This is a true SS396 Chevelle, factory-built with a 396/325hp big block and Turbo 400 automatic — now tastefully upgraded for modern street performance. Finished in a period-correct GM blue over white vinyl buckets, it blends muscle car heritage with reliable drivability. This Chevelle is the real deal — a documented SS396 with the right VIN, the right block, and the right upgrades. It’s not a trailer queen, but a street-tuned big block bruiser with modern reliability and timeless style. Included with the sale from the previous owner is a binder documenting the comprehensive restoration this vehicle underwent.
