1968 Chevelle SS Convertible (SOLD) at Coyote Classics

That's right, this is the real deal! This here is an incredibly nice example of a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible, complete with a massive big-block 396 V8, a horseshoe shifter, and a stunningly eye-catching paintjob. What isn't there to love? In 1968, the Chevrolet Chevelle received an all-new sculpted body with enhanced, flowing bodylines with tapered front fenders and a rounded beltline. The Super Sport option (of which this car is an example) became an option all of its own, and 2,200 SS convertibles were produced in the '68 model year. Powered by a big-block 396 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, let's just say that this SS Chevelle can get out of its own way pretty quickly. Power from that big 396 is transferred to the 12-bolt "PosiTraction" rear axle through a 3-speed automatic transmission shifted by a characteristic "Horseshoe" shifter, a hallmark of Chevelles from this era! The "Teal Blue" metallic paint is absolutely beautiful, having been lovingly buffed out to gleam in the sun. The black interior vinyl trim is in excellent shape, paired with bucket seats that are very comfortable and the added convenience of a center console. An updated AM/FM radio with a vintage look sits in the dashboard, ready to crank out your favorite tunes. Options fitted to this wonderful '68 Chevrolet include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, a heater + defroster, factory gauges, vent windows, seatbelts, ac convertible top, a vintage-style AM/FM radio, and a mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on a classy set of vintage Chevrolet rally wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a period-correct muscle car appearance. This is an incredibly nice SS Chevelle that you don't see too many of, especially in this condition. Rest assured, this '68 Chevelle makes for a wonderful cruiser and is sure to turn heads anywhere you go.

Phew ! God, I'd be putting bubble wrap around that car. Could you imagine getting behind some filthy dump truck on the highway ? Would have to blow by that in a hurry !! One of the nicest Chevelle's made.
Beautiful.
