Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Impala is a real-deal Super Sport with a
cool/coordinated look, large A/C interior, and original big block
power. So as you look over this coupe, you'll see a lot of care it
took to properly present an all-around terrific classic.
The squared-off roofline of this Impala is a bit different, and
Chevy fans know this is something very special. 1968 was the first
year for the Impala Custom Coupe. This gave the Impala the same
roofline as the top-dog Caprice, so to have it featured in black
vinyl adds some prestige to the sporty appearance. And this
full-size coupe centrally has the look of performance. The Matador
Red paint is a 1968-correct color, and it was upgraded later in
life (2015) to give it a bold shine. The full-length black strip
not only adds to the sporty appeal, but it has a touch of elegance
as it coordinates with the roof. The '60s-style chic continues on
the brightwork with the large grille, Rally wheel package, and the
big chrome bumpers with the all-important rear one carrying the
Impala's hallmark six taillight arrangement built into the
design.
This dual luxury and performance attitude continues on the
well-presented interior. The black coordinates with the exterior
accessory color, and it always looks great in a classic American.
The bucket seats and the comfortable center console with iconic
horseshoe shifter completes the true Super Sport feeling. A
full-size car like this can comfortably carry up to five people
with ease, so you get great features to keep everyone happy like an
AM/FM radio and ice-cold air conditioning running modern R134a. But
even when you're just cruising by yourself, this Impala is a great
choice. After all, you're going to love grabbing the three-spoke
sports steering wheel and gazing at the classic speedometer that's
as long as the horizon. Plus, the pillarless profile that comes
from rolling down all the windows on this premium hardtop is worth
the price all on its own (and thanks to the A/C you can look cool
while staying cool.)
The ideal full-size classic coupe will have plenty of power to get
it moving, and this one does not disappoint. The numbers-matching
396 cubic-inch big block fills the engine bay with V8 power. The
black fender walls funnel your attention to the bright block,
shining valve covers, and matching air topper. But more than just
look nice, they also upgraded this original V8 for power. It has
enhancements like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and headers that add power while contributing to the rumble
of the dual exhaust. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission
is a stout unit that can handle the power, especially after a
rebuild in 2002. It also makes it a comfortable cruiser. The same
goes for the power steering, power brakes, and newer urethane front
bushings.
The sale come with the owner's manual, reproduction window sticker,
and maintenance records. This Impala SS is a sporty and
sophisticated combination that makes for an irresistible deal. Call
