Back in high school a friend of mine had a 68 Impala 2dr. fastback with a 327 and a 4 speed. Bucket seats, radio and heat and nothing else.

Love to know what happened to it.

Not available for 1968.

No 396 Big-Blocks for the Chevelle Station Wagon or Nomad.

In the Chevelle, the 396 was 'only' available in the SS-396 option
for the Malibu and El Camino.

Manual-Transmission 'only' for the 327/325 HP 'L-79' in the Chevelle and Chevy II Nova.

The 396/325 HP 'L-34" was not available in the Chevy II Nova SS-396.

No 350 Engines available in the Corvette or Chevelle.

No 327/325 HP 'L-79' available for the Camaro.

Camaro Z-28, 4-Speed only.

327/210 HP ~ 2-Barrel available in the Camaro 'only'.

That's why it looks like a GM assembly line when Stock and Super Stock are called.
