If you are shipping, once the vehicle has been shipped, the transaction will be considered complete and there will be no cancelations or refunds of any kind. (for obvious reasons) Here is my detailed report on this vehicle which was prompted by some of your questions. I will be using a scale of 1-10 Here is my guide: 1-being beyond repair 5-being functional but needing cosmetic repair or vice versa 10-being completely perfect or good as original As I stated in the description and from what you can't see in the pictures, are some minor cosmetic imperfections. Small scratches, chips, and dents are present, but they are very minuet. I will send you a few pictures to clarify. If the paint and body was literally 100% flawless, (which would be better than the factory finish) is a 10 - this car would be a 7. If there were no blemishes that occurred after the paint job I would give it a 8. The wearable items (brakes, tires, ect.) are all new or near new - 9 The glass is all original and is in very good condition. Some very minor blemishes and typical slight delamination in the corners, hardly noticeable - 9 The engine, transmission, and differential, (and their counterparts) are numbers matching and in great condition , cosmetically and mechanically. I will say an 8 for cosmetic and a 9 for mechanically operable. 396cid Turbo Jet/325hp - 400 hydramatic (Turbo 400) 12 Bolt Posi ( I believe 3.08 gears - If you need to know for sure I will find out positively its either 3.08 or 3.55) The suspension has mostly been replaced/restored and is an 8 cosmetically and a 9 for operable as well . The electrical system and everything it encompasses is sound and all functions are operable with the exception of the 8-track. It seems someone has possibly had a modern radio head installed at sometime in the past and when they put the original 8-trck back in, they did not bother to connect it electronically. - I will investigate this more if desired. Other than that - this gets a 9 for function and a 9 for appearance. (wire routing, splicing, ect) The interior is mostly all original we suspect. The vinyl seats, panels, and dash are in very good condition. you may find a small superficial hairline crack, but for the most part, it is as good as it gets. Some minor dullness (you can see in the pictures). The plastic and metal parts are all in fine shape. Anything less than what it looked like in 1968 is due to time, not wear. Some dullness and light checking. (you can see this on the steering wheel in the pictures) . The top is new and functions as designed. Interior score - 7 with the potential to be an 8 with a bottle of interior refresher / conditioner and some time. Trunk, engine compartment, and undercarriage - Pictures speak for it - 8 or 9 ? I will say this vehicle over all is an 8. You can see what it sold for at Barrett Jackson by clicking the link above. I believe that alone should instill your confidence in this vehicle. This car is a cross between a show car and a driver. It may not be the best at the Barrett Jackson type auctions but it might be the nicest one at your local car show. This is a car you can drive and enjoy without having to worry about every bug that hits your windshield. This car appeals to every type of potential owner. It can be a driver, show car, collector piece, small project, or all of the above. If it were mine, I would drive and enjoy it as a "Sunday car", touch up little things as I go,(and as more develop inevitable from use) and take it to car shows. If you are looking to do a restoration, - this is not the car If you are looking for a trailer queen - this is not the car ( but it can be I suppose) This is a car that is in probably as good as shape as the late model car you drive everyday, and I bet this 1968 Impala will cost less than the car you are driving now. Just saying - what kind of car can you buy nowadays under $27,000 ? Like I have stated, this is not my car, but a car I am listing for a very good customer. I been around this car several times over the passing years and recently I went over it very thoroughly in order to list it. My opinions are true, professional, and unbiased. Happy bidding! Questions are always welcomed! Here is a link to the pictures of virtually the only few marks on this car. Video of this vehicle selling at Barrett Jackson!

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
GM follows Ford and Honda in skipping SEMA
Fri, May 20 2022The list of automakers skipping SEMA has become longer. First reported by Muscle Cars and Trucks, and confirmed to us by a company representative, General Motors will not have an official presence at the aftermarket show. It joins Ford and Honda in leaving the show. It will be a large hole in the show, with the GM brands typically filling a significant swath of available show space in one of the main halls. GM hasn't provided much explanation for the move, either. The GM representative provided Autoblog with the same statement that Muscle Cars and Trucks got: "GM has made the decision not to participate in the 2022 SEMA Show. The SEMA show has always inspired us, and accessories and performance parts remain an important part of our business." We also asked if we would see any sort of announcements around the time of the show — Ford said it has plans to share some things around that time — however, the GM representative said that the company has no immediate plans for announcements. Certainly things could change between now and the November show, though. SEMA had previously noted that other exhibitors would help fill in some of the space vacated by these major OEMs. Another OEM, Volkswagen, is returning to the show after an absence, which will also help with the display deficit.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
