                                                                                                             1968 Chevelle SS 396/ 350HP    L-34 ,  Show Car!

 

 

 

Ready to Show or cruise, is my rare 1968 Chevelle SS 396/ 350HP    L-34 , with factory  Muncie 4 speed manual transmission,

along with rare original gauge package containing  the 5,500 redline in-dash tachometer.

 

Over the years, I've owned several different types of classic muscle cars, and this particular 1968  Chevelle SS is by far my favorite!  If you are looking for an amazing, beautiful, attention getting  classic muscle car with plenty of overall performance, handling, comfort, and history...  then this is the car for you!

 

Unlike a lot of older  classic vehicles (missing documentation),  my 1968 Chevelle SS comes with its rare  original Dealer packet that contains the original Owner Protection Plan and New Vehicle Warranty( Protect-o-plate contained  inside), original owner's manual, service records, and the original owner's various maintenance receipts collected over the years ( can be seen  in auction pics).

 The Protect-o-plate contains vital information (such as vehicle VIN;  type of engine; transmission; rear end; exterior paint color; and other factory installed options ). The Protect-o-plate

 along with the cowl data tag, and VIN on dash of my chevelle all coincide and validate the authenticity of my 138 REAL DEAL 1968 Chevelle SS 396/350HP  L-34 , Muncie 4 speed  car.

This  Chevelle  is also an original bucket seat , factory 4 speed, center console car .

 

HISTORY:

On November 21, 1967

this 1968 Chevelle SS  was purchased brand new at Morris Chevrolet in New Castle, Indiana

and has had only 3 owners to date (me being the third owner).

A stack of original owner’s maintenance  receipts comes with the sale of my Chevelle along with the

original Dealer packet that contains the original Owner Protection Plan and New Vehicle Warranty( Protect-o-plate contained  inside), original owner's manual, service records.  

  

Approximately 2 years ago,

my  Chevelle   was completely disassembled  and then  fully restored .

(Prior to restoration, my Chevelle was solid from top to bottom. Solid frame and all original solid body panels.  Even more impressive, is that  the roof  had  no rust issues usually caused by vinyl tops trapping moisture ).

A meticulous  show quality paint job was applied  ( performed by a very reputable local Custom body/paint  shop)   keeping with its  correct factory original exterior color ( cowl tag code: P2) Seafrost green with black vinyl top .

The entire  interior was  restored to immaculate condition (keeping its factory original black vinyl interior), 

  All factory gauges work properly including the in-dash  tachometer.

  Headlights (high and low beams), tail lights, turn signals,brake lights, side marker lights, reverse backup lights, instrument/gauges lights, glove box light, center console light all WORK properly!

Heater/blower motor/climate controls work GREAT!

 

It’s  396 powerplant  rated at 350 Horsepower runs  perfectly as well as its  

 Muncie M-21 4 speed manual, close ratio transmission shifts smooth  and accurate through all gears (even the correct GL 4 manual  transmission  gear lube was used  when changing fluid).

 12 bolt positraction  rear end  with the 3.55 gear ratio (all internal gears and components  in excellent condition).

 

This Chevelle runs GREAT! Starts right up even in cold temperatures. Does not leak, smoke, or burn oil . Engine runs super cool (average running engine temperature stays around 180 degrees F )

 Also, my Chevelle has factory power steering ( original power steering  pump with separate original reservoir  mounted to the driver side fender), along with factory power brakes.

 

Just to re emphasize ….This Chevelle starts, runs, shifts, stops and drives EXCELLENT!!!!

 

Another rare feature with my Chevelle is it's interior code 766 (as shown on cowl tag/see pic). I have yet to find  another 68 Chevelle SS produced out of the Atlanta plant with a 766 interior code. 

Furthermore, the trunk is nicely detailed with correct mat, spare tire, and bumper jack assembly.

 

I have a Clean and Clear Indiana title.

 

If you have any questions, then  I strongly  encourage you  to ask  questions.  I will  do my best to answer all questions in an expedient manner . 

 Also,  I am more than happy to let you come to my residence and  inspect my Chevelle in person (if you are a serious bidder/buyer looking to purchase a superb classic muscle car ).

  

Please…serious bidders only. Absolutely  NO  bidders with 0 feedback  ( I will cancel your bid).

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
