You don't see too many true 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 muscle
cars offered at a good price, but here's your chance. Finished in
eye-catching Matador Red, this Chevy steals the show with classic
15-inch rally wheels, a black lower stripe, a great stance, and
shiny chrome bumpers front and rear. The subtle cowl hood adds the
right touch of muscle, while the brightwork remains in good
condition throughout. The exhaust tips are perfectly set and extend
just enough to complete the look. All of the lights and lenses are
clean and clear, and every emblem is present and properly placed.
Overall, this is a sharp, good-looking true SS396 that delivers the
classic muscle car presence people want.
Inside, the cream, white, and black interior contrasts nicely with
the red exterior. The door panels, seats, and carpets are all in
decent shape with some light wear that fits the car's character. An
aftermarket steering wheel with an SS center connects to the
column, where a tachometer has been mounted for easy viewing. The
stock gauge cluster shows a little fogginess, and an aftermarket
oil pressure gauge sits under the dash. A Hurst floor shifter falls
right to hand, while the factory climate control panel sits above
an aftermarket AM/FM cassette radio with a Chevy emblem. Out back,
the trunk is carpeted and includes a spare tire and a fire
extinguisher.
Under the hood, things are clean and well-organized. Power comes
from a big-block 396 cubic-inch V8 equipped with an Edelbrock
intake, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and a thumping aftermarket
camshaft (specs not available), along with other supporting
upgrades. That power is backed by a Muncie 4-speed manual
transmission and sent to a durable 12-bolt rear axle. The
suspension features a factory-style setup with Hotchkiss solid
upper and lower control arms, coilovers, and a sway bar up front,
while the rear retains a factory-style layout with coilovers and
frame braces. It rides on 15-inch rally wheels with beauty rings
wrapped in 235/60R15 Cooper Cobra tires. Stopping power comes from
manual drum brakes, front and rear. Headman long tube headers, dual
exhaust, and Street Flow mufflers provide the deep muscle car
rumble.
