1968 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

1968 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Convertible – 396 V8 Classic Rides & Rods is proud to offer this stunning 1968 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Convertible with rare Hideaway Headlights, finished in a beautiful deep red with a contrasting white power convertible top and white bucket-seat interior. With its unmistakable full-size Chevrolet styling, big-block power and desirable Super Sport equipment, this Impala makes an impressive statement from every angle. Power comes from a period-correct 396ci Chevrolet big-block V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The engine carries a T0105ED stamping, identifying it as a Tonawanda-built 396. It is not being represented as the original numbers-matching engine. The engine compartment retains a classic appearance with Chevrolet orange engine paint, chrome valve covers and an Edelbrock air cleaner. The car is equipped with power steering and power brakes, discs front brakes, making this large convertible comfortable and enjoyable on the road. One of its most desirable exterior features is the hideaway headlight system, which gives the Impala’s wide front grille a particularly clean appearance. Inside, you’ll find a handsome white bucket-seat interior with center console and floor-mounted automatic shifter. The pearl white upholstery contrasts beautifully with the black dashboard and deep red exterior, creating the upscale yet sporty appearance these Super Sport cars are known for. The body presents exceptionally well with deep, glossy red paint, straight-looking body panels and excellent reflections. Chrome bumpers, stainless trim, Super Sport badging, 396 fender emblems and factory-style wheels complete the period appearance. The white convertible top also presents nicely and provides the perfect finishing touch. The VIN, 164678S156710, identifies this as a 1968 Chevrolet Impala V8 convertible built at the St. Louis assembly plant. Because Chevrolet offered the Super Sport as an option package in 1968 rather than identifying it through a unique SS VIN series, the car is being represented based upon its present Super Sport equipment rather than as a documented numbers-matching example. This is a beautiful big-block Impala convertible that offers the combination collectors want: 396 V8 power, bucket seats, console, hideaway headlights, power top and outstanding color combination.
