Re: 1968 Impala SS
Like I said,Its a 20 footer,dont let the pics fool you,It was one bad SS when I owned it.Since, I understand it spun a bearing.it was a solid lifter car.396 -30 over ,heads shaved 24 thousand,trw 10.5 to 1 pistons,holly 700 duel pumper carb(still on motor)etc.At the time,I thought it was about 425-450 hp at crank.I had also installed 411 rear gears which are still in it.I remember putting those rims on the car-17.50 into each one.lol First I found the rims,then scrounged for trim rings and center caps.

Re: 1968 Impala SS
----For the longest time I felt that 68s were just too big (that coming from a guy who likes big iron) but I have seen the light. This 68 is cool. By your description a value of maybe $13,000 to $15000?

Re: 1968 Impala SS
If the body is solid and it just needs cosmetics, I would say $8 - $10K. Even then, you start doing much in the way of restoration and you'll be upside down faster than you can say "upside down". If it was an SS427, that'd be a whole different story.

Re: 1968 Impala SS
----Part of my guess should have said "if you have to". And maybe a bit of over payment due to your past ownership as well.....Bill S
