1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute

Description

Premium, vintage, upgraded, and absolutely powerful... this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS tribute makes all the right first impressions. It's a serious muscle machine with a fuel-injected big block, race-ready components, and a beefed-up suspension. But more than just pure power, features like cold-blowing air conditioning and an overdrive transmission make this a solid cruiser, too.

The bright pearl white is a timelessly appealing color, and that's especially true when you invest in a quality application. The deep gloss has a pristine glow that loves to show off the fastback profile. Adding to the shine is the excellent brightwork you see everywhere from the wraparound chrome bumpers to the trim. But what's most impressive about this sharp-looking classic is the way they added a touch of modern with the well-coordinated gunmetal gray. It starts with the racing stripes that are painted on the hood and trunk in the classic style. This dark metallic gray has been cleared over with the rest of the paint so that the light loves to roll evenly across the smooth body. And a proper '68 Chevelle sports coupe also has the lower rocker paint, and in this case, they match the stripes. Plus, the American Racing wheels even coordinate with this accent gray. It all really helps show off how thoughtful they were when restoring this hardtop.

The interior is a clean and stylish setup that's a solid mix of performance and comfort. The doors, headliner, carpeting, and dash all have a dark and quality appearance. This has the right upgrades for added comfort, like power front windows, an AM/FM stereo, deeply tinted windows, and cold-blowing air conditioning. That makes for a nice coupe for people to hop in and have a good time. But really, you can already see that this one was built for the driver to have the most fun. You have a pair of modern racing bucket seats up front. They are high back units that keep you planted better during spirited driving. There's also an upgraded sports steering wheel on a tilt column, a B&M shifter, and a full array of upgraded gauges, including a column-mounted tach. And the Sniper EFI controller mounted under the dash is a big reminder that you're going to love what's under the hood.

The engine bay has a thoughtful style with clean inner walls, billet hood hinges, and an overall tidy style. It's a great way to showcase the monster powerhouse in the middle. This is a 454 cubic-inch big block that's built right with details like an aluminum Intake, Hooker long tube headers, and impressively straight pipes on the dual exhaust. But what you'll love the best is that the motor is topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system that's terrific for power and consistency. There are nice supporting components, too, like the CVR vacuum pump and large aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The TCI 700R4 street fighter four-speed automatic transmission is the ideal pairing because it has a stout construction for performance driving, and it also shifts smoothly into overdrive. Plus, there's power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and a beefed-up rear suspension.

Complete with build receipts, this is a custom coupe that has quality look and aggressive style you love. And when a powerful icon like this was also built to be a great all-around cruiser, you know this is an irresistible dream car you need in your driveway. Call today!!!
