1970-72 classification of 68 chevelle ss 396/375

[bert powell]

Had a 68 SS in high school '83 and built a 427 for it. Sold it in '98 to build first super stock car. Found this body 3 years ago and been gathering parts. Want to look like it was found in a barn as raced in super stock ~1970-73? Have Lakewood ladder bars, moroso mech tach, S&w gauges, winters shifter. Looking for some super tricks or nice cragars for front. Thinking about even adding tow hooks to front. Want to add class designation letters to windows but not sure which class.

Have 496 done, should make 670hp with 4000 stall and 4:11. At 3800, hope will run low 11s- high 10s.

Plan to have done for Hot Rod Power Tour in Charlotte in June.

I like that car. l might have seen one almost like that before.

Still did not get a good answer for what super stock class a 68 chevelle 396/375 fit into in 1971? Five weeks into the project from a rusty car to a completely redone frame off and set the body back on. Can't wait for Hot Rod power tour!

You might wanna do a little research. I don't think the Super Trick wheels came out until late 70's

I'm thinking someone else needs to do a little research,,, Jenkins had them on the Vega in'72,, theres photos of Landy's Challenger with them before that,, and I bought my first set in '73,, thats early 70s, so they would've been available for a S/S Chevelle in full dress back then. My 2 cents.
