Auto Ambush: 1968 Chevelle

Auto Ambush: 1968 Chevelle
it brings me back to a time that we were teenagers growing up during the first muscle car era, paul Caputo saw all the amazing cars come out of Detroit and in 1968 1 really stood out. It's the first year of this body style, 1968 Chevelle Ss convertible with a completely new look, long hood, short trunk bulging rear fenders. It was an instant classic Chevy sold 464,000 of them paul's ss or super sport 3 96 convertible is one of just 2286. 1 of the best of the breed. A super sport was built a lot more solid to withstand the torque and the power that meant that it came with the maximum power, the bigger engine, the stronger transmission, the stronger suspension, It's a numbers matching 396 m2 3 75 horse. It's got some work done to the internal parts of the engine to beef it up. A little paul bought this car from a friend locally back in 1991. I had hounded him about this car for about a year. He gave in to me and he sold me this car for $8000 over the last 30 years, paul has gone through it front to back repairing and refreshing but leaving it as original as possible. I could re chrome the bumpers, I can buy new trim, but then it's not a 68 anymore. It's something that looks like a 68, Almost 70 years old. I've still got that 17 year old in me where when somebody starts revving their engine next to me, even being from the law enforcement community, I've still got to stomp on the gas. Never grow up Paul. You're too much fun on the auto ambush. Eric Green T Action seven News.
