Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
Interesting that it's a Turbo 400. That got me thinking. Obviously the only 3 speed auto for the 68's was the 400. But you could order a choice of 327's if I am right. They came with either a 2 barrel version (210 hp I think?) or the 275 horse 4 barrel version. Could you get the 3 speed auto with the 2 barrel? I don't think I've ever seen a 2 barrel 327 in a 68 with a Turbo 400.

In 1968 a buddy ordered a full size Impala with the 307 (2 bbl) and a turbo 400 from Don Howson Chev in Scarboro.
