Chevrolet Impala Convertible 350 V8 1969
General description :
Description
We love a classic like this 1969 Chevrolet Impala convertible. After all, few cars combined full-sized comfort, V8 power, and drop-top fun. That's why we always pay attention to compete and distinct examples like this one.
The '69 Impala seems like where it all came together. It was the ideal mix of well-creased lines while still delivering some Coke bottle curves in the fenders. And bumper design was at its height. The front one encircles the whole front end like a muscle car, and in the rear, it's an integral part of the design while also incorporating the Impala's hallmark triple taillight arrangement. So this car has plenty of distinction even before you see the red convertible top against the silver paint. There is room for improvement in the overall presentation. However, when a full-size classic convertible is this clean and complete, right down to the Rally wheels, it's already quite impressive - especially at this price.
The power convertible top makes it easy to switch between enclosed motoring and a wind-in-your-hair experience. And the red interior means you get the same outstanding color combo with the roof on or off. Two rows of seats in this full-size classic offer plenty of room to spread out. The red was an update later in life, and so the seats, door panels, and carpeting have a particularly well-done look. But this also still has the best features present for a good cruiser. For example, the dual spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, there's plenty of classic wood-like trim, and all the controls are laid out in a driver-oriented fashion. This was even a factory air conditioning convertible (it will need servicing to return the functionality.)
The fender callouts say 327 because that was the popular small block of the time, but there's a bit of a secret under the hood. While the engine bay has a very stock look, it actually contains a larger and younger 350 cubic-inch V8. The motor inhales deeply with an upgraded Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet sound generated through the dual exhaust. A premium Chevy convertible like this was built for cruising, so you'll enjoy features like the Powerglide automatic transmission, and power steering.
This is the kind of distinct drop-top you get to enjoy today, and it leaves room in the budget so you can plan for all the improvements that give it your personal touch. So if you love a distinct classic at a value price, don't miss this deal. Call now!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
