Vehicle Description
1970 Chevrolet Impala
Residing on the African Savannah and confronted with a threat, the
sleek, nimble, and fast Impala will take flight to outrun or
confuse its competitor. Aptly named, the Chevrolet version
introduced in 1958, continued to emulate its animal namesake
through years of design modifications, and power options made
available.
For consignment a Chevrolet Impala tangerine dream (along with some
burgundy to make it really trippy). A bagged, slightly shaved and
simplified low rider Impala from 1970. This skate is totally
customized with a big big block engine dipped in chrome, some
snazzy low profile wheels that allow for the smooth cruise. A Colt
45 and 2 Zig Zags, skatin' on Dayton rims..
Exterior
This large and in charge slab sided GM piece of Detroit iron, now
turned art form, actually skates on 18 inch on front and 20 inch on
back Raceline polished wheels wrapped in low profile radials. The
front of the car with its triple V design (one large one in the
center and single smalls on the sides) house dual headlights and a
horizontal ribbed simplified grille in between. The bumper shiny
and mirror-like, emulates the hood line, and another small grille
is below. Tangerine Orange paint covers the car to the just below
the belt line, then it gets even more interesting with a
delineation line in thin burgundy pinstripe, and a crackle painted
line in orange and white, then we can finally start the Burgundy.
An excellent wild color combo with an even wilder and cool border
between the two. Near perfecto-mundo chrome trimmings and
brite-work are on this car and are as new looking as can be.
Interior
So, roll roll roll the 70 Impala Cheveee...and indeed in style with
this rust colored brown leather on the door panels highlighted with
tuck and roll angled orange strips. The front buckets are brown
rust colored leather and are simply dope. Not a mark on them, and
they are surrounded by perfect plastic tubs on the bottom and
backs. The rear bench is just as nice and stretches from more
leather side panel to side panel. A custom console in rust brown
streaks up the center and houses a Hurst shifter with a leather
boot. To the dash where it has been stripped of all the analog
gauges and now shows all digital displays, and a new wood applique
strip which houses the AM/FM/CD radio. Just a beautiful job on the
dash. Also, more thick pile deep orange/rust carpet shows not a
mark on it and floods the floors. A tight broadcloth fuzzy
headliner hangs above and finishes off this interior in ultra-cool
style.
Drivetrain
Let's totally throw out the original grocery getter engine, paint
the engine bay more two-tone orange and burgundy, then dip a 502ci
monster that puts out 502 horsepower in chrome then gently place it
into the engine bay. Vrrrroom! Let's put a shiny single 4-barrel
Quickfuel carb on top and add a TH400 3-speed automatic tranny to
the back, and Main Street never came to such a stop with heads a
turning. Oh, and lest I forget some stainless headers and a
Flowmaster exhaust so not only will they see you they will hear you
too!!
Undercarriage
Just pure Suh-weetness underneath with a frame off resto, black
everywhere with no it a hint of rust, a 12-bolt rear, and that sexy
bagged suspension and power discs all around and we are in eye
candy heaven. A beautiful build underneath.
Drive-Ability
Fires up with a bang and move that shifter and you are buried into
the leather seats. The digital dash is way kewl, and all is in
perfect working condition. Ride is smooth as silk, and acceleration
is impressive. This is a large piece of iron you are rolling around
in, and it does so beautifully in turns and straights on our test
track.
Pure gangstah, but in a great way, this restomod takes a 1970
Impala and turns it onto a rolling work of street art. Excellent
colors, chrome dipped engine, and the bagged low profile wheels and
suspension and we have an awesome 1970 turn-key resto-mod
skate.
