Vehicle Description
We could tell you about the full size classic luxury that this 1970
Chevrolet Impala offers, but you're already mesmerized by the paint
and wheels. In fact, this is a very cool combination of the
original V8 and A/C interior with a cool take on the factory color.
It all creates a very intoxicating and affordable package.
Let's start with the most obvious part of the car, its spectacular
paintwork. It started out life as a Desert Sand coupe. That has a
great 1970s quality, but now the high-quality respray in a matte
finish gives it a touch of modern within the vintage style. And
while a classic American cruiser often got a vinyl top, this one
goes for uniqueness again, and shows off its distinct formal roof
line with glossy white paint. It makes for a thoughtful way to have
a unique classic. In fact, you can really tell they took extra time
with this one. The body panels look excellent; the chrome bumpers
are bright as they hug the body; and they paid attention to
details, like the dealer badge that's still on the trunk. And while
those polished 20-inch wheels are an obvious upgrade, they even
made sure that they were the classic American Racing Torq Thrust
alloys.
The interior remains exceptionally stock, which is a good thing.
After all, gold vinyl is a nice complement to the exterior paint.
But more than just color, this is a fantastic interior for its
level of preservation. It can look this good, because the low
odometer is believed to reflect the car's actual total mileage
(averaging under 725 miles annually.) The seats and door panels are
a time warp of golden goodness. So that premium button-top
presentation is an instant standout. It's hard not enjoy the
premium feeling of the that comes from the cool wood paneling
that's throughout the interior. And it has all the best vintage
pieces, from the extra wide speedometer to the Delco AM radio
that's still there for display. And the classic Chevy sports
steering wheel is a nice way to give you proper command of this
coupe. Best of all, as a full-size Impala, you can share all of
this with up to five family and friends, and factory air
conditioning (now blowing cold with R134a refrigerant) keeps
everyone comfortable.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8, which is
another testament of how nicely this car represents its era. The it
shows good preservation, right down to the Rochester Quadrajet
four-barrel carburetor. But it also has been maintained properly,
including newer pieces like the alternator, hoses, belts, and brake
master cylinder. The V8 starts right up, and keeps its luxury
demeanor with a powerful but restrained exhaust note. More than
just the factory motor, this has the numbers-matching three-speed
automatic transmission and date-correct 12-bolt rear end. This is
Chevrolet's personal luxury statement, and so you get great driving
features such as power steering, power brakes, front discs, and
grippy performance tires afforded by the wheel upgrade.
You fell in love with the look of this Impala before you even
before you saw the preservation or the value price. That's why we
know it will be going to a new home soon. If you want it to be
yours, hurry up and call today!
