1968 Chevrolet Impala

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 today!!!
