner walls of the engine bay really let all the polished components of this big block take center stage. This 454 cubic-inch V8 is built for power with a four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and ceramic-coated headers feeding the dual exhaust. There are nice supporting components, like the MSD ignition, dual electric fans, and polished aluminum pulleys. This is a true power car, and you get to harness it fully thanks to the control of the four-speed manual transmission. And the full package is a solid driver thanks to power steering, wide Cooper Cobra tires, and upgraded Hotchkis rear trailing arms.


This SS tribute is a distinct drop-top with all the right features for power and poise. Call today!!!
