There are countless Chevrolet Impalas for sale on the World Wide Web at any given moment, and if you are like us, then you probably have a favorite.
No true gearhead will ever judge you if it is one of the first generations with their drop-dead gorgeous looks or if you go for a more modern one. After all, the bowtie brand pulled the plug on it after the tenth generation, which came out until the 2020 model year in the United States and north of the border.

Some say the final Impala was a mere shadow of its predecessors, and from a design perspective, we totally get that. However, choosing a more modern copy would save you the hassle of things constantly breaking down, and it would be a more suitable car to use as a daily.

Then again, a classic example would always be far more appealing, and if the pre-donk era fourth-gen is the one that instantly comes to mind when thinking of the Impala, then we found one that might be worth your attention. It is a 1970 model that needs a little TLC in order to shine more, but overall, it looks ready to embark on an adventure to your driveway.

The exterior paint finish is a light shade of green. It comes with the usual chrome appointments and uses a pair of five-spoke alloys wrapped in tires that seem to still have a lot of meat on them. Green was also the color of choice on the inside and can be seen on the front and rear seats, carpets, dashboard, steering wheel, and other components.

This '70 Impala appears to be an all-original car, meaning that you won't get any modern amenities. The 'but' comes here, as the ad speaks about upgraded disc brakes on the front axle. As for the firepower, it is a 350 V8, a 5.7-liter unit offered with different outputs throughout the life of the fourth generation, pumping out as much as 300 horses on the top flavors of the car back in the day. An automatic transmission delivers the power to the rear wheels.

Curious about the mileage? That would be 114,617 miles (184,458 km) at the time of cataloging, so it has seen some action over the years. If you want to make it yours, then you will have to click this link, which will take you to the Garage Kept Motors ad. The listing reveals a $22,900 asking price and has more images of this old-timer that's ready to hit the road again under new ownership.
