For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle in Sherman, Texas

Vehicle Description

There are muscle cars, and then there are moments in American history cast in steel. The 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle sits squarely in that second category. With its tunneled rear window, coke bottle hips, and menacing stance, the 1968 redesign marked a turning point for Chevrolet's A body platform. It was the year the Chevelle grew fangs, setting the stage for the SS396 legend and earning its place as one of the most feared street machines of the era.

Under the hood lives a rebuilt 396 cubic inch big block V8 topped with an Edelbrock 540 horsepower top end kit, aluminum heads, and an Edelbrock aluminum intake. A Holley Sniper EFI system brings modern precision to classic big block thunder, while stainless steel long tube headers and a full stainless dual exhaust system let it breathe like a proper street brawler. Power is routed through a 4 speed manual, putting full control of that torque rich punch exactly where it belongs, in your right hand.

This Chevelle has undergone a mechanical frame off restoration with the work handled by Pro Touring Texas, and it shows in every detail. The boxed, braced, and powdercoated frame provides a rock solid foundation. A full SpeedTech suspension system with tubular control arms, adjustable coilovers, and a quick ratio steering box transforms the way this A body handles. Wilwood four wheel disc brakes bring modern stopping authority, while an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps temperatures in check when the pressure is on.

Finished in black over a black vinyl bench seat interior, this coupe keeps the attitude pure and purposeful. A floor shifter rises from the tunnel just like it should, and the dash now houses Dakota Digital HDX gauges for crisp, modern readouts. An American Autowire Classic Update wiring harness ensures reliability, while a Custom Autosound radio blends vintage style with updated sound. Dakota Digital LED taillights add a subtle contemporary touch out back.

The result is an excellent driving restomod that captures the raw charisma of a 1968 Chevelle and backs it up with serious modern hardware. It has the look of a street fighter, the heart of a big block bruiser, and the road manners to run with today's performance machines. This is not just a muscle car. It is a fully sorted, blacked out statement piece built to be driven hard and admired long.
