1968 Impala Fastback vs. Modern Upgrades

I have got a 1968 Impala Fastback and have been thinking about how it stacks up against modern features. Here’s a comparison:

  • Cracked Vinyl Seats vs. All-Leather Interiors
  • Wind Noise, Creaking, and Engine Grumble vs. Premium Sound Systems
  • No Gas Mileage Info vs. Gas Mileage Tracking
  • Vent Windows vs. Sunroofs
  • Dull Mirrors vs. Heated Mirrors
  • Cold and Sticky Seats vs. Heated Seats
  • Cold Start vs. Remote Start
  • Weird Swaying vs. Smooth Ride
  • Replacing Parts All the Time vs. Low Maintenance Costs
  • Reliable Only in Warm Weather vs. Reliable All Year Round
  • Metal Clank Noises When Closing Doors vs. Blend Door Actuator Noise

Overall, the Impala starts up great, but it’s interesting to see how these classic features compare to today’s upgrades.

I owned a 2007 LS for about 60k to 140k miles, and it was trouble-free.

I had none of the qualities you stated, but it was inexpensive and reliable. I believe I bought it for $7k.

I am thinking about buying a 96 Impala SS (or any Caprice with the LT1) to make an amazing beater/project car.

According to what I have heard, it’s a robust engine that isn’t always kept in tip-top condition, so it’s reasonably priced and relatively reliable for a car its age. Is this accurate for anyone who owns one of these vehicles?

My knock would occur intermittently for a day before ceasing. Now, at 175k miles, it only happens when I lock or unlock the vehicle…
