1968 IMPALA TURBO LS SWAP 4L80E PRO TOURING RESTOMOD 842RWHP

I purchased this car about a year ago from the gentleman that spent the last 8 years building it. It started out in 2012 as a factory numbers matching 250 HP 327, Powerglide, and 10 Bolt rear end. In 2015 the car underwent a complete drivetrain upgrade to a 1000 horsepower turbo LS 6.0, 4L80e trans, and 12 Bolt rear. No corners were cut to ensure reliable power, drivability, and comfort. It's currently tuned with the factory E38 ECM to run E85 at 19 PSI to product 842 rear wheel horse power.

There has been about 4,500 miles put on the drivetrain without an issue. The cars starts easily when cold or warm just like a modern EFI car should. Everything works except the ammeter and the clock. Everything else including the lighter, key buzzer, glovebox light, trunk light, & all dash lights. The dash cluster has been converted to dimmable LED bulbs. The heat and defrost work great but is not a factory AC car.

The car has been lowered and drives and handles awesome due to the all upgraded suspension, big Baer brakes, and adjustable coilovers/shocks. You can dial in extra rebound and compression for better handling or dial it out for a smoother ride. You can also set them up like a drag setup for weight transfer. The idle is fairly tame with a bit of lope but the exhaust keeps everything in check and does not drone on the highway. Roll into boost and the exhaust dump valve starts to open around 8 PSI and is fully open by 12 PSI, just make sure you pointed where you want to go first. The 4L80e shifts beautifully and is almost stock like when driving normally. The Yank converter allows you to build boost if you choose and really allows the turbo to work at higher boost levels. The lockup keeps RPM's low when cruising.

The body is very nice and rust free. It was painted by the previous owner who owned a body shop and this was his personal car and it shows. It's finished in Dupont Chroma Premier Tuxedo Black. The lines are beautiful and very straight and the gloss is a mile deep. All of the trim is present and in very good condition. The bumpers are original and straight but have slight pitting but are still very good. The stainless trim is all nice and straight. You must see the car to understand how nice and straight it is. The interior is also near perfect and very impressive.

The interior is in great shape with seating and belts for 6. I bought the car to replace an LS3 1962 Chevy II as I have 2 little boys and my wife and 2 car seats are way comfortable in the car. The extra room of the full size platform really makes a difference inside. The Strato Bench is a unique feature that looks like buckets but is really a bench. The best part is a comfortable folding armrest with late model retractable cupholders custom installed and painted to match in it. The 6 way power seat unit was completely rebuilt using all factory parts and new custom machined Derlin sliders for the tracks. All gears and cables were disassembled, cleaned, and lubed. The tracks themselves were cleaned and clear coated for a factory look.

The trunk is in very nice shape and has gray and white splatter paint. The battery, starter solenoid, and fuel pressure control module are mounted back there. The finish is very nice and presentable.

I have a massive folder full of receipts along with a binder that I organized the instruction manuals to the various devices. The cars runs, drives, and sounds great. There is never another one like it at a car show and it drops jaws everywhere it goes. I encourage anyone interested to call me with any questions they may have.
