The 1968 model year didn't bring any change for the Impala from a sales perspective. The full-size car was still Chevrolet's number-one superstar, selling like hotcakes and spearheading the push for the American company in the home market.
However, the Impala received most of the changes that also made their way to other Chevrolet models, including the hidden wipers and plush interiors.
The engine offering also aligned with the carmaker's full-size strategy, so the first unit customers could order was the lazy 250 six-cylinder mill. It wasn't the most compelling engine, and it's why it didn't make its way to many Impalas, but it got the job done. Not everybody wanted the V8 madness of a big-block Impala, and Chevrolet knew it, so the six-cylinder was specifically aimed at people interested in grocery-getting Impalas.
The base V8 was the 307, but most people ordered the 327, which was still available with two power configurations, 250 and 275 horsepower. The 396 and the 427 were the top choices for this model year, with the latter developing 425 horsepower in the top choice.
A 1968 Impala coupe showed up on eBay after spending years in a barn. Seller 4x4import doesn't provide too many specifics, and it's the car's main problem. The lack of information makes this Impala a mysterious discovery, with some buyers likely to walk away because they can't tell if the car is original and complete.
The owner says the car has received "lots of upgrades," and it could be a suggestion that the Impala is no longer original. They also claim the car got a new engine, but no other specifics were shared. It's, therefore, impossible to tell what's up with this Impala without checking it out in person, especially because a new engine could mean either a correct swap or an upgrade to a massive big block.
The Impala still wears the 327 tags, but it's unclear if the owner has recently installed these as part of their upgrades or if they came with the car when it left the factory.
Its condition is good, and I don't expect the rust to be problematic. The interior is clean and in good shape, so the Impala qualifies for a daily driver project, especially thanks to the running engine.
With 63K miles, this Impala is unlikely to remain available for too long, though the lack of information and the high selling price could be a reason for some buyers to walk away. The owner is willing to let it go for at least $15,700, but they hope to make more than that as part of the eBay auction. You can see this Impala in person and decrypt everything about it with a visit to the owner in Pickerington, Ohio.
