bad 1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396/375HP Getting Down

Raising a little Cane in this hot 68 Chevy Chevelle SS 375 horse 396 big block. This car features the high winding solid lifter 396 along with 3.73 posi-track 12-bolt and a pair of factory bucket seats. Hang on and enjoy the ride. This one was filmed here at Samspace81 YouTube for Texas Motor Toys out of Terrell, Texas. This is a an American muscle car at its best. We burn a little rubber too.

Beautiful car! I love all types of cars but the small time I spent in restoration building muscle cars really made me appreciate them even more than I did as a young boy. There’s just nothing like them even other classic cars.

Love this setup. Nice and simple but that rumble coming out the rear is a sweet sound.

The 396 motor was a beast. But so is the buick grand national v6.

My oldest brother had a 68 ss396 when I was 7, I will forget him taking me and Mom for a ride when he got that car. I couldn’t lift my head from the back seat when he took off, Mom didn’t want anymore rides in that car, I couldn’t wait for the next ride. Only thing I didn’t like about the car was the pee green paint. His was a stick shift. Awesome car thanks for sharing the video 😊

What a car and what a sound! The movie Jack Reacher brought me here and I believe it was a 396 they used in the movie to.

I'm a Mopar guy first but if I was buying a brand new GM product in 1968 it would be a Chevelle SS 396/375- 4 speed with the L89 aluminum head option. The L78 396 is definitely one of Chevy's best regular production big blocks. Only the LS6 454 and L72 427 are better in my opinion. Really the baddest Chevy big blocks are the ZL1 and L88 427's but they are both full race engines with 12:1 compression or higher. Always liked the different solid lifter versions of the 409 too. And Chevy built better small blocks than anybody in my opinion even though I love the Mopar 340...particularly the 1970 LT1 350, the Z28 302, the L79 327, and the dual quad and fuel injected 283's of the late 50s-early 60s

Beautiful Chevelle. Back in the early eighties my uncle bought that exact same car from some old lady for $800 and it was in that same condition.... Once in a lifetime deal....

I can not get enough of this car!! What a beaut!

[adriantomlin]

Badass Chevelle! Can't beat a big block sound!

[hbarends]

Ahh. The rumble of a big block Chevrolet music to my ears!!!

This is the car, ('relatively highly modified'), that my friend Steve street raced at every opportunity for 2 years without losing a race. These were great muscle cars with outlandish potential. Parts for big blocks were already long in development and the pace was increasing exponentially with the aftermarket high performance parts industry. This is a gorgeous illustration of American drag racing mentality. It was great. Peace & Psilocybin

My oldest living cousin has had a few cars over her lifetime.To this day she talks about that old Chevelle SS 396 she owned new off the showroom.The era of American muscle sure meant so much to those who lived it.Too much qualudes and horsepower sent a lot of them to the scrap yard.Now you gotta be a millionare to find a matching#'s.I know they sure had the best of times though.

Sam you're Did it again you put me in the nostalgia mode, What beautiful beautiful memories thank you sir🚀🚀🚀⚙️⚙️⚙️🔥🔥🔥

Such a great original looking car. I'm glad to see that it retains the right time period rims and tires and not some god awful 20" rims with tires that have no sidewall. I put a lot of miles on one nearly like this the only difference was it had a white vinyl roof which I didn't care for and a pinstripe. I think these 375 hp engines were under rated. I believe they were more like 425 hp. I remember that you best have a hold of it when it shifted to second gear because it would go sideways. Pure muscle for sure.

That... is how a car should sound! Perfect exhaust note .🤓

Love the 65 - 70 Chevelles .... rear coil springs, full length frame. This one is especially nice.
