Vehicle Description

4168-PHX 1968 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS 396

One of only 1,778 SS convertibles produced in 1968, this Chevrolet Impala SS 396 sports Matador Red paint throughout its full-size body. The white canvas top includes a glass rear window for better visibility and longevity. The 24"x9" front and 24"x10.5" rear Rally-style wheels create an eye-catching stance, while 255/30/24 front and 295/25/24 rear tires provide the necessary grip. The suspension has been modified to accommodate these large wheels. An American flag mounted on the antenna adds a distinctive touch to this big-bodied Chevy convertible.

Parchment vinyl adorns the interior from the bucket seats to the door panels. The factory center console houses an authentic horseshoe shifter for the automatic transmission. A black vinyl dash top frames the original gauge cluster, which displays all vital information clearly. The floor-mounted shifter allows for manual gear selection when desired. The trunk features a two-tone finish with partial factory flooring, offering plenty of storage space for cruising gear or weekend luggage.

The original numbers-matching 396 cubic inch V8 sits between the fenders, topped with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor on an orange-painted intake manifold. This big block sends power through a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission to a sturdy 12-bolt rear end. An aluminum radiator helps maintain proper operating temperature. The power steering system makes maneuvering easy despite the large wheel and tire combination. Dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers produces a deep V8 rumble, while power front disc brakes provide excellent stopping power.
