1968 Chevelle- Doesn't run
Wondering where to find a good estimate how much our 1968 Chevelle (350, small block, automatic) is worth. Been sitting for at least 10 years and no longer runs and has a somewhat rusted body.

The Chevelle was completely redesigned for the 1968. It received a sleek new look, including a wrap-over front fascia, fastback styling, and smaller rear windows. Two wheelbases were available: 112 inches for the sportier coupes and convertibles, and 116 inches for the sedans and wagons.
The base engine for the SS was a 396-ci V8 rated at 325 horsepower, and the high-end was the L78 396-ci V8 rated at 375 horsepower.
About 57,600 of the SS's were produced for 1968.

The car was a blast to own but expensive to keep fuel in and tires on, but where ever you went with it people just flocked around it, and yes it has chewed up quite a few tuner cars.
It was fun while i had it and it was also pretty cool to see that it wound up on the T.V. show PASS TIME and did a 10 second run, not to shabby.Apr 15, 2015

The Chevelle in my garage belongs to my father, so I can't say its truly mine. He had a pair of 69s many years ago and gave me a bug for musclecars. The brakes are a little on the soft side, but a simple pressure bleeding job should take care of it. Great for car shows and the Broadway cruise!Dec 03, 2009

Baby is real fun to kick around in. New 307 being timed today, the last one just wore out. When I drive it, people asked about my husband and refer to the ownership as his. Baby is not husband's, he came later. This agitation really irritates me. Everyone that reads this--men--start believing that a woman can command this, get out of the dark ages....because we just might beat you off the light, on purpose. Nov 15, 2009

I have had this car since I was 16. It is a 4 door 1968 Chevelle. Right now it has a 327 out of a 65 vette with a small blower on it. Still has factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, etc... A great cruiser.
I murdered it out with flat black paint and a punisher logo lol.Nov 03, 2009

The qaulity of the car is average. The car had a paint job done about 25 years ago. The interior is original. It is an automatic with B&M. Has a 327 small block, 400 turbo hydramatic. Gets approximately 18mpg without excessive excelleration. This car is a really fun to drive because it gets a lot of attention and that don't build cars like this anymore. Jul 01, 2009

Love every little bit of it, other then the fact that it has lips in the wheel wells to catch all the salt and sand. Which is term lead to rusting that I cant fit. But it is definitely a nice sporty car. Could use a bigger engine tho.Jun 19, 2009

In the middle of restoration and performance upgrades. Putting in an LT1 motor in it, hoping for 300 HP, cam etc. Car is Blue and Rust. Car is not running yet, but hope to completely rebuild this bad boy into a performace machine. Fenders currently off and Front suspension in the process of being rebuild. Need to get the LT 1 rebuilt with new cam and computer. Jul 26, 2008

This was a "real" SS 396. After owning one of these, few cars can compare. Mine was the 325hp with the m22 4 speed. Factory bench! I hate myself forever for not keeping it.Apr 01, 2008

It's still in construction just with the little stuff like paint and finishing the interior, the interior is custom with electric seats from an olds aurora and a custom built console holding a tci full drag shifter. As for the motor I'm gonna have to let ya'll keep guessing on that one!Feb 09, 2008
