Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe is one of the most
interesting mixes of survivor and upgrades you're going to find. It
has cool original pieces, like the V8 and paint. And that's joined
by modern pieces, like the wheels, thumpin' stereo, and cold A/C.
It makes for a total package that is both affordable and distinctly
attractive.
The 1970s were all about earthtones, so this Green Mist paint with
well-kept green vinyl roof is a great way to represent the era. And
more than just the right colors, this package shows all signs of
being all original. The paint is far from perfect, but that's not
what you want in a survivor. After all, there are a lot of us who
marvel at a look that proudly shows decades of history. So while
the price leaves room in the budget for a respray, a car is only
original once. The full-length trim and overall panel quality shows
off a car that has been treated with respect. But that's not the
only impression you get. There has also been an investment in
upgrades. The bumper has extra shine to go with the half-moon
headlights. And the 20-inch Coys alloys are a true modern way to
roll.
There's even more cool green inside. It's a factory-correct color
package that keeps its originality in plenty of places, including
the premium wood-like trim on the dash. But just like the exterior,
there has also been a nice investment in upgrades. Some areas are
subtle, like the newer carpeting and upholstery that keep a stock
look. Of course, that artful steering wheel on the tilt column is
an obvious and cool upgrade. Also, you could never get a cup holder
center console like this in the '70s. This also houses the AM/FM/XM
touchscreen head unit with modern Bluetooth. It's also your gateway
to the full custom stereo with a custom JL Audio subwoofer
enclosure in the trunk. The air conditioning is now blowing cold
with modern R134a refrigerant. So feel free to roll down all the
windows and crank up the music, even in the summertime.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. It has
the right original style everywhere you look, from the Quadrajet
four-barrel carburetor to the bold orange block radiating within
the dark engine bay. But once again, there are also the right
upgrades in this package, including an HEI ignition and a newer
Flowmaster dual exhaust. So it starts easily, runs nicely, and
makes a subtly sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. There are nice
driving features, like power steering, power brakes w/discs in
front, and the numbers-matching three-speed automatic transmission.
Plus, you have lowering springs and the extra grip of modern
ZR-rated tires.
Complete with owner's manual, this has been given a mix of proper
preservation and the right investments to be one of the most
interesting hardtops around. So if you want to cruise something
quite distinctive, and for an affordable price, call today!
