For Sale: 1970 Chevrolet Impala in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Vehicle Description

1970 Chevrolet Impala - 34k Original Miles - Black on Black - 350 V8 - Original Owner Protect-O-Plate and Title - Purchased New at Rohm Chevrolet in Auburn, Indiana (Please note: If you happen to be viewing this 1970 Chevrolet Impala on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 145 photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video, please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) The Best Big Car Of Its Time: 1970 Chevrolet Impala �€" TheTruthAboutCars website, January 2010 Respected automotive journalist, Paul Niedermeyer, in the referenced article noted: Let's start with the basic structure: 1970 was the last year of the perimeter-framed generation that started in 1965. By 1970, it benefited from what any car (usually) does after having been made for six years: build quality was the best. The Ford was a distant third, and the new fuselage Mopars felt a little short on development time, at least the first year '69 I drove. The Chevy was impeccably quiet, refined and smooth. Its engine started and ran smoother than the other two too. Chryslers, like our own '65 Coronet, were notorious stallers and ran rough in rainy weather until electronic ignition came along. The Fords didn't start as effortlessly. GM's Rochester carbs seemed to be better sorted out. Offered here is a 1970 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop Coupe in black over black. The car is an extremely low-mileage, beautifully maintained, and lightly upgraded example. Since being delivered new at Rohm Chevrolet in Auburn, Indiana, the car has traveled just 34,014 miles in all-remarkably fewer than 670 miles-per-year on average. The black exterior paint has been well maintained through the years and retains much of its original gloss. The inward-curved rear hardtop window is an especially pleasing aspect here. Chrome trim is complete and in near-showroom condition, with very light patina confined to the door handles. Both chrome bumpers incorporate lighting in their design-the side-marker lights and turn indicators in front, and the three separate taillights in back-and are especially well-kept (as is the front grille-and-headlight trim). Chrome headlight eyebrows (a period-correct appearance modification) have been added. Tasteful, original factory badging-including the script Chevrolet grille emblem with blue bowtie logo, 350 engine-designation emblems on the front fenders, script Impala emblems on the sail panel, and script Chevrolet trunk emblem-is all properly in place. Full-length body-side trim is undamaged. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and undamaged. American Racing® 15-inch, 5-spoke, chrome mag-style wheels are mounted with period-correct 265/70 red-stripe tires. Inside, the black color theme continues. Vertically pleated black vinyl upholstery covers the front split-bench and rear bench seat. The upholstery condition overall is excellent with a minor tear on the driver's outside seat bolster. Black carpeting in excellent condition covers the cabin floors with rubber protective mats at each seating location. Door trim uses the same black vinyl, but with a square-pattern insert and a single handsome woodgrain accent highlighting a chrome leaping-impala emblem. The same emblem adorns the woodgrain on the black steering wheel. Across the expansive dashboard, the condition of trim, control surfaces, and woodgrain is excellent. The shift-lever for the automatic transmission is mounted on the console, while the factory push-button AM radio remains mounted on the lower dash below an analog clock. The car's trunk is clean, tidy, and complete. Under the hood, the 350-cubic-inch Chevrolet V8 in its correct orange block p
