But nearly 65 years later, they are very rare and modifications of this one make it a blast to drive. And it has all the best features for a driver's coupe, like a dual quad big block, four-on-the-floor, and the confident feeling of a nice older restoration that the bugs have been worked out. Ivory Paint is a high-quality application that's smooth to the touch... almost like a fresh snowfall with a frozen layer on top. In fact, this is well-presented right down to the details. The weather-stripping is pliable, the glass is clear, and headlights and taillights are clean. And we know you noticed the brightwork. It rivals the paint for shine with the wraparound bumpers. We especially like the delicate line that helps to show off the sharply-formed tailfins. It reminds you that stylists were kings in the 1950s. The factory-correct red interior almost looks like it's radiating from within this car, and so it begs people to come closer. And since a pillar-less hardtop gives everyone a clear view of the inside, you'll be glad that everything from the dash to carpeting looks so nice. Chrome garnish molding give a nice custom touch. Plus, the seats have a beautifully crisp style to the Impala's cool tri-tone cloth insert that breaks up the vibrant sea of red. This is a full-sized Chevy, and so it's no trouble to carry everyone in style and comfort. There's even a well-integrated AM/FM cassette radio so that you can give them driving music. Dash also has a complement of Auto Gauge under dash gauges and top of dash mount tachometer. But no matter how many people are along for the ride, you're going to love the sensation of getting in the driver's seat. It feels like a time warp as you grip the thin and artful steering wheel, and the Hurst floor shifter with hydraulic clutch lets you know you're in for a good time. The engine bay continues this car's ultra-clean and correct style. So you'll love opening the hood at every car show just to showcase the dual quad carburetors, chrome alternator, chrome fan shroud, aluminum radiator, chrome valve covers and air cleaners. It fires up eagerly and has a rumble that sounds like it means business and the dual exhaust with headers gives a nice loud tune with a lumpy camshaft. You get full control over this classic with the four-speed manual transmission. This one is built to be an all-around cruiser, and so they upgraded it in subtle ways. The front brakes are now modern discs, and the rear end is a cruisers 3:36 open. And those classic old school American Racing CP200 chrome wheels with radial blackwall tires set off the outside look. Plus, power steering, front disc brakes, and an overall confident driving feeling make this sharp classic an excellent cruiser. This is a tidy, distinct, and sought-after classic coupe. So when it also has been done to such a high standard, you know you need to take this one home. Call today!!!
