Chevrolet : Impala SS427

Up for auction - 1968 Impala SS427 Convertible  - #s matching!  Runs. Documented:

This car needs some loving!   I have had it for many years and do not have any plan to restore it so its needs a new home.     It deserves to be restored because it's a genuine original SS427 with a running original numbers matching engine and pedigree documentation.

Although the frame is pretty solid. the body is VERY rusty.

I have this for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  

Low reserve at less than value of parts.
