1968 Chevrolet Impala SS Custom Coupe

“The 1968 Chevrolet Impala is a true symbol of late-1960s American automotive design—bold, elegant, and built for both comfort and performance. As part of the fourth generation of Impalas, the 1968 model received a sleek and more aerodynamic body style with curved side panels, hidden windshield wipers, and a sculpted front grille that gave it a smooth, flowing appearance. The signature triple taillight design at the rear remained a hallmark of the Impala's identity, while chrome accents and wide proportions gave it a powerful road presence.” – Classic Cars

This 1968 Chevrolet Impala SS 396 Custom Coupe has remained in the same family since purchased in El Paso Texas. This Impala is presented in a Tripoli Turquoise body, Ermine White roof and coordinating Turquoise and Parchment interior. The original 396 cubic inch motor was replaced with a 454 cubic inch motor and is mated to a Turbo 400 transmission which delivers the power to the rear wheels through a twelve bolt rear-end.

The current motor was rebuilt and installed in 1996 utilizing a 454 cubic inch block and installing the original 396 crank and heads as well as forged pistons, mild camshaft, and Rhoads lifters.

This Impala SS was subject to a body off frame restoration performed in Texas approximately 20 years ago and has remained in good overall condition since, this can be attributed to the restoration of a solid car as well as being in a long-term storage situation with limited use. The underside and trunk area of this Chevrolet is impressively solid.

Originally a bench seat car this Impala was upgraded with front bucket seats and a center console. Factory options include power steering and brakes as well as air conditioning (which will require a service). Currently the radio has been deleted but the dash panel remains in good condition.

Coming out of storage this badged SS 427 has had a complete front and rear brake job as well as fresh oil and filter, what this car would benefit from next would be for someone to get behind the wheel and shake off the cobwebs as they are cruising in this classic.
