This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible is pretty rare, as it is believed that only 2,286 SS 396 convertibles were built in 1968. The black canvas convertible top with the Grecian Green paint job adds to its mystique. It's a cool car all the way around, whether the top is up or down. The stock-style chrome front and rear bumpers are in decent shape and pair well with the rally wheels and chrome beauty rings. The badges are all in the right places, the front grille looks good, and the cowl induction is one of the most famous features of these cars.
Simple and stock style black vinyl upholstery. The carpet is in good shape and protected by rubber Chevy floor mats. A Retro AM/FM radio has been installed to play through aftermarket speakers mounted in the kick panels. Three aftermarket gauges: Volts, Water Temp, and Oil Pressure are neatly mounted under the dashboard. Overall, this interior presents well for its age, with clean door jambs, door panels, and sills, and the trunk looks very clean.
Under the hood is where the real gem lies. A numbers-matching 396 is enough to make people very interested. The engine itself is painted Chevy Orange, topped with a 4-barrel Quadra-Jet carburetor, and finished with a chromed 396 air cleaner cover. It happens to be paired to a 2-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension features coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar, while the rear is equipped with trailing arms, coil springs, and shocks. Braking is handled by power front disc brakes upfront and drums in the rear. For the exhaust, stock-style manifolds feed into a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.
