1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible Tribute

Description

This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 tribute convertible is an absolute icon of the American road, giving you the ultimate wind-in-your-hair experience. It only improves on a car with glossy red paint, bucket seat interior, Super Sport flair, and a growling big block under the hood.

The red paint is an upgrade later in life, giving the right kind of gloss and shine you want on a sun-friendly convertible. And the good gaps, flush-fitting doors, and bright chrome bumpers make for an all-around attractive car. But the whole point of a good SS tribute car is to be a solid driver. So nothing in the presentation is about giving you something that makes you nervous to drive it. Instead, you want to spend every summer evening pulling up to stoplights and making everyone else jealous with your big block rumble. And it looks powerful in the details. You have classic pieces like the blackout grille, correct badges, and dual power dome in the hood. And the wheels bring the full package together. They are classic-style American Racing Torq Thrust units, but the modern 18-inch size means you get to fit better modern tires.

Beneath the black convertible roof is a nice black interior. It's a detailed vintage package, right down to the button-top seatbacks and the Delco AM radio on display. But while this is dark and attractive, the overall aim is to be a car you can hop into and drive on a whim. So it has an easy-going style and plenty of driver-ready features. Front bucket seats, a center console with a horseshoe shifter, and a terrific classic-style wood-rimmed sports steering wheel grip.

When your Super Sport tribute represents the best of the muscle car era, having a big block under the hood is essential. Chevy's mighty 396 cubic-inch looks good with some added polish. It has been enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Holley intake, and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It's a strong river with a stout setup with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission feeding a 12-bolt rear end. And with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a modern set of sport tires, it all makes for an icon that's ready for the road.

This bright and powerful car makes for a fun V8 cruiser. It's the one you want when your ideal classic is about driving everywhere and letting them all see the big smile on your face along the way. Call now!
