A guy down the street from me just backed this out of his garage with a "For Sale" sign in it -- I never even knew he had it! I haven't looked real close at it, but the thing seems to be in really nice shape! The only thing that jumped out at me was the crack in the dash pad and the fact that the rubber weather stripping around the doors looks to be in need of a re-do.
There are more photos of it in my gallery if you want to take a look!
A buddy of mine had a black on black 1966 with the 396 325 HP big block in it. It was a boat but it looked pretty cool. It was fully restored when he got his hands on it (in the late 80's) and needed to be fully restored again by the time he sold it about 10 years back.
Pretty good looking Chevy...hard to find a survivor like that! I loved the big Chevy's from the 60's...had a '62...'63 and a '70 all 2 dr htp Impala's. Buddy of mine had a rare '67 SS427 Impala that was bought new.
Great looking car... I have no idea as to value on something like that though...
I would say $14,000 for a turn-key collector car is very reasonable. Let's face it -- that's less than going out and buying a new econobox! It really is a nice looking vehicle and I would say it is in "very high driver" condition. You could purchase that car and immediately have a vehicle that would be fun to take for a cruise on a Saturday afternoon, and would hold its own if you wanted to enter it into any local car shows.
He just had the engine compartment detailed and the exterior is spotless. The only thing I don't like about it is that console he added in the front to hold his aftermarket stereo, but that could be easily removed. Personally, when I take one of my "toy cars" for a drive, I never listen to music, so the standard AM radio that came with the car would be just fine with me.
The one thing I don't know is how much body work it has had over the years. The car was originally sold in Connecticut, and from it's history it appears to have spent most of its life there until coming to Texas around 2009. From that you would guess that it probably had rust at some point in time, but I can't tell you for sure.
My 9-year-old wants me to buy it -- he thinks it's cool! I'm more of a "Ford guy" but love most American post-war automobiles. If it were a '68 instead of a '67 I would probably have already bought it -- the '68 has always been one of my favorite full size Chevy's from that era!
The 58, the first year of the Impala was the ugliest of all. They looked good after that up to 67, 68, 69, 70. Then starting in 71 they looked very nice again. I was a Chevy guy back then. I have owned a 56 Convertible V8 with 3 on a tree, 59 Impala coupe 283 230hp v8 manual 3 speed with OD, 65 Chevelle coupe 300hp 327 4 speed, 59 Impala 4dr hdtp, 69 SS396 Chevelle 4 speed, 71 Impala coupe with small block 400, 75 Impala SW, 82Firebird with 305 chevy V8, and an 86 Chevy Monte Carlos SS. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth when I think of anything government motors sells.
This was my '62 I got for my high school graduation...327 with a 3 speed on the floor. Dual exhaust with cutout's...chrome reverse wheels. Good looking Honduras maroon paint. This picture was taken in late 1965...wow almost 50 yrs ago!
