Vehicle Description
The attraction is not just that this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
is a real-deal Super Sport. As you look at the whole package, you
see a hardtop with an awesome color combo and a mean big block that
really delivers that attitude you want in a muscle car icon like
this.
For many, the '68 SS396 is the perfect balance of speed and
sophistication, and this one showcases all of that particularly
well. After all, the year-correct Matador Red is a great aggressive
color. And when the paint application is done so professionally on
the well creased sheetmetal, it radiates the kind of sleek shine
where the bumpers and trim needed an investment, too, just to keep
up with the luster. Those polished American Racing wheels are also
part of the terrific shine, and at the same time, the 18/20 inch
front/rear stagger gives this an awesome stance you want on a true
Super Sport. It goes with the aggressive factory SS pieces, like
the dual power bulge hood, proper SS396 badging, and large dual
exhaust tips. Plus, there's a terrific dark side. Not only do you
have the blackout grille and rear panel, but also the full-length
D96 black stripe package seems to unite them across the car. And
the premium black vinyl roof adds to both the darkness and
distinction.
The black interior is what we love to see on muscle machines, and
it looks particularly nice here as it coordinates with the exterior
accents. The whole presentation is clean, roomy, and quite correct.
Also, we all love bucket seats with a center console in these Super
Sports. And while the seats and carpeting look deep and dark, there
are some nice elements to brighten up the whole layout - including
the center console with horseshoe shifter and the classic Chevy
sports steering wheel. And the bright housing around the auxiliary
gauge trio makes it even easier to keep an eye on what's going on
in the engine bay.
When you open the hood, the glossy black fender walls and overall
tidy setup really let the bold big block in the middle radiate with
power. It's a proper 396 cubic-inch V8, but this one inhales better
thanks to a Holley four-barrel carburetor. It also exhales with
added power and authority from a set of long tube headers feeding
the dual exhaust. And while this is a mean street machine, there's
much more to the total package. The TH400 three-speed transmission
is stout enough to handle this power while also delivering
automatic cruising. Plus, power steering, power brakes, front
discs, a newer front sway bar, and grippy/modern ZR-rated tires
make this a fine all-around driver.
This is the real-deal SS396 that's impressive for both show and go.
