"Impala was the most popular of the 1969 Chevrolet full size models
and second in rank only to Caprice, which was the top of the line.
However Impala was by far more popular and sales for the number 2
model line drastically exceeded Caprice. More than one million full
sized Impalas were produced in 1969 with five body styles to choose
from. 1969chevy.com
For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet Impala Custom coupe with a title
verified 163,061 actual miles. This car has its numbers matching
350ci under the hood, its original vinyl top, and original
interior.
Exterior
This Wilmington, Delaware built Impala is bathed in its original
color, here in two stage application of Olympic Gold and looking
very athletic in its 18-inch Rev wheels wrapped in low profile 45
series, ZR rated tires in staggered width and with an early 2021
date code. Black side body molding is a nice complement to the
black vinyl roof which hugs the curved rear window cleanly and
retains its scripted Impala badging. Things are super interesting
out back where the decklid contains body lines that form a center
valley that tapers to blend with the back of the lid and the chrome
bumper is embedded nearly end to end with triple tail light design
that is unmistakable. Up front, the wrap-around bumper surrounds
the dual headlights that sit in front of the grille design and side
markers are positioned on the front and rear fenders. Paint and
trim is fantastic and we could find no glaring imperfections.
Interior
Gold on gold! Here we have vinyl door panels with simulated wood
inserts and subtle, silver trim with just a touch of patina. The
split bench seat in front and full bench in back combine vinyl and
cloth and only the driver's side shows any wear at all, and it's
minor. The sidewalls in the back and package shelf have also been
nicely preserved. So '69 is the gold steering wheel and its faux
maple filler with column shift and horizontal dashboard ahead, also
touched by wood in the black plastic base, and having all
essentials in the viewshed of the driver, including the
AM/FM/Cassette player of a more modern vintage. Gold twist style
carpet with Impala branded carpeted mats presents well, as does the
headliner. We note a few scratches on the glove box, while the
trunk is barren and has a vinyl cover.
Drivetrain
Here we have the numbers matching 350ci V8, rated at 255 horsepower
and looking very original and driven, fueled by a Rochester
Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. Behind it, a TH350 3-speed automatic
sends power to the 12 bolt axle with 2.73 gears.
Undercarriage
Clean, dry and original looking, the underside sports dual exhaust
with mufflers that stand out from the patina'd surfaces, and this
Flow FX by Flowmaster unites lead to twin tips out back. Drum
brakes are found at all four wheels and suspension is configured as
front coil springs and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar
out back.
Drive-Ability
Excuse us while we travel back to 1969, a tumultuous time in the
country but things were swinging at Chevrolet as the Impala became
one of the most popular cars on the road. This 350 could tell some
tales, and the short story it shares with us on the test loop
proves to be a smooth one, with straight tracking and better than
new handling thanks to the tire and wheel set up. With the
exception of the clock, all functions afforded the driver and car
operate as they should and it's time to subject this '69 to some
21st century marketing to find a new owner. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
Americans have a soft spot for these full sized Chevrolets and our
record of finding new caretakers for these models proves that out.
They sell often and they sell fast. This is a well preserved
example with great paint, a clean original interior, and set of
wheels that make it an instant head turner.
