That's a beautiful car! The only question I have is, didn't all the Super Sports in '68 have disk brakes in the front?

No, Disk brakes were not standard as a part of the SS package on the chevelle until 1970.

Wow, we learn something new every day! :)

I think discs were standard beginning with the 69 SS Chevelles.

Hmm. I always thought '67 was the last year for drums on an SS car.

I am almost 100 % sure that Jeff is correct.

Rick is Correct, beginning in 1969, Single Piston Front Disk brakes were standard on the SS Option.

Trust me.

Gotta trust ya now!! Cause you are correct! Copied this from another part of this site

RESTORATION PART 2
Let's go into a restoration with a little more detail.
By Skip Cain


DISC BRAKE CONVERSION
This is the most frequently asked question on ACES tech. I strongly recommend changing to disc brakes if you are driving on the street. If you have a "Concours" show car trailer queen, leave your drums on. Drum brakes are old technology, and will stop your car eventually. If they get wet or hot, they will fade, and a quick stop is out of the question. I've had this happen to me, and believe me when I say it's no fun.

Disc brakes were available as an option on Chevelles for the 1967 model year. They used a 4 piston dual caliper design similiar to the Corvette. They also had to use different rims, due to caliper clearance, hence Rally wheels first appeared.These 4 piston, dual caliper design disc brakes proved troublesome, and tended to leak. For 1969, a single caliper 2 piston design was incorporated.It was standard on the SS package for that year.This is the design that you want to use. The spindels will interchange from 1964-1972. 1973 and later spindels will not interchange.Camaro and Impala spindels will not interchange.I am talking about a bolt on, no modification needed conversion.If you're lucky, you can still find some pre 73 disc brake A body cars in the junkyard. Be sure to get the master cylinder, proportioning valve, distribution block and power booster, as well as the spindels, rotors,backing plates and calipers. You will need to rebuild and recondition these components, so just don't bolt them on. The rotors will have to be turned, calipers and master cylinder rebuilt, new lines and fittings are recommended also.

Right
:yes:

$15,000.00 sounds way to cheap for that car to me. :confused:

So there was not a disk brake option prior to '67? :confused:

What was posted:
69 was the first year that disk brakes came standard on the SS Chevelle. (not an option)

Yeah but what about the car?? 15K for a "show winning" SS convertible? Why does that sound like he's asking WAY too little??:confused:

So there was not a disk brake option prior to '67? :confused:

Correct. Front Disk brakes became optional for Chevelles including SS cars in 1967, and were an option on Chevelles including SS cars in 1968.

Starting in 1969 you got a super sport, you got front disk brakes.

There is no mention that this car is a real super sport. I doesnt have a SS grill.

I smell fish.

Hi there ,

This great 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle is available for $15,000 and it has a clear title . Never damaged . Used it only around my town and it was always garage keept . Showroom condition and comes with all the original documents and service records that confirm it's perfect condition . Never let me down . It has only 59,000 original miles on it .

I am located in Providence, RI . If my location is too far there would be no problem because i can also have it shipped to your location . Just tell me where are you located so i can find out the exact shipping costs.

I will wait for your answer

Thanks a lot, Adam.

I'll have to agree. The wording just never seems right.If its too good to be true it probably is. Im sure no matter where you were,you wouldnt be able to go see it. Scamming bastards!

Mark, I understand what you are saying, but this is where my question was...

There was no mention of the Super Sport package in that first section. That's why I asked.

Not just a fish Dean. I think you uncovered a very rotten fish. Why would he advertise a car in Providence RI on the Vancouver Britsh Columbia Craigslist, and not on the RI craigslist? I checked. It is not there.

How do you know it's out of RI? I didn't see anything..

Re-read Dean's poat on the last page. Dean obviosly sent him an email and he got back......

Dean, e-mail him back and say your an hour outside of RI and would like to view that car, ask for a phone number to call for directions.

You'll never hear back from him.

I live 10 min away.
