Vehicle Description
A 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible will always make a great
first impression. After all, the factory droptops of this muscle
car legend are rare. But when you can have one that comes with
performance big block power, four-on-the-floor, and a great color
combo, then you know you're looking at true vintage car
distinction.
The '68 Chevelle is a legend. The design has overhangs front &
rear, big chrome bumpers, and intricate trim. It truly wanted to
own the road. So it's great to have one that commands attention so
well. The deep blue paint is an upgrade later in life, so while it
has the darkness worthy of a powerful machine, there's also a shine
you'll really enjoy when the sunlight hits it - exactly what you
want in a sunshine-friendly convertible. And speaking of shine, the
form-fitting bumpers and classic rally wheel package headline a
nice brightwork package. This one has some Super Sport-style
upgrades, like the SS badging, blacked-out rear panel, and the dual
power domes in the hood. It creates a sporty-looking package that
the engine really backs up (more on that in a moment.)
The black roof looks great against the deep blue paint, and when
you fold it down it reveals an even more attractive all-black
interior. It has a nice vintage presentation that is detailed down
to the trim on the doors and the button-top pattern for the seats.
While you'll enjoy sharing this convertible with family and
friends, this one is truly all about the driver. You slip into the
bucket seat, grab the Chevy three-spoke sports steering wheel with
your left hand, and your right one never wants to leave the Hurst
shifter. You've got all the factory gauges right in front of you,
including the cool barrel-style tach - a rare find that Chevelle
people love to see.
The exterior callouts on the side might say 396, but that's a bit
of a fib. This one is packing a much larger 454 cubic-inch big
block. The V8 looks great filling the engine bay with its bold
orange block, shining valve covers, newer belts, and a bright air
grabber. But beneath the style is the substance of a Holley
dual-feed four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake,
and Accel HEI ignition. This total package exhales with authority
out of long tube headers that add power while contributing to the
rumble of the Flowmaster H-pipe dual exhaust. You have complete
control over the sound and the fury of this total power package
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Beyond just a
dominating total drivetrain package, this Chevelle offers good
control. Features like power steering and power brakes w/discs up
front give it a commanding feeling on the streets.
Chevrolet only built 10,600 Chevelle convertibles in 1968, making
them a very rare commodity over half a century later. So to find
one with all the right features for a powerful driving experience
is the kind of treat that doesn't come around very often. Call
