When the second-generation Chevelle came out in 1968, it was on a shorter 112-inch wheelbase with a 1-inch-wider track. Combined with a dramatically resculpted body with tapered fenders and a rounded body, the ’68 Chevelle had the equivalent of blonde bombshell looks. And to prove that the ’68 Chevelle SS was more than just another pretty face, Chevy endowed it with a brace of 396ci big-block powerplants in 325-, 350-, and 375hp equipment levels.
That might’ve been well enough back in 1968, but Tony Arnold has witnessed the march of performance over the decades, and he’s done a great job of keeping his Chevelle SS396 in step with the times. The 396 has given way to a fortified 454 with ported iron heads, a Crane bumpstick and roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer 2.0 intake, and an 800-cfm Edelbrock carb. That power gets funneled to an M22 Muncie four-speed and a 12-bolt with 3.73 Richmond gears. Stopping is improved with GM D52 disc brakes and ceramic pads, while cornering is hastened with Hotchkis control arms, KYB shocks, and Edelbrock sway bars. Tony’s daughter-in-law, Stephanie Arnold, gets credit for making it look even better
