Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to digitally present
this beautiful 1958 Chevrolet Impala. Here is a little history
about the car provided by the seller. A car named "Bonnie
Sue."Bonnie Sue is the owner's dream come true in blue and has the
trophies to prove it. A 1958 Chevrolet Impala Bel Air Sport Coupe,
348 OHV V8 Tri power, 3 Rochester two barrel carburetors run at
280hp stock from this manufacturer's new line up. This one has the
two speed automatic transmission called a Power glide. Grade is for
low grade driving range on this Power glide model.In Fathom Blue
Iridescent to be specific, 18 coats of paint on a true American
classic car is what you see here inside and out, with
blue/black/gray vinyl interior. See the color charts included
inside this car for all colors available in Chevrolet 1958. All
original parts were used inside and out. Chrome was shipped out and
re chromed before putting on. The glass is in great shape, no
cracks were allowed. The owner's son was a certified glass
technician who did all this glass work. The lights are beautiful
and bright. New custom made seats, new carpet, new headliner, new
then AM/FM cassette player was installed in the glovebox with the
bigger speaker in the back. The heat works. There is no factory air
conditioning on this model. All instruments in the dash are working
properly. Under the hood and the trunk, it looks new in 2023. This
model has drum brakes with the white wall tires and chrome
hubcaps.The car was stripped down, piece by piece into crates
before our eyes. Then put back together by the master. Every nut,
every bolt is either black or fathom blue. I did the work learning,
loving every minute of our father daughter time. Working together
in the barn restoring this blue 58 Impala plus my blue 71 Corvette
at the same, rocked my world. My father found out I am good at
prepping for paint too. I brought my own computer chair, just the
right height for body repairs. The next day I walked into the barn
to work. Father said, "Yeah, this chair is pretty good to use
daughter, my back stopped hurting. It is a labor of love daughter."
Our Father continued to do more frame off- restorations in that
chair. The owner started out with a reward. I will pay $250 to
anyone who found him a usable 58 Impala. Owner paid his wife, his
son and his daughter, as each found one. The one you see is Bonnie
Sue, our 58 Chevrolet Impala we found down South with no rust.
There were polish highly dedicated professionals rebuilding this
car in 2000 to win car shows by 2002. Bonnie Sue has been barn kept
and covered. Bonnie Sue was driven for local parades, car shows,
James Dean, Auburn, and Friday night pizza night, totaling 2000
miles to date on this rebuilt motor, with loud exhaust. The owners
used ET in their first car show and won. The owner's ordered a
custom made cowgirl like their daughter for their next car show
display and won. Bonnie Sue is the name of this beautiful 1958
Chevrolet Impala, because Bonnie Sue helped restore her. Since
being restored, no other drivers have driven Bonnie Sue other than
the owners. Bonnie Sue bought ads and framed them for Fathers Day
gifts. Father's last birthday, Bonnie Sue ordered the matching blue
1958 Chevrolet Impala hat and key fob. The Happy Fathers Day love
needs to live on in Bonnie Sue. Who is Bonnie Sue's new owner? I
honor my late parents and brothers legacy by placing Bonnie Sue in
the great hands to sell at the biggest toy showroom Gateway Classic
Cars!
