134099 / 1958 Chevrolet Impala

For more information on this vehicle visit If you’re looking for the hottest collector Chevy on the market, take a look at this blue chip Impala! Claiming this first class convertible is fresh out of a frame-off rebuild isn’t some overzealous overstatement. The car literally left the restoration shop in December of last year and probably hasn’t even seen enough sunlight to cure its smooth two-stage paint. Speaking of paint, the period-perfect basecoat/clearcoat your looking at is a sweet layer of GM code 914 Tropic Turquoise. Underneath that basecoat, the car’s slick body displays calculated build quality that’s much better than factory standards. That build quality is only achieved through a series of straight and ripple-free panels which aren’t plagued by any rust or major imperfections. Those straight and ripple-free panels result in well-adjusted doors that close solid, and bonnets that seat evenly. And ultimately, it all adds up to one show worthy cruiser that, thanks to its spectacular combination of color and trim, has an absolutely magnetic presence! Lift this Impala’s glossy turquoise hood and you’ll find a 348 cubic inch Super Turbo Thrust V8 that wears a 1958-exclusive 3751872 casting number and a June (F) 13th (13) of 1958 (58) casting date. At the top of the block, a satin black, dual-snorkel air cleaner funnels wind into a fully restored tri-power set up that includes three Rochester 2-barrel carburetors, a network of stainless fuel lines and a familiar glass sediment bowl. At the sides of the block, restored exhaust manifolds allow the oversquare cylinders ample breathing room by funneling spent gases into a new true dual exhaust system. At the back of the block, a traditional points distributor sends fire through fresh 7mm High Temperature plug wires. Cooling is provided by a correct radiator which sends water past correct squeeze clamps via brand new hoses. Charge comes courtesy of a Delco yellow cap battery that jolts a tagged Delco-Remy generator and a series of Delco Remy electrical components. And there’s even a fully restored Harrison air conditioning system that works as good as new! Behind the engine a two-speed Powerglide transmission, which is branded with a correct 3742349 casting number and a January (A) 28th (28) of 1958 (8) casting date, spins a correct GM rear end that literally sails the engine through its broad power band. Under that rock solid drivetrain, a completely rebuilt coil suspension is equipped with a factory power steering system that makes turns easy, and power drum brakes that successfully counter torque. And at the corners of the suspension, great looking 205/75R14 American Classic whitewalls frame deluxe factory spinners. In the 1950s, GM was the king of design. Period. And this Impala’s super cool GM code 807 tri-tone interior is one of the most beautiful cockpits ever mounted behind a motor. As fastidiously crafted as the car’s bodywork, the chrome-trimmed teal, silver and black bench seats are firm and extremely spacious. There’s a stylish 1958 Chevy dash that’s glossed in turquoise, trimmed in brushed aluminum and equipped with chrome-rimmed gauges, an optional Wonder Bar radio and a correct factory clock. And the centerpiece of this tailored environment is an expertly restored two-tone steering wheel which is cinched between a chrome Powerglide shifter, a bright horn ring and a classic Impala centerpiece. This pristine Chevy drop-top is absolutely off-the-charts in every measurable way! Call, click or visit for more information.
