Warning: 1969 Chevy Impala Is Closer to Your Heart Than It Appears

If you feel like this iteration deserves nothing but the best, then you may want to check out the pictured example. It is a 1969 model, a fine year that coincides with man first stepping foot on the Moon, and it's been nicely maintained throughout its lifetime.

Sure, it may not be as shiny as it was 55 years ago when it rolled off the assembly line, but it is still good enough to be worthy of cruising the roads on a sunny Sunday morning. It features a red finish, a power-operated black rag top, and rides on a set of classic wheels that were wrapped in fat tires. On the inside, it is mostly black, with only a few metal and wood accents providing some contrast.

Albeit not perfect, the underbody is good enough to last a few more years with minimal intervention. The same can be said about the rest of this 1969 Chevrolet Impala. However, perfectionists might want to breathe new life into it, and it would make for a good project car. Hopefully, its future owner will restore it to the original specification, as it doesn't deserve any modern-day amenities, save for perhaps a few interventions on the engine to make it more reliable and punchier.

Speaking of firepower, the fourth-generation Impala was offered with a multitude of V8s from 1964 to 1970, when it was made at different factories all over the United States (and not only). The offer was very vast and also included a straight-six, with the transmission options comprising both manual and automatic units. This one features the 327 ci, a 5.4-liter V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The engine is the original one, further contributing to this old-timer's select nature, which also has another special feature: hideaway headlamps.

A serious buyer would be interested in other stuff, too, like how many miles it has under its belt and how many people have owned it over the years. The answer to the former question is 107,742 miles (173,394 km), and the latter is unknown, as the vendor hasn't mentioned it. Still, you can find out by reaching out to them, and to do so, you will have to access the Garage Kept Motors ad here. Before doing so, we also have to tell you how much this classic Impala costs, and that would be $42,900.
