4-Speed, Drop-Top...this car rocks! We are honored to bring this
beautiful 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible to market.
This is a true SS, 4-Speed car that was built on June 24, 1968 and
was originally purchased through Lyles Chevrolet of High Point,
North Carolina. It was most recently vetted by our friends at
Leadfoot Muscle Cars of Holland, Michigan and has always been
garage-kept. The car is extremely clean and turns heads wherever
seen. This Chevelle is finished in factory Matador Red with a black
soft top (code R2) over Black imitation leather bench seats (code
765). The car is powered by a numbers matching 396ci/350hp Big
Block V8 motor with a 4-Speed Manual transmission (code ED). The
motor was built on June 11 in GM's Tonawanda Engine Plant and then
mated with the body at the Baltimore Assembly Plant on June 24.
Production sequence numbers in the VIN and on the block match:
218157. The car was restored right with no corners cut in 2007. It
has a power convertible soft top, dual exhaust, white letter tires
wrapped around SS wheels, dual bench seats, boot cover, original
manual, and the desirable 4-speed manual gearbox. It also comes
with the original valve covers, air cleaner, and steering wheel. It
is an awesome car with no excuses. Fires on command, shifts smooth,
and offers a nostalgic driving experience. Be sure to check out all
the photos and video of the car running on our main website: Garage
Kept Motors. Call or e-mail if interested. Thank you for looking.
