This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 has been refurbished in Carolina Blue over black vinyl and is powered by a 396ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a black vinyl top, power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, air conditioning, bucket seats, SS wheels, a four-barrel carburetor, a dual exhaust system, and more. This Chevelle was acquired by the seller a year ago and is now offered in California with a window sticker, Protect-O-Plate, National Corvette Restorers Society documentation, North Carolina registrations from 1969, other records, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s company.
The seller states that a recent body-off refurbishment included a repaint in Carolina Blue, which was reportedly a period special-order color in North Carolina. Additional exterior features include a black vinyl roof, replaced trim, a twin-dome hood, and bumper guards as well as black paint on the lower quarter panels, rockers, and fenders.
Replacement 15″ SS wheels are mounted with Firestone Wide Oval bias-ply tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and factory front disc brakes, which include four-piston calipers. Heavy-duty suspension components have reportedly been added along with new old-stock shock absorbers.
The black cabin has been refurbished with components sourced from Legendary Auto Interiors and features bucket seats, a full-length console with a horseshoe shifter, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, and a factory-style AM/FM radio. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 42k miles, and state inspection receipts with mileage notations are shown in the gallery.
The 396ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt and has been modified with a PerTronix electronic ignition setup and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system, while the carburetor has been overhauled and the radiator has been replaced. Engine stamps, casting numbers, and the cowl tag are provided in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and a 12-bolt axle with 3.31:1 gears, both of which the seller states have been rebuilt. Stainless fuel, brake, and transmission lines have also been installed.
A window sticker, owner’s booklets, Protect-O-Plate, National Corvette Restorers Society documentation, and other records are included in the sale. Walk-around and engine start-up videos are shown below.
