Vehicle Description
1968 CHEVY CHEVELLE SS 396 If you are looking for the best of the
best this 1968 Chevelle SS is it. A real Chevelle SS, L-78 matching
numbers, 396/375 HP. This collectible has been recently restored,
with under 50 miles since restoration, including new paint in the
original Butternut yellow finish over the Black imitation leather
interior. The 92,000 original miles on this classic can be
validated by the listing on the current title. A quick check of the
Vin number shows that this Chevelle has always been destined to be
a SS396, two-door sport coupe. The Vin number decodes as follows: 1
= Chevrolet 38 = SS396 37 = Sport Coupe 8 = 1968 A = Atlanta 111160
= Production Sequence Number The original 396 Big Block has been
gone through with meticulous detail. Although listed at 375 HP the
reviews of the day rated it at 425hp like the 1965 L-78 Corvette
with the same specs. The performance on this vehicle will validate
the reviews of the day. The motor is the original born with this
Chevelle confirmed by the vin stamp on the engine pad. Also stamped
on the engine you will find the stamp T0927EG. Identifying the
engine as: T = Tonawanda 09 = September 27 = 27th day of the month
EG = 375HP special high performance, 4 speed manual The four speed
transmission casting numbers 3295660 demonstrates that it was built
for this 1968 Chevelle SS396. Combine that with the 12 bolt
differential and this car is set up just the same as it left the
factory. In 1968 the Chevrolet Chevelle received an all new design
with a distinctly sculpted body with tapered front fenders, a long
hood with a short deck profile and a high rear-quarter kick-up.
