Vehicle Description
You stopped to look at this 1968 Chevrolet Impala because it's a
great-looking hardtop at an affordable price. But then when you see
its been given all the right features - from a comfy A/C interior
to an enhanced small block - you'll realize this is one of the best
deals in classic cars today.
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 for a car
like this, the performance is a bit more subtle. If you look at the
pictures carefully, you'll be able to see the ghost SS-style dual
stripes. They are just a shade lighter than the Grotto Blue. And
this factory-correct color steals the show all on its own with its
deep luster that helps highlight the sharp edge curves on this
Impala. Because the brightwork is just as important, there has been
work to make sure everything is just as shiny as the paint. This
includes re-chroming the front bumper, and the all-important rear
one with that hallmark six taillight arrangement built into the
design.
This dual luxury and performance attitude continues on the freshly
restored interior. The black bucket seats and the comfortable
center console with iconic horseshoe shifter completes makes this
feel like a true Super Sport. 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 stereo 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.)
You're going to want to grab your sunglasses before popping the
hood. That's because there's been a serious investment in plenty of
polished components to grab attention away from even the bright
orange block. And when you look beyond the shine, you'll discover
the substance of a performance-built and period-correct 327
cubic-inch V8. It has been fortified with go-fast goodies such as a
big four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock EPS intake, headers, and a
stainless performance X-pipe dual exhaust with a fantastic rumble.
And more than just performance components, there has been a solid
investment in great cruising features, too. The independent front
suspension now features new urethane bushings and a thick front
sway bar. Combined with the stout three-speed automatic
transmission and power steering, this Impala is a great all-around
driver.
Complete with owner's manual, original warranty card, and plenty of
maintenance records, this Impala Custom Coupe is a true stunner. So
at this price you know you need to hurry to take it home. Call
