1967 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - Rust Free Southern Car - Black on Black!
1967 Chevrolet Impala
1967 Chevrolet Impala Coupe
Up for auction here is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala coupe. As you can see from the photos, this is a very presentable Impala that turns heads everywhere it goes. The beauty of this vehicle is that it's nice enough you can take it anywhere and be proud to be seen in it, but it's not so perfect that you can't enjoy it. It's the perfect car for someone who actually wants to drive and enjoy their antique car. It has been owned and daily driven by the same owner for the last several years, during which time he has worked out all of the mechanical bugs that have come up, but now it needs a new home. In the sections below I have tried to give an honest and accurate representation of what you're getting for your money, but if you have questions about something I failed to address please send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Body:
The body on this Impala is in overall very good condition, showing no signs of previous collision damage or major repairs. It was repainted it's original color of black several years ago and while it's very presentable, the paint job isn't perfect. It's certainly not a $39.99 Earl Scheib special and it's not a $10,000 show quality job, it's what I'd call presentable driver quality. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so you should be able to see everything you need to get an accurate representation of the body condition from the photos below but, as always, please message me if there is something in particular that I haven't shown.
Interior:
The interior of this Impala is in overall very good condition as can be seen in the photos. The seats have been recovered with correct style covers in the last couple of years and everything else is in good condition. The worst thing I see in the interior is the arm rest pads are cracking and need to be recovered. Please study the photos below to get a good idea of the overall condition of the interior and message me if there is anything you would like to see in greater detail.
Mechanical:
The current owner has owned it for 5 or 6 years now and has done a good bit of both maintenance and improvements on the car. It has been converted to disc brakes front and rear, new 17" wheels and tires, new bushings in the front end and he's replaced the original 2 speed Powerglide with a 3 speed Turbo 350, but all the original parts he removed will be included in the sale. The original 327 engine runs strong and doesn't have any unusual noises that would indicate future problems. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hop in this car and head across the country tomorrow because the biggest thing it might need right now is possibly an oil change!
Other:
This car was sold new here in Huntsville, Alabama in December of 1966 by the Hill Chevrolet Company and it has remained in Huntsville all of it's life. The odometer shows just shy of 20,700 miles, which I assume to be 120,700 and have listed it as such. Below are photos of the odometer, VIN tag and original owner's manual. I also have the original sales invoice, build sheet and window sticker but was unable to get the digital file converted from a PDF into something that could be posted here, so please contact me if you would like the PDF emailed to you. If there is anything you would like to see that I've failed to show, please message me and I will do my best to get more photos for you.
Summary:
As I said at the beginning of this listing, if you're looking for an absolutely perfect 100 point car, this probably isn't the car for you. It's a nice car, a good solid car, and an excellent driver. It's had a few bumps and scrapes in it's life, but it's never been beaten, abused, cannibalized or cut up, and you'll likely have to look long and hard to find another one that runs and drives as well. There are absolutely zero issues with the car that will need to be addressed immediately, so you can buy it and begin enjoying it right away.
Please Note:
I've tried to be honest and thorough in my description but if you have any questions about anything that I missed, please shoot me a message through eBay and I'll get back to you ASAP. The car is available for inspection during the course of this auction to serious bidders (please, no tire kickers or test pilots) by appointment only.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of the auction end, with the balance due and payable in cash or certified funds at pickup before the car will be released. The car will need to be picked up within two weeks of the auction end unless other arrangements are made beforehand.
Also please note that vehicles in the state of Alabama were not titled before 1975 so this Impala is being sold with a Bill Of Sale and current Alabama registration only. If you will require further documentation in order to register this car in your state we will be happy to help accommodate your needs, but any costs incurred will be the responsibility of the buyer.
