1968 Chevrolet Impala SS396 325hp
Matching numbers FACTORY M-20 (21?)Muncie 4-speed A/C P/S P/D/B - Bucket seats - Floor Console
Factory Air Conditioning works excellent and blows ice cold.
I purchased this car to drive, asI am not into show cars and trailer queens. Possibly one of the nicest 'driver' cars I've ever had.
History of car is that it has always been in the southwest between Texas and Arizona. Very slight bubbling of paint at rear quarters but it won't show up in photos. Some rust at rear trunk area (see photo), OTHERWISE THIS IS AN almost RUST FREE SOUTHWEST GEM
L35 engine factory rated at 325 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque at 3200 rpm. This orig. matching numbers motor has been slightly warmed over during rebuild. See below.
All original chrome, trim, rallye wheels, etc. All in good shape, but definitely original with some hairline stress cracks in corners of chrome bumpers, etc. This is a 5 footer car--definitely nice driver quality but not a perfect show car by any means. Could be restored to show car quality, but why would you? Too much fun to drive as is.
Orig. 12 bolt rear differential, 3:31 ratio open rear end.
245/60/15 Cooper RWL radials are at approx. 80% tread remaining. Mounted on very nice set of orig. Rallye wheels. Spare included but NO JACK.
IINCLUDES: Orig. AM Radio, new repro chrome exhaust tips, and spare NOS tail light lens as seen in last photo.
All dash gauges - interior and exterior lights - buzzers & alarms - all working great. All window glass(tinted) looks tobe original and in excellent cond. All windows operate as should roll up/down all window crank mechanisms all in good working condition & operating smoothly.
Clutch and transmission working excellent. Motor runs excellent--starts very easily and runs great. NO ISSUES with any driving mechanicals or function. 4-speed Fan motor blower heater A/C works great. Orig. 4 speed Muncie shifts very well, nice & tight with no slop in shifting mechanism or trans."MUNCIE" embossed into chrome shifter with original 4-speed shifter ball. Clutch action is very smooth and engages/disengages nicely with no slip.
This was an originalgold/gold/black topcar that was changed to red/black/black top. Some paint flaws I've tried to show in photos, but they are very minor and difficult to show. Original carpet still in place. NO CRACKS in original dash. Exterior vinyl top looks newer and is in excellent shape. All stainless trim and chrome is original, allSuper Sportbadges appear to be original.
Original engine rebuilt at 84K miles with mild cam upgrade, head & valve work, etc. Not a drag racer, but still street-able and mildly tuned.Very powerful engine has great sound and mild lope to cam. Foot to floor and thisbeast can really move, even as big and heavy as it is. True dual exhaust with Turbomufflers all the way to back. This is a relatively quiet car and is very quiet at freeway speeds. Excellent suspension, tight steering with no slop, excellent brakes, NEW DRIVE SHAFT, NEW POWER BRAKE BOOSTER, NEW A/C LINES and compressor re-charged, NEW FUEL LINES, etc.
If you've read this far you probably already know how rare a factory matching numbers engine / matching numbers 4 speed Muncie Trans / true SS396 / Air Conditioning / Power Steering / Power Disc Brakes car is. The factory air combined with factory 4-speed makes this car very rare indeed. This is also therareCustom Sport Coupe body style.

I found the numbers at the passenger front of the engine block and they read as follows:
T1220IA 78R133506
Looks like it is indeed a factory 4-speed, and the last nine digits also match the car's V.I.N.
Brakes arepower DISC front & DRUM rear.
The carb is an Edelbrock 4-bbl (big one). All other accessories including radiator, fan, shroud, pumps & pulleys etc. seem to be OEM original style.
The A/C might have been converted to R-134, however I can't promise that. I don't see any stickers designating it as having been converted, so it's possible that it might still be charged with R-12.
Please feel free to call or email with any more questions. Mike 623-465-0636
