View Full Version : My new 1968 Chevelle SS!!
I just got this thing last night from a guy in Golden and couldn't be happier with it! It has a Chevrolet ZZ502 crate motor mated to a Tremec 6 Speed tranny. Two owner car with 93k on the chassis. It came from the factory with A/C, Power Steering, Power disc brakes, Roller Tachometer and tons of other options (air shocks, posi traction rear end etc).

Nice!
Man that is awesome.
What was the original tranny in the car? My 71 Vette (very early stages of a project car) has the 3 speed auto, and I eventually would like to convert it to a manual.
Congrats on the new ride!
Original Engine tranny combo was the 350HP 396 and a turbo hydramatic trans. Current setup has 850cfm holley carb put down over 400 rwhp. Engine spec'd at 502hp and 567tq
I popped a chub as well, very very nice car man!

Awesome ride!
I bet with the 502 and BFG smokemasters that thing is loose as hell at anything below freeway speed.

Nice car Hope ya enjoy it. Just a thought since I know many of the resto mod guys are doing it.
Because it looks stock besides the wheels think about some of the new stock style wheels in 17X9. I know they offer a Magnum in 17X9 https://www.yearone.com/Product/DisplayProduct/425121
Having driven a 70 GTO with this size wheel and tire along with a swaybar upgrade it is a great bang for the buck upgrade. Ya already have the 502 and TKO so why not. [Flower]

Always favored the Nova but that is a nice Chevelle.
Congrats on the new toy!

I don't like the wheels personally that are on it. I really liket the 17 rally style even the original 14's. These will be gone this week.

Nice! That's a great looking car!
Gaw-damn! Beautiful car! A 502? OMG.
I used to have one of those back in the 70's. Lord, I wish I still had it, had some good times in that car. Wasn't near as slick as yours though.

Um, I believe you're thinking of the OP, GT3RS. My Chevelle has been gone for many, many years.

Oooooo weeeeeee that think looks awesome.
[Bow]
That is sweeeeetetttttttt!
That's a pretty cool looking car, and like Mike, I'm not an old car guy.
Nice wheels man!!!!
Lots of my buds use to run Chevelles and Novas.They pretty much went back to the earth with the way NY rust is.
I think that green was the most popular color of that timeframe,and that goldish brown,for all makes.Detroit musta had an over abundance of the stuff...

I just regained composure. It was a Tee-Pee. Nice ride.
I'd love to hear that 502 talking. I looked at some Chevy crate motors once when I still had my '72 C10 that I was thinking about customizing. That's gotta be better than the old big-blocks by orders of magnitude!
Can you even drive that car WITHOUT sportin' wood?
Is there a way to post a video from my iphone of it running on this forum? If so I'll do it so you guys can hear her run
