Back in the 1960s, Chevrolet’s Impala was selling like hotcakes in the United States. After setting a new record of 1 million shipped units in just a single year in 1965, it was now the convertible’s turn to reach an important milestone.
In 1966, the Impala became the second best-selling convertible in the United States, with over 38,000 units shipped to customers by December 31.
The ’66 Impala we have here provides us with a closer look at what made this convertible truly special, as the car comes in pretty good shape, ready to become someone’s new daily driver.
Unfortunately, essential information is missing, and the engine itself is one mysterious puzzle that buyers would have to solve.
For example, we know it’s an SS powered by a 327 (5.3L) unit and paired with a 4-speed transmission, but is it in tip-top shape? Is this the original engine that came with the car? Is it a matching number powertrain? What about the mileage? Has the engine ever been rebuilt?
These are all questions that don’t have answers, so if you’re interested in this Chevy and want to take it home, make sure you seek additional information from the owner.
Other than that, eBay seller mpipes1005 explains the car comes with a new top, and the paint looks good, with just a few exceptions, though some extra paint is also available should you want to fix them. We’re guessing the paint is no longer original, but that is something you’ll also have to confirm with the seller.
At the end of the day, this Impala certainly looks compelling, and this is the reason it has attracted over 20 bids in this eBay auction. The highest at the time of writing is $22,600, but the reserve is yet to be met. If you want to check out the car in person, you need to go to Missouri, United States.
