1968 Chevrolet
Chevelle
SS 396
You are viewing for sale a premier Resto Mod of an original and still numbers matching SS 396 Chevelle.A private owner professionally completed the car in 2015 and has only logged 1,930 miles on it, attending local car shows and cruising events.
This Chevelle was built in the Kansas City, MO plant and spent its initial time in Colorado.In 2012 current owner purchased the complete car and started the project.
Every item on the car was either replaced with new, custom made, or NOS parts (see specifics below).Nothing was left untouched.
The paint is a 2-stage urethane Copperhead Pearl and there are no flaws, chips, dents, scratches, or runs.It is truly a color that enhances the body lines of this 68 SS.All the sheet metal (floor pans, trunk pans, doors, roof, hood and trunk) on this car is original except for the right front fender, which was replaced with an NOS item, and the lower section of the left rear quarter, which had a new panel welded in place.
Owner is selling to reduce his collection.
NO TRADES OR FINANCING

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period.Approximately 7 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage.These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
