Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1968 Chevrolet
Chevelle.
HISTORY
The 1968 Chevelle received an all-new distinctly sculpted body with
tapered front fenders and a rounded beltline. The car adopted a
long-hood/short-deck profile with a high rear-quarter "kick-up".
While all 1967 Chevelle models rode a 115-inch (2,900�mm)
wheelbase, the 1968 coupes and convertibles now rode a 112-inch
(2,800�mm) wheelbase. The sedans and wagons turned to a 116-inch
(2,900�mm) span. Tread width grew an inch front and rear. Hardtop
coupes featured a semi-fastback, flowing roofline. Top-trim models
(including the SS 396 and new luxury Concours) featured GM's new
Hide-A-Way wiper system. Lesser Chevelles would get that change
later. The Super Sport (SS396 sport coupe, convertible, and El
Camino pickup) became series on its own. Chevrolet produced 60,499
SS 396 sport coupes, 2,286 convertibles, and 5,190 El Caminos; 1968
was the only year the El Camino body style would get its own SS396
series designation (13880). Black-accented Super Sports had F70x14
red-stripe tires and a standard 325-horsepower 396-cubic-inch
Turbo-Jet V8 engine with the special twin-domed hood; 350 and
375-horsepower 396 engines were optional. The SS 396 sport coupe
started at $2,899 - or $236 more than a comparable Malibu with its
307-cubic-inch V8. All-vinyl bucket seats and a console were
optional. Three luxury Concours options became available in March
1968 for the 4-door sedan, the 4-door sport sedan and consisted of
special sound insulation, and a deep-padded instrument panel
with�simulated woodgrain�accents and all-vinyl color-keyed
interiors. These Concours options (ZK5, ZK6, and ZK7) should not be
confused with the two Concours station wagons. Also new for 1968
was the elimination of the term "sedan" for the 2-door pillar body
style. This was now called a coupe (or pillar coupe) while the
2-door hardtop remained a sport coupe. These coupe/sport coupe
designations would continue into 1969 as well. The Concours Estate
Wagon was one of four distinct Chevelle wagon models. A
one-year�Nomad, Nomad Custom was offered. Regular Chevelle engines
started with a 140 horsepower (100�kW) Turbo-Thrift six or the new
200 horsepower (150�kW) Turbo-Fire 307 V8, and a 325 horsepower
(242�kW) version of the 327-cubic-inch V8. Manual transmission cars
got GM's "Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R)" smog pump. New Federal
safety-mandated equipment included side marker lights, as well as
shoulder belts for outboard front seat occupants on cars built
after December 1, 1967.
