This is my 1968 Chevy Impala convertible. It's one of only 21,700 made in 1968. That year there were roughly 732,000+ impala, biscaynes, bel airs, caprices, kingwoods, etc made. My son and I saw this car for sale in Westwood MA back in 2003. The owner wanted $3k for it and I immediately cut him a check. We spent two years restoring the car. The roof is fairly new, we rebuilt the 307ci engine, upgraded to disc brakes in the front, rebuilt the powerglide trans and basically upgraded/fixed/replaced everything that needed it. We fabbed up 2.5" dual exhaust because no one makes an exhaust kit for this car. (And damn is this exhaust loud, cops hate it, I have a roll of warnings to prove it). We did all the body work ourselves during 6 weeks in 2007. There are all kinds of aftermarket Edelbrock, MSD, Hooker Headers, K and N goodies under the hood but she's basically just a fun car to cruise and enjoy during our short summers here in the NorthEast.
