COOLEST SLEEPER ON THE ROAD, ZZ3 383/425 HP V8, BUILT TH350, 4.10, CUSTOM DUALS!

1978 Chevrolet Impala

This 1978 Chevrolet Impala Aerocoupe is a sleeper done right! Starting with an ultra-clean 2-door post coupe and adding plenty of horsepower is a great way to deliver luxury and performance all in one package. And the fact that it looks so subtle, o unassuming, ell, hat's the best way to prowl the streets. This is one heck of a car!The burgundy paint was freshened in the 1980s and has a very authentic look overall. The sheetmetal underneath is remarkably clean and if you were around in the 1980s, hen you remember when these cars were everywhere. Not many survived and even fewer are this nice, ith excellent gaps, hood that fits tightly, nd a trunk lid that doesn't need a huge slam to close, ll signs of a car that hasn't been neglected or abused. There's just the right amount of gloss in the paint so it can almost pass for original, nd the color us subtle enough to not attract too much attention when you're cruising. They were smart and kept it completely stock, o no graphics or other modifications; heck, here's not even a pinstripe! The 2-door post coupe with a steel roof is probably the right car for this kind of transformation, nd it's a base model, ecause there's no hood ornament, o side trim, ot even any rocker trim, aking it look clean but not too flashy. Yeah, his is how you build a sleeper!The interior is completely original and shockingly clean. Yes, hey kept the bench seat, hich is all part of the sleeper code of conduct. Familiar red mouse fur upholstery was a GM staple back when this car was built, nd the term "full sized comfort" was coined for vehicles just like this. The door panels are sharp, he dash isn't cracked, nd even the headliner remains taut and firmly affixed to the roof (they were notorious for drooping). With more than a passing glance, ou'll notice the tach on the steering column, nd maybe the auxiliary gauges underneath, ut for most folks on the street, his car won't raise any eyebrows. The factory gauges are bright and crisp and this is indeed a base model, ith manual windows, factory AM/FM radio, nd a column shifter. However, t does have a tilt column, hich is kind of a neat find in a car like this. The trunk is neatly finished with a full-sized spare with matching redline radial plus the relocated battery.Under the giant hood you'll find a ZZ383 crate motor, ith 383 cubic inches and 425 horsepower on tap. It fits like it was born there, lthough everyone will know when they see it that this is no stocker. It's got a high-rise intake, big Holley carburetor, nd just about everything you see is brand new. Long-tube headers feed a custom dual exhaust system that's quiet enough to maintain the illusion but barks just the way you'd want it to on the roll. Better yet, t's been painted black to help it disappear. It's backed by a built TH350 3-speed automatic feeding 4.10 gears with Moser 30-spline axles, o there's no denying what this car's mission might be. The entire suspension has been upgraded with fat sway bars and a lot of new parts, nd an upgraded Wilwood brake master cylinder handles the stopping. Painted steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps and BFGoodrich redline radials finish the sleeper look perfectly.This is an insanely cool car. It's cool because it's so nicely preserved and it's cool because it's a predator. Complete with a reproduction window sticker and restoration receipts, t definitely won't last very long. Call now!
