1974 Chevy Impala Sport Soupe "Spirit of America" Despite the 1973
OPEC Oil Embargo Chevrolet was still selling a lot of Americas
favorite family car the Impala. Like most of the USA GM and Chevy
were gearing up for the Bicentennial in 1976. Not wanting to miss
out on all the patriotic fever Chevrolet introduced their "Spirit
of America" models for 1974. You could purchase three Spirit of
America models. The Vega, Nova and the top-of-the-line Impala. If
you opted for the extra cash to be patriotic and purchase the
Spirit of America Impala you got a very special car. For the Top
Dog Impala your Sprit consisted of Glacier White paint, red, white
and blue stripes, full vinyl roof, special wheels and fender
skirts. The interior was finished in white vinyl with either red or
blue carpet. Special interior badges and colored keyed seat belts.
Your suspension was typical large barge American car of the era.
More like a boat than a car. Your Spirit of America Impala floated
like a butterfly. You could option your Spirit Impala to the hilt
was power everything. In most cases these cars came fully loaded.
This was quite the find. A 1974 Chevy, one of the three Spirit of
America models offered for a limited time in 1974. This
limited-edition Impala is an incredible example, 50 years old and
still shows as well as it did in the 70s! There were not many made.
Cant be many left especially in this condition. Check out the
interior which is original and still looks in new car condition.
All the inscriptions and badging to commemorate. The bicentennial
are all there, door trim panels, steering wheel, cushion, etc. The
Odometer reads 74,000 miles believed to be actual. Turnkey car as
well. Everything is operating as it should except for the radio.
Air conditioning has been converted and is ice cold and drives like
you would expect, the engine and transmission have been removed,
resealed and detailed, exhaust system is new. Heres an opportunity
on an example thats extremely rare
