Vehicle Description
Large, striking, and rare, this 1972 Chevrolet Impala convertible
is everything you love about a cool cruising droptop, right down to
its original V8 under the hood. And so it's amazing you can get
something this complete and well presented for such an affordable
price.
The Impala convertible has a long an iconic history, and this was
the end of the line. The Caprice droptop would solider on for a few
more years, but 1972 shut the door on the Impala ragtop. That's
probably why only 6,456 were produced 45 years ago, and how many do
you think are left in this kind of stellar condition today? The
factory-correct Ascot Blue has been treated to a professional
respray over its lifetime so that it still gives off a nice gloss
as you cruise all weekend long. The body panels retain the cresses
like a newly pressed suit, and the doors shut with confidence, so
you know there has been care in this car's lifetime. Brightwork is
a big deal with these '70s cruisers, and so 1972 is an important
year of distinction. The form-fitting bumpers make this classic
look fantastic, and they would be changed by federal regulation by
the next year. Add in the grille, headlight bezels, turbine-style
wheel covers with correct Chevrolet markings, and you've got a
fantastic factory-correct package.
Beneath the snug-fitting black folding top is a good-looking black
interior. The button-top seats offer full-size comfort, so you get
to take plenty of family and friends along for the ride. And when
you do, this one even has provisions for features like factory air
conditioning and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo. But even when
it's just you going for a solo cruise, this Impala provides. With a
dash that's oriented around the driver and plenty of wood paneling,
this has a great retro luxury atmosphere. And speaking of comfort,
the power windows and power convertible top mean you never have to
leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a
wind-in-your-hair experience.
Under the hood the numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8 presented in
an exceptionally original condition. This small-block was a larger
displacement option, which means this Impala has an extra helping
of power and torque to move the luxury Chevy with ease. You can
tell by the fresh belts & hoses, as well as the tidy overall setup,
that there has been the right care applied to the motor over the
years. And its smooth operation on the road reinforces this
feeling. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and front disc brakes, and this is a great cruising
package that needs nothing added, except you behind the wheel.
This is a head-turning V8 droptop with a story to tell. Hurry up
before someone else figures out they can pick up a rare and roomy
classic convertible for the price of a small family sedan. Call
