The fourth-generation Impala made its debut in 1965, eventually becoming one of the most successful car models in the United States.
For example, in the first year on the market, the fourth-gen Impala managed to set an all-time industry sales record, shipping no less than 1 million units in the United States alone. A year later, the convertible became the second-best-selling model of its kind in the country, with over 38,000 units leaving the factory in a single year.
The lineup now included several body styles, namely convertible, hardtop, sedan, and station wagon. Between 1965 and 1968, the station wagon was sold under the Impala nameplate, while in 1969 and 1970, Chevrolet decided to rename this particular version to Kingswood.
What we have here, however, is a 1966 Chevrolet Impala station wagon, though as you can easily tell by simply checking out the photos in the article, it’s not necessarily a model that comes in tip-top shape.
In fact, it’s close to becoming a rust bucket, and at some level, that kind of makes sense, especially because the car appears parked in a junkyard. An Impala rotting away in such a place is definitely bad news, but fortunately, the car is now seeking a new owner after eBay seller impalaboy530 has decided to list it online.
It’s hard to find something good about this Chevy, especially given its overall condition, but if you’re the kind who typically sees the glass half full, it’s worth mentioning there’s still a 327 (5.35L) unit under the hood. Little has been shared on it, however, so we don’t know if it’s the original engine or not. But on the other hand, it’s mated to an automatic transmission, and of course, it’s not running.
Other than that, this 327 is as mysterious as it gets, making it hard to tell if it can still be saved or not.
The car isn’t listed for auction but comes with a $2,500 fixed price tag. Given its current condition, that is certainly pretty ambitious, especially because a full restoration is the only option.
