As far as the engines were concerned, the 1970 Chevrolet Impala came with a little something for everybody, as the GM brand decided to offer both economical options and powerful units for those in search of a different type of experience behind the wheel.
The lineup therefore comprised two standard engines, namely the 250 (4.1-liter) six-cylinder Turbo-Thrift with 155 horsepower and the 350 (5.7-liter) Turbo-Fire V8 with 250 horsepower.
The most popular unit on the 1970 Impala, however, was the 350 V8 generating 300 horsepower, as it offered a more balanced ratio of price and power. But at the same time, the Impala could also be ordered with a 400 (6.6-liter) V8 generating 265 horsepower (replacing the previous 396/6.5-liter option offered for model year 1969) or a 454 (7.4-liter) with either 345 or 390 horsepower.
The 454 V8 was specifically introduced to take the place of the 427 (7.0-liter) in the Impala lineup.
Judging by the photos published online by eBay seller i*find*u*flip, this 1970 Impala comes with a 350 under the hood, though very little has been shared about the engine. The owner claims the car isn’t currently running after sitting for years and they don’t know anything about the engine or the transmission.
They could even be locked up from sitting, they warn, and this is the reason the car comes with such a low price in the first place.
As for everything else on this Impala, there’s the typical rust, including on the frame and in the trunk. The floors will require some patches as well, but the good news is the car is mostly complete, and the only big thing that’s missing is the carburetor.
The original documents, including a dealership invoice and the owner’s manual, are still around, making this Impala quite a solid candidate for a full restoration.
And best of all, it’s quite cheap as well, as the Buy It Now price set for the auction is just $3,100.
