The seller says the car runs great and has recently benefitted from getting new brakes and Goodyear tires. The transmission is an automatic, which could be a 2-speed Powerglide but more likely a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. Under the hood is the usual Impala fare, a 350 cubic inch V-8 with a 2-barrel carb that put out 245 hp (down 5 hp from 1970). The ad refers to the car as having AWD (all wheel drive), but that’s in error as these large Chevrolets were always rear-wheel drive until 2000. But nothing here seems to be screaming for attention. The carpeting may be faded with age, but it’s hard to tell. The interior all looks good, although the photos taken are mostly local rather than showing the seats, dash and door panels all in one shot. The chrome and glass all look good and the optional fender skirts make an otherwise large car look even bigger. The vinyl top presents no issues like bubbles under the material.

That lead would continue for a few more years until the Caprice came onto the scene in 1965. With under 36,000 miles on it, this beauty can be found in Mount Sterling, Ohio and is available here on eBay where the seller has set $22,500 as the amount needed to take it home.Īfter its stylish debut for 1958, the Impala quickly replaced the Bel Air as the top-of-the-line Chevrolet. This Impala sport coupe with semi-fastback styling was a product of that abbreviated model year and looks as though it’s been lightly used. The car was all-new in the Fall of 1970 but got off to a slow sales start due to an extended strike against General Motors. This included the fifth generation which was built between 19. The Impala was a key player in Chevrolet’s line-up on and off between 19.
