So if it’s lowered, sitting on custom wheels, and tinted, this 1968 Chevrolet Impala station wagon listed for sale on Hemmings.com must be thoroughly restomodded, right? But hold the phone, that’s about the extent of it. There’s still a small-block delightfully bereft of chrome dress-up items under the hood and two big vinyl-covered bench seats in that three-shades-of-beige original interior with the pump for the airbags hidden away yet easily accessed. This thing was the definition of grocery getter and could still be with some less bling wheels. On the other hand, who wouldn’t mind showing up at the local supermarket or big-box hardware store with this as-is and airing up the bags to load a few extra sheets of plywood? From the seller’s description:

This awesome wagon is originally a California car, and it shows! This car has never seen any salt (was just moved outside for pictures). The car is kept in dry, indoor heated storage. There are some great creature comforts on this sweet build including Factory A/C that has been converted to a much more modern R134 system, Factory power windows that work awesome, upgraded 4-wheel power disc brakes, upgraded tubular rear trailing arms, tubular front control arms and more! This sweet Impala still has its original 327 engine and Automatic TH400 Transmission in great running condition with no issues. Car has absolutely no rust, rot or dents! Car has never been patched and has had one repaint in the original color.
