1968 Black Impala L72

Posted by fasteddies69 User icon on 1/30/2019, 7:05 pm

I was wondering if anyone knew of a 1968 L 72 Black Impala SS. I owned the car back in the 1980s. I know the complete history on the car from new.

It did not have the louvers on the side or the SS hood. It was a 4 speed car with a 4:11 gear.

This should be a dead give away if you know of the car. It had factory fiber optics. Was in Coshocton Ohio last I knew. Thanks Ed

Thank you Mikael.

Close.... Mine had red 427 badges, fiber optics, no vinyl roof and a rear window defroster. Really like your car and thanks for the help.

Thanks Ed

In about 2005 there was a factory black/black ‘68 Impala SS (non Z24) sport coupe for sale in the Iola WI swap meet. It had faded red 427 markers and a 6K redline tach dash. I don’t remember if it had fiber optics. The car was repainted red and was rusty. It had a SBC and a 3 speed manual on the floor. The 4 speed console was in the trunk. I still kick myself for not buying it as it was a good deal.

This car was sold to a young kid in 1985 who came to a car show wanted the car, came back with the cash. The next morning his dad called and was furious. He had taken all of his college money he had saved and bought the car. The guy I sold it to offered him his money back. Never heard back from him. I would love to have the car back but if nothing else the guy that sold the car new is still alive and I was the 3rd owner and know the complete story he should know it. Thank you for your information I appreciate it

Have pictures of the car but looked a while back and could not find a vin number laying around. Only had it for the summer of 1980.

Thanks Ed
