Vehicle Description
1958 Chevy Impala Coupe (Resto Mod) - The Chevrolet Impala
originated as a sports coupe and made its debut at the 1956 General
Motors Motorama. The concept became a reality with Chevrolet
launching the Impala in 1958. The car was named after the African
antelope known for its speed, though I don't suppose GM had any
idea how far the Impala would eventually run. The production
between 1958 and 1996 amounted to 13 million cars, breaking all
production figures for a full-sized North American car. The
one-year-only 1958 Impala body style turned out to be a very bold
move on GM's behalf - it worked and lay the foundation for the
risk-taking direction they were prepared to go in developing cars
for the next decade. The chassis was a new design - longer and
wider - and the body had a reduced height of almost 127 millimetres
(five inches). It was very stylish with its quad headlights and
dripping in chrome, almost as much as the automaker's flagship
Cadillac. The styling of any '58 Impala is truly legendary. Combine
those early designs with the modern conveniences of todays
automobiles and the result is a unique vehicle that is an absolute
blast to drive. This resto mod Chevy Impala was carefully built to
ensure the end result was the best looking and best driving vehicle
on the road. The black exterior pairs perfectly with a custom red
and black interior with woodgrain accents. The heart of this build
starts with a new 6.2L LS3 crate motor that put out 518hp on the
dyno. This awesome powerplant is mated to a 4L60E Automatic
transmission with overdrive. Both have seen just under 5k miles
since completion. The engine is kept cool with a BeCool Aluminum
Radiator and the cabin is kept just right with the addition of a
Vintage Air/Heat system. Other mechanical upgrades on this build
include; Aomic MSD Ignition, Hotchkis Front & Rear Stabilizer Bars,
4 Wheel Disc Brakes, and a complete RideTech Air Ride system. The
interior has many custom touches which include; Custom Bucket
Seats, Tilt Steering, Custom Center Console w/ Autometer Gauges,
Kenwood Touchscreen Stereo w/ Bluetooth & Navigation, and a Digital
Tachometer. There is obviously way more money in this build than
our asking price and this is exactly how you want to buy a classic
vehicle. Let someone else spend months (or years) pouring crazy
money into a vehicle only to have to let it go for a fraction of
the investment. You definitely can't build this stunning '58
Impalas' twin for under $100k so call us today and let's check off
another item at the top of your bucket list!
