Description of 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 for sale
This car was sold new by Don Steves Chevrolet dealership in La Habra southern California on 08-05-1968.Always has been a california car. I bought it a few years ago from the original owner.Only 96K miles on the working odometer.
It's a real SS 396 with the original motor. The car was originally a 4 speed manual, but the previous owner changed it to a TH400 3 speed automatic sometimes in the 80's. The car still has the clutch pedal, its pulled up against the fire wall.
This Chevelle is a proper muscle car with well thought out and executed period correct modifications from the era.

The body:Rust free, accident free. The color is dark gray metallic. It shines nice and looks great. There are some minor imperfections and small scratches.The floor are original and rust free, solid frame and clean trunk area. The car has always been garaged and rarely driven.All the trim and chrome is in nice condition with the right amount of patina.The Landau top is in perfect condition and it looks great.The rally wheels were color matched to the car and its from a Corvette, they're wider therefor fits wider tires and it just make it look so much better in my opinion.
The interior:Is nice and clean. Camaro bucket seats were installed by previous owner.The carpet is in nice condition, no stains or rips, excellent original door cards.Crack free dash, perfect headliner and back seat. Still has the original seat belts it came with. Front and rear seat belts are present.Original steering wheel shows some normal cracking for a car from the era.Professionally installed stereo system that sounds amazing, even with the rumbling big block.Kenwood Media head unit, USB and bluetooth equipped.

Rear package tray cover was replaced, the speakers are not visible.Center console mounted oil pressure and coolant temp gauges.
Mechanicals:The engine has been rebuilt by the previous owner with less then 1500 miles on it. This is what it was done.It has been bored 60 over, blueprinted and balanced.Speed pro L-2242NF 60 pistonsMild street/strip camsPolished intakeHolley double pumper carburetorHeaders, 3 1/2'' piping all the way back with dual magnaflow mufflers.I had the original heads removed and replaced them with Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads.
