Vehicle Description
For 1968, the Chevelle got 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" and
hardtop coupes featured a semi-fastback, flowing roofline. The
'68's also rode a new sportier 112-inch wheelbase and tire tread
width grew an inch front and rear. Top-trim models (including the
SS 396 and new luxury Concours) featured GM's new Hide-A-Way wiper
system and the Super Sport became a series on its own.
Additionally, manual transmission cars got GM's "Air Injection
Reactor" (A.I.R.) smog pump.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this '68 Chevelle SS 396. The
car originally sold new in Cleveland, Ohio. It is a 138 code true
SS 396 Chevelle. It was painted in 2013 in Matador Red with black
racing stripes and shows very well. The Chevelle has a factory 4
speed Muncie M21 "Rock Crusher" on the floor with a Hurst shifter,
with a 12 bolt/308 posi traction rear end. The 396 is period
correct and was rebuilt in 1979 and has 2200 hours on it since
rebuild. The transmission was rebuilt and given a new heavy duty
clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing and the flywheel was
re-surfaced in 2016 and has under 100 miles on it. The Chevelle
also has a Bulletproof Bell housing, ladder bars, front power disc

windshield patch panels. The work was done very well and everything
lines up properly and closes tight and snug with no out of line
body lines.
