For sale in our Chicago showroom is a very original 1969 Chevrolet
Impala Custom Coupe. Every car has a story and this one is rather
incredible. The original owner was left a Rambler when her husband
passed away and didn't care much for it so in 1969 she drove to a
local Chevrolet dealership to trade in that old Rambler on this
beauty. She must have really appreciated this car because it
received meticulous maintenance and care as she drove it over the
next 9 years and accumulated only 29,000 actual miles as of 1978.
After being stored for next nearly 3 decades the car was again
brought out to the light of day in 2006 and received some
"sprucing" up to bring it to what you see here today. The car still
retains approximately 70% of the original paint and the original
brocade cloth interior and carpeting that look well preserved. A
few custom touches were added, including Impala fender badges and a
pair of Nova SS-style hood vents. The exhaust has been upgraded
with 2 1/8" pipes and Flowmaster 40's mufflers so you can hear that
350 purr. In addition to the exhaust new shocks have been added and
a new Classic Car Stereo replaced the old unit and features an
input jack for all your favorite tunes. B.F. Goodrich Redline tires
have been added along with new wheels. Under that long hood you
will find a classic 350 Cubic Inch V8 that was rated at 300
Horsepower and gave this full-size classic plenty of power to get
up to highway speed. This car also came with the TH350 transmission
that shifts very nice and smooth and will easily get this car
cruising without hesitation. The Impala recently had some final
touches added, including the correct underhood stickers, as well as
belts and hoses. If you have been looking for an unmolested
original car that will be reliable for many years and deliver
driver comfort this one deserves a second look. Options include:
Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Cloth Interior, Power Brakes, Power
Steering, Radial Tires, Rally Wheels. For more information on this
