The fourth-generation Impala has a well-deserved place in automotive history books because it included the very first car that managed to sell over 1 million units in a year in the United States alone.
It was the 1965 Impala, a model that also introduced several styling improvements that were eventually further polished with the release of new versions until the production of the fourth generation was dropped in 1970.
The 1967 Impala is part of this series, coming not only with the said styling touches but also with new safety upgrades supposed to let the car meet the new regulations in the United States. In other words, the Chevy was now equipped with fully collapsible energy-absorbing steering columns, shoulder belts on all models except for convertibles, and side marker lights.
But of course, if you browse the gallery here to check out the Impala we’re highlighting today, none of these details matter, as whoever owned this car before likely didn’t care about the legacy of such an impressive automotive icon.
So this 1967 Impala eventually became a genuine rust bucket that will be quite a challenge to restore, especially because it comes with gigantic holes in the floors and lacks nearly everything.
As eBay seller duane1960 explains, this is nothing but a roller, so if you were hoping to at least get an engine or transmission, that’s not going to happen this time. If anything, this Impala was born as a 396 four-speed car, but it has now become the relic you can see here.
While it’s also missing the interior and the rust has turned it into a big pile of useless metal, we can only hope someone sees it and eventually decides to give it a second chance. Unfortunately, it’s pretty clear the current condition of the car makes it quite a hard sell, despite the auction starting at just $1,500, with not a single bid received so far.
For what it’s worth, it costs less than iPhone, as a maxed-out 12 Pro Max with Apple Care+ included can be yours for $1,668 in the United States.
