super sport red black vinyl interior big block bbc chevy chrome vintage classic

A 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle that's a real-deal SS396 and still has its original big block V8 under the hood is a wonderful thing. So this is the complete hardtop with the exact pedigree you want. With a hint of front overhang and crisp rear panels that reached out on both sides, the '68 Chevelle really wanted to own the road. So we already love the unique design even before acknowledging the supremacy of a Super Sport. When... looking for a real-deal SS396, you're probably the kind of person who makes sure the details are right. That's why this one retains the correct grille (with blackouts that wraps around the corners,) dual power bulge hood, proper SS396 marker lights, full badging, and blacked out rear panel. Freshly applied, the red paint scheme with black really makes this car stand out. And the paint code will tell you this is an original black vinyl roof car, which incidentally was just replaced so that is one less item for you to take care of. So it's nice to see it still has that distinction today. All the black exterior accents are a nice coordinating piece for the full black interior. These might have been intermediate-sized cars in the '60s, but today that means plenty of room for family and friends to spread across both rows of wide benches. Of course, this hardtop is great for solo cruising, too. The fold-down armrest gives you an individual level of comfort, and the factory three-spoke steering wheel has a flat-top design to give you a clear view of the gauges. This SS396 has its numbers-matching 396 cubic-inch big block V8 still under the hood. We love the way this one looks with its Chevy orange, bright valve covers, and racing flags air topper radiating a powerful message from within the dark engine bay. The V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and that allows the dual exhaust to exhale with a rumbling authority. But more than just pure power, you're going to spot plenty of the right investments, including newer hoses, lines, and alternator. Plus, with power steering and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, this powerful classic is also an easy cruiser. The aftermarket wheels and tires give this that 60s muscle car era sort of look you know you had in mind when beginning your search. Numbers-matching motors make for the upper echelon in the muscle car world, so you already know how special this SS396 is. Don't let it slip away, call today!
