1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
Why This Car Is Special
The 1968 Chevelle we have here at Skyway Classics is a real deal SS
396 car. This 1968 Chevelle is a true 138 VIN Chevelle SS 396 model
that was produced at GM's Baltimore, Maryland facility.
A color change to blue was performed during previous ownership, and
the car is equipped with a replacement 396ci V8 linked to a
three-speed automatic transmission.
Mechanical
Our Chevelle came with a 350-horsepower 396 cubic inch engine but
now features a replacement 396 cubic inch that is paired with a
three-speed automatic transmission.
The engine now has an aluminum intake manifold, finned aluminum
Holley valve covers, chrome open air cleaner assembly, chromed
alternator, power steering, and power brakes, and an aluminum
Champion radiator.
Interior
The interior is also finished in its original special code 766
Black with Vinyl Bucket seats accompanied by a color-keyed
dashboard, door panels, and carpeting.
An SS steering wheel has been installed, and further additions
include a billet steering column, a retro-sound stereo housed
within the stock radio opening and linked to a pair of aftermarket
rear speakers, and the iconic "Horsehoe" shifter in the middle
console.
Exterior
Decoding the data tag reveals this Chevelle was produced at
Baltimore, MD assembly during the 3rd week of March 1968. It was
originally finished in code "C" Ermine White with a Black vinyl top
and currently is painted a pleasing shade of blue.
Additional modifications include upgraded headlight bulbs to a
higher output, L.E.D. side markers and taillights, thicker sway
bars, upgraded bushings, and American Racing torque thrust style
mag wheels which measure 15? and are equipped with a
staggered-width set of BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires in sizes 215/65
up front and 235/60 at the rear.
Suspension updates are said to include thicker-diameter sway bars
and upgraded bushings, while four-wheel disc brakes are utilized at
all four corners.
