Chevrolet Impala was one of the most popular cars in the United States in the mid-'60s. The 1966 model built on the popularity of its direct predecessor, which had set a historical record in the country.
The ’65 Impala managed to surpass the 1 million sold units threshold for the very first time in Chevrolet’s home market, thus becoming the first car to reach this industry record.
So it goes without saying fourth-generation Impalas are collectibles many people drool over, especially when coming in an unmolested state.
And the one we have here promises to be that special Impala everybody is dreaming about, though as you can easily see in the photo gallery here, it’s not exactly in the mint condition you’d expect it to be.
Make no mistake, this is a project car, but if this is what you’re looking for, this ’66 Impala comes with a package you can rarely find these days.
First and foremost, it’s an all-original Impala, with eBay seller charam_3919 claiming the car is entirely unmolested, so everything is exactly as Chevrolet wanted it to be. While the condition of the car isn’t the best, this is something that doesn’t come as a big surprise, especially because this Impala has allegedly been sitting since 1976, so it hasn’t moved a single inch in 45 years.
The 396 engine under the hood is paired with a 4-speed transmission, but it’s no longer working. The numbers-matching powertrain, however, could be fixed, the owner says. Of course, you’re still recommended to take a close look under the hood prior to the purchase.
The seller says it’s all complete, and while all photos look like they’ve been shot with a potato (pretty much because they’re pics taken from a computer screen), everything sounds almost too good to be true. So if anything, handle this listing with extra caution and make sure you check all details thoroughly. The car is said to be available for physical inspection in Wisconsin.
The Impala has been published on eBay for a no-reserve auction, with the starting bid set at $4,500.
