The full size Chevrolet muscle story does not get told often
enough, but cars like this 1968 Impala SS remind you just how
serious they were when the big block era was in full swing. Long,
low, and unapologetically bold, this teal coupe carries the kind of
road presence that only a late 60s Chevy can deliver. The Impala
was America's best seller for years, but finding a real SS equipped
big block car with this kind of attitude is a different
conversation entirely.
Under the hood sits a 396ci big block rated at 325 horsepower,
breathing through a Weiand aluminum intake and ceramic coated long
tube headers. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic that delivers
smooth, authoritative shifts. This combination defined Chevrolet
performance in the era and still delivers that unmistakable big
block torque that moves a full size coupe with ease.
Inside, the factory 812 code black SS bucket seats and center
console set the tone. A 3 gauge pod keeps vital signs in check
while an underdash AC system adds modern comfort to the classic
driving experience. The upgraded sound system with amplifier gives
you the option to cruise with your own soundtrack while the cabin
retains that unmistakable late 60s GM feel.
The exterior keeps things interesting with custom pinstriping,
chrome accessories, and a set of 16 inch Prime wheels wrapped in
serious rubber. Power steering and power brakes with front discs
make it far more enjoyable to drive than many of its
contemporaries, giving this Impala a balance of classic style and
real world usability.
Big block Impalas have been gaining traction among collectors who
want something different from the usual Chevelle or Camaro crowd.
This Factory SS example checks the right boxes with its correct
engine suffix code, strong options, and unmistakable presence. It
is a driver quality car that invites you to get behind the wheel
and enjoy what made Chevrolet king of the streets in 1968.
