Introduction

        Hello, I’m Marc Schiliro the owner of MS CLASSIC CARS,LLC.  You might recognize my name or my business name from beautiful classic cars and trucks I’ve listed for sale nationally.  I’ve got over 15 years of classic car and truck experience.  I’d like to put that experience to work for you. Over the years I’ve featured many classic cars and trucks at multiple different auctions across the United States. I consign multiple classic cars and trucks at all four of the Barrett Jackson auto auctions every year. I’m considered one of the top consignors at Barrett Jackson.  I’ve had many classic cars and trucks sell in the top 25 highest sale priced vehicles for each event.  They’ve also offered some of my cars as the “Marc Schiliro Collection”. I was fortunate to have Speed TV at my new facility for an interview for Barrett Jackson that aired during the Barrett Jackson auto auction in Palm Beach 2012.  I’m a regular consignor at the Mecum auctions as well.  I also have had many cars that have been featured in multiple magazines and multiple websites.  I specialize in beautiful classic cars and trucks that have what I call “The Pop Factor”. I purchase classic cars and trucks that are finished, I redesign other people’s restorations and have also coordinated restorations from start to finish.  I’m currently not doing full restorations as it takes too much time and money.  I love what I do and I’m extremely passionate about it!  

        Two years ago I opened a beautiful new facility located in Seekonk, MA.  MS CLASSIC CARS is open to the public on Saturdays.  We offer about 25 classic cars and trucks for sale. We also offer complete automotive detailing.  Our facility is very neat and organized.  When you call you deal directly with me. I appreciate the opportunity.  We except all trades.  If you’d like to be added to our VIP EMAIL BLAST that gets sent to thousands of people when we get a new addition please visit my website and sign up.  Please also like us on Facebook for updates.  The power of networking is amazing!

Market

        I've been collecting classic cars and trucks for over fifteen years now and have seen a lot happen. I've seen the hobby continue to grow not only at the auctions but also with the amount of television shows, magazines and websites that are related to classic cars in some form or another. I strongly believe the classic car market is a great place to invest in. When the economy is strong, the classic car market is extremely strong. When the economy isn't so strong the classic car market holds its own. I've sold classic cars and trucks in both economic conditions. The reason classic cars make such a great investment is because people are crazy about cars, especially the classics! I've learned it's not just the United States; it’s the entire world. Barrett Jackson stated, "Foreigners can sometimes represent 25% of the registered bidders at one of our auctions." At the Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, AZ 2011 they stated, "There was a registered bidder from every state in the USA.” I've also learned that no matter the gender or age, all different people appreciate this hobby. Another example would be the Barrett Jackson auto auctions; not only do millions of people watch it live on the Speed Channel but hundreds of thousands of people attend these auctions. Every year the attendance of visitors at the event and number of viewers on T.V. increase.

        Over the years I've noticed that the extremely detailed classic cars have always commanded a higher price. Even people who don't have any classic car experience can recognize and appreciate attention to detail. Currently the overall market is on the raise once again. Certain classic cars are on the rise and others are on the decline. Typically, the classic cars that are on the rise are the cars that a lot of people don't own. In other words, there are classic cars that haven't saturated the market. The cars that are at every car show and auction and page on the Internet for sale are the ones that aren't changing in value or are slowly on the decline. Of course, if the car is spectacular it will command a higher price as I mentioned. It's all about supply and demand, not a good or bad economy. Custom cars have remained strong because each car is different from the next one. They each have their own character.

“I’m putting my money where my mouth is”

        I’m just a 38 year old blue collar guy who was working full time selling new and used Mercedes Benz.  I was selling my classic cars and trucks part time.  Although I had my used car dealers license I didn’t have a facility that was open to the public.  Overall things were going just fine.  However, my dream was to open my own classic car and truck dealership.  I decided to give up my full time job with health insurance and a 401K to open a new classic and truck dealership.  I had to invest a ton of money to make that happen and now have a lot more overhead.  Do you think I would’ve done all that if I didn’t think the classic car and truck market wasn’t going to remain strong?  I consign anywhere from three to eight cars at each Barrett Jackson auto auction at no reserve because I know there’s always going to be bidders for classic cars and trucks.

Short Description

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Custom w/ 600HP

“The Incredible Hulk”

This car was built in Fremont, CA as a real SS 396 as both the VIN number and trim tag indicates!

It was originally painted rare Grecian Green and had black bucket seats as the trim tag also indicates!

This car has been completely restored from top to bottom very low mileage since!

From what I’ve gathered and researched it retains all or mostly all of the original sheet metal.  The body is straight and the gaps are tight.  The hood, doors and trunk open and close as tight as a bank vault!

The exterior was painted in its original rare Grecian Green color.  This color is beautiful and gets a lot of compliments.  The paint is very nice and worthy of calling it show quality!

Everything on the exterior has been restored or replaced such as the glass, stainless trim, bumpers, lights, emblems, etc!

The car is wrapped in new American 15” Torque Thrust wheels with 225/70/15 Copper Cobra front tires and 275/60/15 Nitto Extreme Drag rear tires.  This car has a mean stance!

The black interior is beautiful and in great overall condition.   This car originally came with a black interior with bucket seats when it left the factory!

Everything in the interior has been restored or replaced including such items as the dash, seat covers, door panels, carpet, headliner, etc.  It has very tasteful black and silver Autometer Gauges with white LED background lights, Billet matte black steering wheel, Hurst pistol grip shifter and a Rockford Fosgate Ipod setup and Image Dynamics speakers!

The engine compartment is nicely detailed and home to the massive 496 engine with 600HP!

The engine in this beast was built with no expense spared and was dyno tested at 589HP before my shop changed the cam and retuned it. Now it’s probably over 600HP!  It runs on normal high octane pump gas with no issues.  Some of the engine upgrades include such items as Dart aluminum heads, Comp cam, PBM Hyd lifters and HD balancer, Edlebrock polished intake and aluminum timing cover, Holley High Performance street 750CFM carburetor and fuel pump, Chevrolet polished valve covers and air cleaner, chrome alternator, MSD ignition, polished pulleys and Optima red top battery!

The engine breathes through Hooker Super Competition ceramic headers with Flow Master mufflers! 

The engine is coupled with a Richmond 5-speed transmission with overdrive.  It has a Hurst shifter with pistol grip.  This is one of the best transmissions on the market and very expensive.  The power is put to the pavement through a built 12 bolt rear end with POSI traction!

Power Steering and Power brakes with front disc setup!

The trunk compartment is painted with a slight gloss finish and home to the spare tire!

The undercarriage is also nicely detailed with satin black floors.  Everything underneath this car has been restored or replaced.  It has QA1 adjustable shocks!

“The 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle was the first year for the new Chevelle design which is one of the most recognized muscle cars of all time.  In 1968 the VIN number still indicated if the car was a SS model.  They changed this in 1969 forward which makes it very hard to know what Chevelles were real SS cars from the factory.  The body on this car is very solid and the doors open and close like a safe.  This car left the factory in rare Grecian Green which it’s painted today.  The car also left the factory with black bucket seats which it still retains today.  The interior has tasteful upgrades.  The heart of this beast is a built 496 with 600HP! It has the Dyno sheet to prove it.  It’s been so dialed in by my shop it starts and runs like a small block.  Yes, it runs on pump gas.  I’ve collected and sold many muscle cars over the years and this is one of the fastest.  The Richmond 5-speed transmission with overdrive is great.  I would challenge anyone to find a 1968-1972 Chevelle that has everything this car has to offer in this price range.  Good luck with that.  Get it before some else does!”

Long Description

        MS CLASSIC CARS is proud to present a beautiful 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Custom w/600HP!  AKA: “The Incredible Hulk”.  

        Attention Chevelle Enthusiasts!  You’re about to witness one mean street machine that is ready for the pavement.  As my website indicates I’ve collected and sold many beautiful Chevelles.  Matter of fact, they’re one of my favorite classic cars of all time.  My second classic car was a 1969 Chevelle and ever since I’ve been hooked.  This is my first 1968 Chevelle and I’m very excited about it for multiple reasons which I’m listing below.  

        This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle was built in Fremont, California as the VIN number and the trim tag indicate.  It is a true SS 396 car as the VIN number and trim tag also indicate.  Unfortunately there are a lot of fake muscle cars being advertised on the market for sale.  At least with this car you know 100% it was a true SS car when it left the factory new.  This car was painted a very rare and beautiful color called Grecian Green as the trim tag indicates.  During the restoration process it was painted in its original color which I think is very cool.

        How many Chevelles have you seen in this color?   This car has been completely restored from top to bottom very low mileage since.  From what I’ve gathered and researched it retains all or mostly all of the original sheet metal.  The body is straight and the gaps are tight.  The hood, doors and trunk open and close as tight as a bank vault!  The exterior color shines beautifully especially in the sun and gets a lot of compliments.  The paint is very nice and worthy of calling it show quality.  It does have a few small chips but nothing worth complaining about.  Everything on the exterior has been restored or replaced such as the glass, stainless trim, bumpers, lights, emblems, etc.

        The car is wrapped in new American 15” Torque Thrust wheels with 225/70/15 Copper Cobra front tires and 275/60/15 Nitto Extreme Drag rear tires.  This car has a mean stance!

        The black interior is beautiful and in great overall condition.   This car originally came with a black interior with bucket seats when it left the factory.  Everything in the interior has been restored or replaced including such items as the dash, seat covers, door panels, carpet, headliner, etc.  It has very tasteful black and silver Autometer Gauges with white LED background lights, Billet matte black steering wheel, Hurst pistol grip shifter and a Rockford Fosgate Ipod setup and Image Dynamics speakers!

*** One thing that MS CLASSIC CARS does that most other classic cars dealers and private party don’t is we service every classic car and truck.  95% of the classic cars and trucks that I purchase and that are advertised for sale need to be serviced.  This 1968 Chevelle was a great find and the gentleman who owned it thought it was great. When I acquired the car I made a list and so did my service department as we do with every vehicle. Our classic vehicles speak for themselves.  I invested $3,357.85 my cost making it even better. This would've cost a retail buyer roughly $5000.00! My reputation means everything to me and this is why my vehicles sell quickly.  A complete list of the items listed below in no exact order is listed and also pictured below***

• Performed used car inspection
• Change oil and filter
• Removed broken fan blade and shortened fan bolts
• Cleaned and painted the bottom of the oil pan
• Removed distributer and disassembled and set the timing curve and vacuum advance
• Replaced carburetor with brand new Holley 750 CFM  4150 series
• Repaired interior trim panel and door panel.

“Make sure to ask the seller of the vehicle your comparing this 1968 Chevelle to if they have a classic car check list showing a complete inspection of the entire vehicle from top to bottom.”

*** Inspection Report***
If you read my introduction tab or visited my website you’ll probably agree that I’m a perfectionist and represent very detailed classic cars and trucks.  My reputation and feedback speaks for itself.  No vehicle is perfect and I want to be 100% upfront about each car.  This car is 46 years old and isn’t perfect.  Please call me at #508-557-0152 or email me with any questions.  I’ll tell you everything I know about the car and go over the entire exterior panel by panel if need be.

Thank you.  Marc Schiliro “The Owner”.

        Classic cars and trucks make great investments and are extremely fun to own.  It’s so exciting to search for a classic, purchase one and watch it come off the trailer, add your own touches, take it for a ride or just look at it sitting in the garage after a hard day at work.  Classic car and truck collectors aren’t just in the United States but worldwide.  The classic car and truck market is growing every day.  It’s seen at car shows and auctions, in magazines and on TV shows.  Get your new classic car or truck today.  You only live once, if you can afford it, do it!

        I do the best I can to represent my classic cars and trucks.  My results, feedback and reputation speak for themselves. Everyone’s opinion of a classic car and truck is different and I encourage questions prior to a purchase. I have a beautiful showroom with excellent lighting and a lift for a complete inspection if requested. Inspections will be scheduled by appointment only.  The closest airport is Providence, RI.  It’s only a 25 minute ride from the dealership.  I can arrange to pick up at the airport.  I also have a dealer plate that would allow for a test drive with a valid driver’s license for a serious buyer.  Please call 508-557-0152 or email for any questions.  Thank you. 

                                                                                                                              Sincerely,
