Vehicle Description
A 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle that's a real-deal SS396 and still has
its numbers-matching big block V8 under the hood is a wonderful
thing. So when it also comes with other desirable features like
four-on-the-floor and shining paint, you know this is the complete
hardtop with the exactly what you want.
The paperwork file show that this was a local boy. It sold new only
about an hour from our showroom, and it's even an actual mileage
car! But it's more than just history that has you attracted to this
one. When looking for a real-deal SS396, you're probably the kind
of person who makes sure the details are right. That's why this one
retains the correct grille (with blackouts that wraps around the
corners,) dual power bulge hood, SS396 marker lights, and blacked
out rear panel. You even have the proper SS striping package for
the year. Plus, the paint does a terrific job of letting this coupe
really stand out. It's a couple of shades deeper than the factory
Grotto Blue, so there's an extra hint of aggression. And the modern
clearcoat luster really highlights the crispness of all the body
panels.
Inside, these might have been the intermediate-sized car in the
'60s, but today that means plenty of room for family and friends to
spread across both rows of wide benches. It has a fresh feeling in
the carpeting and headliner. But you never lose that vintage
attitude, thanks to details, like the button-top pattern on the
seats. Of course, this hardtop is great for solo cruising, too. The
factory three-spoke steering wheel feels grippy in your hand and
has power steering. The added tach on the column goes great with
the Hurst shifter. So while this one has a nice upgraded
retro-style AM/FM stereo, we really know your favorite soundtrack
starts in the engine bay.
This SS396 has its numbers-matching 396 cubic-inch big block V8
still under the hood. We love the way this one looks with its Chevy
orange, bright valve covers, and racing flags air topper radiating
a powerful message from within the dark engine bay. The V8 inhales
deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and that allows the dual
exhaust to exhale with a rumbling authority. And you have complete
control over the power and its thunderous sound thanks to the
Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission.
This comes with all the right paperwork, including the original
warranty card, title documentation, reproduction window sticker,
owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance records. So it has
the numbers-matching pedigree and plenty of docs to really tell the
story. That makes for a true muscle car of distinction. Call
