This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 sport coupe was refurbished around 10 years ago and is powered by a replacement 396ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. It is finished in maroon with a black vinyl roof over black vinyl upholstery, and equipment includes 15″ Sport wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, power steering, a Pypes dual exhaust system, a twin-domed hood, a black grille, dual side mirrors, an aftermarket stereo, a Hurst shifter, and front bucket seats. This SS 396 was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023 and is now offered with a clean Illinois title.
Originally finished in Matador Red, the car was repainted maroon with black accents and a black vinyl roof under prior ownership. Other equipment includes a twin-domed hood, a black grille, dual side mirrors, hideaway windshield wipers, and chrome bumpers.
The 15″ wheels are mounted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires measuring 235/70. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The car is equipped with power steering.
The front bucket and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl, and interior appointments include an aftermarket stereo, a center console, a Hurst shifter, and a cabin heater.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a roller tachometer, an electric clock, and a combination gauge for amperage, oil pressure, temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.
Power is provided by a replacement 396ci V8 topped by a chrome air cleaner and valve covers.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. A Pypes dual exhaust system has been added.
