1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute

This 1968 Chevelle Malibu hardtop is very impressive. It was a 136…. code from the factory, but has benefited from an outstanding frame-off restoration (2012) that honors the legendary Chevelle SS396. The exterior received a professional two-stage Silver respray that is accented with the SS396 hood/stripes, SS396 grille/rear fascia/logos and excellent chrome/stainless. The stance is pure muscle car on 15”x8” SS rally wheels and new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. It's black vinyl interior has been carefully restored and features bucket seats, 3-spoke GM 'wood' wheel, JVC AM/FM/CD sound system, Hurst Comp+ shifter, tinted glass, an after-market gauge cluster and Sunpro Super tach.
Under the hood sits a 396ci big-block that was built and balanced by MEM Race Engines, Midland NC. (The owner has provided receipts dated 04/22 for work done.) The Rat is equipped with aluminum rectangular-port heads, an Edelbrock Air-Gap intake, 750 Holley dual-feed carb, MSD ignition and hydraulic roller cam. A Milodon high capacity oil pan has been installed along with a Cold Case aluminum radiator w/dual fans. Tube headers route exhaust to a free-flowing system. A dyno sheet is included that indicates 507hp/474lb-ft and this Chevelle sounds magnificent. Torque is transferred to a 4-speed manual gearbox via an 11” M-Pact high-performance ceramic clutch and a 12-bolt posi-traction differential is fitted with 3.42:1 gears. The chassis is equipped with power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes w/dual master and front sway bar. The suspension has been completely refurbished with all new components including coil springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, bushing and shocks. This Chevelle SS396 'Tribute' was built to drive and enjoy.
