Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 2-Door Sport Coupe - 396 V8 with
Automatic - Ash Gold with Black Vinyl Roof - Medium Gold Interior -
Southern Car The Chevelle SS is synonymous with the muscle car era
thanks to its good looks, and 8 cylinder power plant found beneath
the hood. This particular example is sporting the familiar
coke-bottle body lines, body finished in a color unique to cars of
the late '60's or early '70's, and rallye wheels, which all add up
to a sweet classic muscle car. Classic Chevelle lines are covered
in Ash Gold paint. The car has been repainted once with the repaint
having been done in a hue that has just a little bit more green
than the factory color. The paint shows well throughout, apart from
some debris in the paint in a few areas. However, the paint is
glossy throughout, and evenly applied. A factory correct black
vinyl top is a replacement item, but has been applied correctly and
shows no sign of bubbles or lumps. Trim throughout the car shows
well with even shine on the chrome trim pieces. Rallye wheels that
have chrome center caps and beauty rings are wrapped in white
letter BF Goodrich tires. The interior is currently finished in a
hue close to the factory original color of Medium Gold. It looks to
us like there is a bit more of a green tint to the current interior
surfaces compared to Medium Gold. The car would have rolled off the
production line with a vinyl bench seat, and as you can see in the
pictures, the car now has bucket seats and a console. The center
console houses auxiliary gauges, and a B&M shifter. There is a
small amount of overspray on the dashboard trim near the glovebox,
which shows that the dashboard and glove box area has been
repainted in the hue which is slightly more green than the factory
Medium Gold. The interior is complete with speedometer, clock, lap
and shoulder belts, and three spoke steering wheel. An aftermarket
stereo and speakers have been added to the car. Under the hood is a
ET coded 396ci V8 mated to an automatic transmission. Since it is
an ET coded engine, it is considered an L34 and would've left the
factory with a power rating of 350 horsepower. The engine bay is
tidy, and features a orange painted block, chrome valve covers, 4
bbl carburetor, chrome air cleaner, and a partial a/c system. You
can't miss the good looks of this Chevelle, or the unique paint
color. Ash Gold with a black vinyl top and Rallye wheels wrapped in
white letter tires are hard to miss. This car has the good looks
and the power to back them up thanks to the 396 V8 under the hood.
A classic muscle car like this Chevelle is always a great addition
to any collection. Please call if interested or e-mail with
