Chevrolet's first use of the Impala name dates back to 1956 when they introduced a concept car with Corvette-like design cues. Two years later, the first-gen Impala rolled out and started making history. The model was continuously refreshed until 1985, and nine years later, the bowtie brand gave it another shot with the seventh generation.
After a four-year hiatus, the eighth-gen came out in 2000, replaced in 2006 by the ninth-gen, and the tenth and final one was introduced for the 2014 model year and remained in production until 2020. The Impala was one of the most popular American cars in the segment over the years, yet since Chevy's plans started shifting towards crossovers, SUVs, and trucks, as well as electric vehicles, it was dropped altogether.
Some still wonder what a modern-day Chevrolet Impala would look like, preferably built on a rear-wheel drive platform, with a serious V8 power unit under the hood and some design cues inspired by some of its iconic predecessors. But the truth is that we will never know, as GM is not that interested in low-slung models anymore. Nonetheless, that does not mean that you cannot still enjoy a nice Impala, and depending on how much money you have in the bank, you could settle for one that costs an arm and a leg or a more decently priced copy for about the price of a new Chevy crossover.
1964 was a good model year for the Chevrolet Impala, and that is when the pictured copy was made. It features a blue exterior with a white roof and a blue interior and uses the 327 ci V8 engine. The 5.4-liter unit was one of the numerous V8s offered for the third generation, which also came with a pair of straight-six lumps. Offered in two versions, with 250 and 300 brake horsepower, it is connected to an automatic transmission here. The car has 6,595 miles (10,614 km) under its belt, and as you already know, it is looking for a new home. Its next owner will have to pay $34,900 for it, which is about as much as the MSRP of a new Chevrolet Blazer, and besides the car, they will also get the maintenance records.
Unfortunately, this is where the information provided by Garage Kept Motors in their ad here ends. However, a multitude of images accompanies the listing, revealing that this old-timer is in good shape all around. In fact, all it needs is a new name on the dotted line and the same person behind the wheel. The question is, are you that person? And if so, would you keep this gorgeous Chevy Impala all original, or would you give it a few upgrades?
