Description of 1959 Chevrolet Impala

Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 517-425-0129 for any questions. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

Purchased from local collector, belonged to his late aunt. Miles are said to be original and I suspect they are. Still retains what I believe to be the original interior and original floor covering. Not sure on the steering wheel originality, but it sure looks good. Lots done in the last 1000 miles to improve safety and reliability. Ive outlined below all the details, all in all a rar, head turning wagon with bullet proof reliability. Even has original dealer tag on tailgate.

Interior:
Largely original, original gray/blue cloth/ vinyl code 839. Still has original rubber floor mats in place, beautiful dash and gauges. Interior shows minimal wear but very nice. Perfect headliner, still has the GM clip on vanity mirror on passenger visor.

Exterior:
Older repaint to its original frost blue code 910. Still shows and shines well but has areas of past nicks and chips that have been touched up. No dents or dings. Original stainless and chrome still very presentable. Solid floors and spare tire well. Underside of driver rocker has had some repair, passenger side rocker is fine. Overall a solid example, very well preserved.

Drivetrain/ mechanical:
A lot of time and effort spent, professionally done, while not original, definitely an improvement in safety and reliability.

* complete power drum brake system, all new lines, new drums, pads, wheel cylinders, parking brake assy. Nothing left to chance, stops on a dime.
* converted to power steering with new column and steering box and power steering pump
* new radiator and thermostat
* everything works, gauges, heat, lights, etc.
* new white wall radials with matching spare. complete jack assy in place
* new shocks and springs
* complete front end component rebuild, drives and steers tight
* correctly installed dual exhaust with headers
* new drive shaft
* asst. body mount bushings replaced as needed
* new wiper motor

To summarize, a well preserved, somewhat unrestored collectable classic. perfectly suited as a reliable driver as is, still original in a lot of aspects. Great candidate for a full on restoration however, in my opinion, the originality is where the value lies. So leave it alone and enjoy it? Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call with further questions. 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by a licensed MI dealer.
