Correctly finished in code 917 Twilight Turquoise paint, it gives off a distinct sleeper vibe thanks to its contrasting Black power soft top and Blackwall tires on deep-dish painted steel wheels with dog dish hub caps. In contrast, the Black interior is typical Impala elegance, defined by button-tufted interior paneling and upholstery, a split-bench front seat, clean dash layout with all working gauges and accessories. The rebuilt 409 CI Turbo-Fire engine and 4-speed floor-shifted manual transmission are the highlights of a pristine engine compartment and chassis that are as clean as the rest of this impressive Impala Convertible.

It is offered with a custom car cover, Black convertible top boot and a set of four deluxe wheel covers.
