The SS was transformed from a trim package to a performance option for 1968 and now included a {{convert|295|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} {{convert|350|CID|L|abbr=on}} V8 engine along with front disc brakes, heavy-duty suspension and other performance hardware. Optional engines included two versions of the big-block {{convert|396|CID|L|abbr=on}} V8 rated at {{convert|350|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|375|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}.
