For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle in Marietta, Georgia

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle - SS-Style Restomod • 496ci Stroker • 5-Speed • Vintage Air • Documented Build

If you love the timeless lines of a '68 Chevelle but want modern power, manners, and reliability, this SS-style hardtop checks every box. Finished in a striking metallic blue with a black vinyl roof and sitting over period-correct steelies and dog-dish caps, it looks every bit the classic street brawler. Open the hood and you'll find a fresh, BluePrint Engines 496ci big-block with dyno paperwork, MSD ignition, Holley carburation, aluminum cooling, and long-tube headers feeding a stainless dual exhaust with an X-pipe. A Silver Sport-supplied Tremec 5-speed sends power rearward, and the cabin is upgraded with Vintage Air A/C, a Kenwood head unit, and bucket seats with a factory console. The build is supported by a binder of invoices, warranty sheets, and the engine dyno sheet (peak ~651 hp / ~607 lb-ft shown).

Exterior
Deep metallic blue paint with great gloss and uniform panel alignment; SS hood callouts and SS 396 grille and fender badging complete the SS look.

Black vinyl top presents cleanly and fits tight to the roofline-classic '60s contrast that sets off the color.

Brightwork, emblems, and glass show very well; bumpers and grille are straight and shine nicely.

Steel wheels with smooth "poverty" caps deliver that sleeper vibe; wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S performance radials for modern grip.

Trunk compartment is finished in proper spatter paint with a full-size spare and jack components.

Interior
Black bucket-seat interior with factory-style console and Hurst white cue-ball shifter-simple, clean, and driver-focused.

Dash features stock-style dual pods with upgraded readouts, clear lenses, and crisp backlighting.

Vintage Air integrated control panel and dash vents provide reliable, cold A/C and effective heat/defrost.

Kenwood audio head unit with modern functionality tucked cleanly beneath the HVAC panel.

Door panels, headliner, seat upholstery, and carpets present very nicely, with tidy pedal box and sill trim.

Powertrain & Cooling
BluePrint Engines 496ci Stroker Big-Block Chevy (new crate assembly)

Aluminum intake manifold with Holley 4-barrel carburetor (polished bowls and fittings).

MSD Digital 6AL ignition box and wiring for strong spark and easy tuning.

Polished BluePrint valve covers; braided lines and quality AN fittings throughout.

Dyno sheet included showing approx. 650.9 hp peak power and ~607 lb-ft of torque (SAE J-607 corrected).

Heavy-duty aluminum radiator and Derale shroud/dual-fan setup keep temps controlled in traffic and heat.

Long-tube headers feeding a stainless dual-exhaust with X-pipe-deep, authoritative big-block tone without drone.

Transmission, Driveline & Chassis
Tremec 5-speed (TKO/TKX) conversion sourced from Silver Sport Transmissions with supporting invoices; ideal ratios for both in-town punch and highway cruising.

Smooth, positive clutch engagement; firm, precise shifter throws with the white Hurst knob.

Power brake system with front discs and rear drums-confident, straight stops.

Undercarriage shows clean floors, solid rails, tidy brake/fuel routing, and the stainless exhaust system.

Suspension retains the classic Chevelle stance with updated shocks/springs for a planted, confident ride.

Documentation & Spares
Comprehensive paperwork: BluePrint Engines warranty documents & break-in/oil recommendations, engine installation booklet, dyno sheet, parts invoices, and Silver Sport Transmissions sales orders.

Assorted service receipts (including transmission fluid service and A/C system work), plus general build notes.

Cowl tag photo and various identification decals retained.

Driving Impressions
Turn the key and the 496 lights quickly, idling with a healthy cam note through the X-pipe system. Throttle response is immediate-big torque down low with a rush to redline that belies the car's size. The 5-speed transforms the experience: short gearing for blistering launches, then relaxed cruising in overdrive. Steering tracks true, the brakes are confidence-inspiring, and the Vintage Air keeps the cabin cool on hot days-exactly what you want from a well-executed restomod.
