1969 Chevrolet Impala

For sale in our Chicago showroom is a very original 1969 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe. Every car has a story and this one is rather incredible. The original owner was left a Rambler when her husband passed away and didn't care much for it so in 1969 she drove to a local Chevrolet dealership to trade in that old Rambler on this beauty. She must have really appreciated this car because it received meticulous maintenance and care as she drove it over the next 9 years and accumulating only 29,000 miles as of 1978.

After being stored for next nearly 3 decades the car was again brought out to the light of day in 2006 and received some "sprucing" up to bring it to what you see here today. The car still retains approximately 70% of the original paint and the original brocade cloth interior and carpeting that look well preserved. The exhaust has been upgraded with 2 1/8" pipes and Flowmaster 40's mufflers so you can hear that 350 purr. In addition to the exhaust new shocks have been added and a new Classic Car Stereo replaced the old unit and features an input jack for all of your favorite tunes. B.F. Goodrich Redline tires have been added along with new wheels but the original wheels and tires are still available.

Under that long hood you will find a classic 350 Cubic Inch V8 that was rated at 300 Horsepower and gave this full size classic plenty of power to get up to highway speed. This car also came with the 350 turbo transmission that shifts very nice and smooth and will easily get this car cruising without hesitation. Options on this car include power steering, power brakes, seat belts, radial tires and working air-conditioning that has been converted to R134A. If you have been looking for an unmolested original car that will be reliable for many years and deliver driver comfort this one deserves a second look.
