I had to rewind to make sure 616K was the mileage lol. This was my 1st car but 4dr and 327 but I busted heads and had the fastest car at highschool period and could do a 8th mile burnout to boot... oh and haul 4ppl in back 3(including me) in front and still chirp 2nd gear. That car was a party on wheels! Got it at 52K and sold it with 92K. Finaly got parted out all over the world by one of my friends (I think)... bastard.

Not to burst your bubble, but I believe there were 1,778 of these built. Nice car!

661,000 miles! WOW! It's not badged as Chevrolet or Impala because it was called "SS427" period. 90% of the people describing these cars always add the "Impala" to the model and it bugs me. I had a 67 and it always got "Impala SS" branded to it when it was badged as neither. You do the car proud.

@cbxsage That's because it IS an Impala - SS427 was a model option for the Impala, not a separate series. If you look at any of the official literature of the day, it normally says something along the lines of "SS427 equipment you can order for the Impala...." Yes, the cars were not adorned with Impala emblems or identification, and maybe Chevrolet wanted them known simply as "SS427" but the cars WERE Impalas with Impala VINs.

Damn I love that year, I think it's the tail lights that grab me. A very close second is the 59 impala. It's a beauty man.!! =D

Beautiful `68 Z24. It's always great to see original owners of these cars that had the foresight to actually hang on to them after all these years! I too own a Grotto Blue `68 SS427 Sport Coupe, Z03/Z24 (Super Sport & SS427), 425 HP L72, M21, with ~43K original miles. (I'm the 3rd owner). Of the 1778 Z24 cars built in `68, I'm just curious where you were able to locate the numbers 416 Z24 Sport Coupes produced with <100 remaining? I've never been able to narrow the numbers down to that level.
