DESCRIPTION
This one is going to be easy, because it is about as nice as gets, and is 100% drive ready with nothing to do but enjoy it.
The car was completely disassembled, and everything on it was either restored, refurbished, replaced, or discarded to create the vehicle you see in the photos below.
The body is all steel, and LASER STRAIGHT, and shows it from every angle.Hood, trunk, and door gaps are good .
booth-sprayed finish in Burgandany red with detailed style lines, and except for a handful of minor areas where clear coat blemishes (does not show in pictures) it looks as good as the day it was sprayed!
Glossy, slick, and wet, the paint is ready for shows.
Glass is all in excellent condition, no discoloration, no fogging, and no laminate issues.
During the build, all new seals, weather stripping, moldings, and gaskets were used.
All of the chrome and bright work shows like brand new, because it either IS brand new, or it was sent out to be professionally chromed before installation. The stainless trim on the car was either replaced or completely refurbished and polished to perfection.
Door handles, mirrors, deck trim, tail lamp trim, hood trim and letters, and the grill are all in exceptional condition and were renewed or replaced during the build.
Overall the outside of the car is a solid and real 9 out of 10. They don’t come much nicer, cleaner, and straighter than this car.
Crack open the doors and you see an interior that is just as nice as the outside!
Door panels, rear panels, and kick panels are all original, and were completely refurbished along with the corresponding trim before being installed.
Carpeting is NOS replacement, and still shows like new.
Dash was completely redone in matching Roman Red, and looks amazing!
Rear suspension has a VAIR setup to raise and lower the rear of the car for varying loads.
Like the outside of the car, the interior is a solid 9 out of 10, and is really about as good as it gets.
Pop open the hood, and you are met by a clean, show-ready engine bay!
The motor is a fully rebuilt 355CI V8 motor that was assembled with longevity, ease of maintenance that looks great
It is painted in a matching red, and dressed with an polished / chrome intake topped by polished Edelbrock Performer carbs, and a chrome/ billet air cleaner that matches the chrome valve covers.
A chrome fuel pressure gauge gleams alongside the chrome alternator and brake boosters.
Headers, an assortment of other go-fast goodies, and the normal compliment of dress up items also reside under the hood, and the firewall and inner fenders are painted to match and finished to perfection as well.
The engine has a FANTASTIC exhaust note from the custom made dual exhaust system. The burble is crisp and clean, and it has a mellow cruising note that never gets too loud unless you open that throttle wide!
It runs incredibly cool, thanks to the modern aluminum radiator, high-flow water pump, and fan system.

Shifting is smooth and clean, with a mild shift kit and low rpm stall TH350.
All new shocks, mounts, bushings, bearings, seals, and lines were used, and a heavy-duty sway bar was installed as well.
Up front, brand new A-Arms with all corresponding hardware were installed, along with new shocks, springs, and slotted and front disc brakes.
Again, all new hardware, bushings, bearings, lines, and other goodies were used during the ground-up build, and still show incredibly well today.
Gas tank, fuel lines, and assorted hardware were all new during the build, as was all of the hardware used in reassembling the car. You will be hard-pressed to find another restoration and build on an Impala that is this complete and clean.

Reason for sale need $$ for down on a house, my loss your gain! It surpasses 99% of the Impala that are available right for this low starting price, looks like one of those $60-90K restorations at a fraction of that price!
