Say what you want about the 1970 Impala, but nobody can ignore an example that’s still entirely original and comes with everything in pretty good shape, all without ever going through a restoration process.
Because this is exactly the case of the 1970 Impala that we have here, and which has allegedly been sitting for many years in storage.
And while no evidence has been offered on the storage bit, it makes a lot of sense, as the car still looks impressive after all these years, with the original paint job from the factory still there. Of course, it shows its age, but aside from a few minor scrapes, it seems to be in fairly good shape, especially given it’s a 51-year-old car.
Everything on this Impala is as original as it gets, and eBay seller wolf-power-currency claims that even the tires are the ones that came with the car when it left the factory.
The VIN code confirms the Impala was born in 1970, and the seller says it has long been a one-owner car until they bought it recently. It came from Pennsylvania, though it has always been stored inside.
The engine under the hood is a 350 (5.7-liter) V8 paired with an automatic transmission, and of course, it’s running just right. This isn’t necessarily a surprise given everything is in a pretty good condition, but of course, a visual inspection is still recommended to figure out if any fixes are needed or not.
The mileage is surprising as well, as the odometer indicates just close to 27,000 original miles (43,500 km).
But overall, this 1970 Impala looks like it wouldn’t require any massive restoration work, and given everything is still unmolested, it makes for a pretty solid candidate for someone who wants to park it into their own collection.
The eBay auction is still under way, and while the top bid is currently a little over $7,000, the reserve is yet to be met. It remains to be seen how expensive it ends up becoming but expect this Impala to end up selling for a small fortune given how good it looks even after all these years.
