1968 Chevrolet Chevelle

For 1968, the Chevelle got an all-new distinctly sculpted body with tapered front fenders and a rounded beltline. The car adopted a long-hood/short-deck profile with a high rear-quarter "kick-up" and hardtop coupes featured a semi-fastback, flowing roofline. The '68's also rode a new sportier 112-inch wheelbase and tire tread width grew an inch front and rear. Top-trim models (including the SS 396 and new luxury Concours) featured GM's new Hide-A-Way wiper system and the Super Sport became a series on its own. Additionally, manual transmission cars got GM's "Air Injection Reactor" (A.I.R.) smog pump.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this '68 Chevelle SS 396. The car originally sold new in Cleveland, Ohio. It is a 138 code true SS 396 Chevelle. It was painted in 2013 in Matador Red with black racing stripes and shows very well. The Chevelle has a factory 4 speed Muncie M21 “Rock Crusher” on the floor with a Hurst shifter, with a 12 bolt/308 posi traction rear end. The 396 is period correct and was rebuilt in 1979 and has 2200 hours on it since rebuild. The transmission was rebuilt and given a new heavy duty clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing and the flywheel was re-surfaced in 2016 and has under 100 miles on it. The Chevelle also has a Bulletproof Bell housing, ladder bars, front power disc brakes, chrome pulleys, chrome water pump, chrome alternator, power brakes, power steering, MSD 6A ignition and MSD wires, Edelbrock Air Gap intake, Holley 4 barrell carburetor, headers, dual exhaust, after market tach/oil pressure/temperature/amperage gauges, spare tire, car cover. The car rides on Ridler wheels. This Chevelle made an appearance in the January 2011 edition of Popular Hot Rodding.

The Chevelle received a new radiator support, front fenders, door skins, rear quarters, trunk floor, rear wheel wells, rockers, windshield patch panels. The work was done very well and everything lines up properly and closes tight and snug with no out of line body lines.
