1968 Chevrolet Impala

Remember when the SS was an option package, way back in like, 1963? Well, it became one again in 1968. The look was much smoother than previously, due in large part to a new technique of creating body shapes adopted by Chevy which involved creating a wire frame, covering it with cloth, then blowing it out to create a softer appearance.

Sales dropped to 38,210 in 1968, and could not be saved even by the wicked 427-ci V8 SS, capable of 425 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. A favorite modification to this car by taking the dual 4-barrel and creating a triple dual barrel. This would boost the horses to 600. Six hundred horsepower.
