1968 Chevrolet SS Camaro 396 Big Block
The 396 big block was introduced by GM at the height of the late-1960s muscle car wars, renowned for its immense torque and dominant street presence. This example was professionally restored in 2011 by Andy’s Restorations and presents to a very high standard.
Built in March 1968 this factory 396 equipped SS rolled off the production line in Butternut Yellow at the Van Nuys (Los Angeles) California GM plant, The vehicle was imported to Australia in 1969 and converted to right-hand drive in the early 1970s. It would have been a rare and special import at the time and remains a special car today.
Freshened up by CV Performance 3 years ago, the date-code correct big block has shown over 400hp at the rear wheels. It is paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, featuring a TCI 3500-rpm stall converter and performance shift kit.
