1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible 4-Speed
Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 convertible underwent a refurbishment in 2018 and is powered by a 454ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Further equipment includes a Weiand intake manifold, aluminum cylinder heads, a limited-slip differential, and 15″ American Racing wheels that are mounted over unassisted drum brakes. It is finished in teal with a black soft top, and the cabin was reupholstered in gray cloth and outfitted with a center console, a Hurst shifter, a radio, a roller tachometer, a Deluxe steering wheel, and a heater. The car is said to have been purchased new at Mathis Chevrolet in Texas and remained registered to one family in the state until the selling dealer’s 2024 acquisition. This SS 396 is now offered by the selling dealer in Mississippi with a clean Texas title. The car is finished in teal and features a replacement black convertible soft top, a twin-dome hood, a black grille and taillight panel, hideaway windshield wipers, and chrome bumpers. American Racing Torq Thrust wheels feature black centers and polished lips, and they are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by unassisted drums. The front bucket and rear bench seats are upholstered in gray cloth with dark vinyl sides and backs, and a center console with a Hurst shifter is installed. Appointments include Chevelle-branded floor mats, a radio, and a cabin heater. The Deluxe steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a roller tachometer, an electric clock, and a combination gauge for amperage, oil pressure, temperature, and fuel level. Auxiliary readouts are mounted below the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles. The 454ci V8 was installed in 2018 and is equipped with a Weiand intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads. The dual exhaust system is fitted with Super Turbo mufflers. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle with a PosiTraction differential.
