This authentic 1968 Chevelle SS with a real 138 VIN code is a fully custom-built Pro Touring masterpiece. With no expense spared, this vehicle features a host of bespoke components and high-performance upgrades.
The Car: The Chevelle has been meticulously rebuilt from the ground up. The base car was completely stripped to its bare metal and is an original SS model (VIN code 138), not a clone. The body, floors, and chassis are rust-free and in original condition. The car boasts a new heavy-duty 12-bolt rear axle with fresh internals, axles, bearings, and a differential with 3.73 gears. It features an advanced Speed Tech Performance suspension system, including tubular front A-arms and a rear ladder bar setup with dual adjustable QA1 shocks.
The underside of the car was blasted to bare metal and painted in a factory-style satin black, ensuring a pristine appearance. The braking system includes four-wheel slotted and vented disc brakes by Wilwood, along with new brake lines, a master cylinder, and wheel bearings. The fuel system is entirely new, featuring a custom stainless steel tank. The exterior was painted in a two-stage original GM red metallic color and polished to a high gloss. A new vinyl top and all-new trim, bumpers, chrome pieces, headlight bezels, and emblems were installed, resulting in a stunning appearance.
The Engine: Under the hood, you'll find a stroked Gen V 454ci engine upgraded to 496ci with all-new internals, including Patriot performance aluminum heads, custom-coated headers, a performance camshaft, a high-flow oil pump, and forged pistons. This engine produces an impressive 620 HP, supported by a dyno sheet. It has approximately 1,500 test miles, ensuring any initial issues have been resolved. The engine bay features custom details like billet valve covers, a serpentine belt system, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, and a custom-made exhaust system. The transmission is a new Pro-built Turbo Hydramatic 400 with a billet 3500rpm high stall converter and shift kit, delivering power through a new balanced performance driveshaft.
The Interior: The interior has been completely redesigned and upgraded. The cabin is lined with heat and sound insulation, and the floors are painted. New Corbeau bucket seats, upholstered in black leather with suede inserts, match a reupholstered back seat. The interior also features new carpet, headliner, door panels, emblems, and a custom floor console. The dash was rebuilt with new components from Detroit Digital, and a custom Billet Specialties steering wheel was installed on a new tilt steering column. A complete custom wiring system was installed, and a new Vintage Air HVAC system ensures comfort. An Alpine stereo system with subwoofers is installed in the trunk, which matches the interior’s color scheme and details. The classic-looking radio features modern MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity.
Exterior Enhancements: The Chevelle is equipped with a steel cowl induction hood and new hinges. The exterior trim is coated in satin black, and custom Billet Specialties wheels, 20 inches in the rear and 18 inches in the front, are shod with Falken Azenis tires (285/35 in the rear and 255/30 in the front) for optimal performance and appearance.
Overall: This Pro Touring Chevelle is a one-of-a-kind build, featuring top-tier components and a significant investment in both parts and labor, estimated around $200,000. The car is ready to hit the showroom floor, fully serviced, inspected, and turn-key. With its combination of modern performance and classic muscle car aesthetics, this 1968 Chevelle SS is truly exceptional.
