This is one of the most interesting 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 coupes you're going lay eyes on. After all, most of these valuable classics have been restored to reflect their street-eating personality. But this hardtop has a survivor-like quality you see in all the details - from the original big block to the A/C interior. Someone did a terrific job ordering this car. The factory-correct Ermine White paint is the perfect canvas for this setup, and it was... even re-sprayed later in life for an added clearcoat shine. It's the ideal background for all the dark elements like the blacked-out grille (with proper extensions), blacked-out tail, and the optional D96 stripe package that highlights the pointed front end before running the full length of the body. Plus, the factory-correct black vinyl roof and SS wheel covers give this a true '60s vibe missing on a lot of other Chevelles out there. But even with its time capsule like appearance, this still also knows how to be a Super Sport. After all, with the twin bulges in the hood, full SS396 badging, and the legendary fastback profile, the appeal of this car is as clear as black and white. Inside the color theme continues. The white door panels, headliner, and button-top bucket seats appear to be original. They are joined by dark center console, carpeting, and the dash for more of that great black and white appeal. This is a highly authentic presentation, and so you get the factory steering wheel, correct gauges, and iconic horseshoe shifter coming out of the center console. Even the AM radio is still cranking out tunes! And no matter if you are riding solo or sharing this classic with family and friends, the cold-blowing factory air conditioning will always be appreciated. With a coupe that's been so authentic thus far, it's great to lift the hood and see the numbers-matching 396 cubic-inch V8. And on a car like this, you'll love the true look of originality throughout the whole engine bay. More than just authentic, you'll love this because the V8 inhales deeply through a Rochester four-barrel carburetor and it exhales with big block authority from the dual exhaust. And because you're going to want to show off this survivor-grade SS everywhere, this has easy driving features like power steering, power brakes, and a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Complete with owner's manual, you just don't see Super Sports with this much authenticity anymore. So if you're a lover of distinct and powerful cars, don't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
