Stock #: 3820-DFW Exterior Color: Tropic Turquoise Interior Color: Fawn Body Type: Convertible Transmission: 3 speed automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 396 V8 Title Condition: Clear This 1966 Chevrolet Impala convertible is one of those cars where the more you look, the more impressive it becomes. How impressive? How about a dialed-in 396 big block V8 under the hood? How about a thorough restoration to original specs with an unusual yet killer color combination? How about a solid set of options? Yeah, it just keeps getting cooler.

We'll get to the powerful 396 V8 in a moment, but is there any car that better qualifies for the term "sleeper" than this big green ragtop? Luxurious, sure, but nobody's going to expect all those thundering horses under the hood, and that was probably the original owner's intention. The Tropic Turquoise paint was refinished with the rest of the car not long ago and while it's a bit unusual, the shine is spectacular and the metal underneath is very straight, which is highly impressive on a droptop with this much real estate. As a life-long car of leisure, this wasn't some ragged out ragtop before it was restored, and the quality of the work is visible everywhere you look on this lovely car. Gaps are tight, the panels line up as they should, and details are sharp, all hallmarks of craftsmen who excel at their work. The big chrome grille and matching bumpers shine bright up against the green finish and except for the crossed flag emblems on the front fenders, it doesn't do much advertising that it's one of the baddest of the bad when it comes to full-sized luxury.

Like they say, if the green is for the money, well, the gold is for the honey. One of the car's more unusual aspects is the Fawn gold interior, which is original spec code 859 according to the cowl tag. Like most long convertibles, it's a bench seat car with a column-shifted automatic transmission, which emphasizes this Impala's cruiser roots. As well-restored as the rest of the car, the interior is eyeball-popping at first glance and delightful in the details. Correct materials and patterns are on the seats, door panels, and carpets, and the factory gauges are still in place, augmented with a trio of aftermarket units underneath to help keep an eye on the engine's vitals. Options include Power steering and power brakes, and power windows, but the best option of all may be the factory A/C, although it will need some service to get it back to tip-top shape. It also carries a relatively rare factory AM/FM radio in the dash, but unfortunately, it too is not currently in working order. The power convertible top is a vinyl unit in good shape and the color works great with the Tropic Turquoise finish and Fawn interior.

But the real reason this car is such a killer find is under the hood, where it carries a ready-to-go torque monster 396 V8. With good horsepower and strong pull for this big Impala, it makes this full-sized ragtop move like a welterweight Camaro. Presented pretty much just like it would've been in 1965, it features a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor atop a factory style intake, and the black snorkeled air cleaner that sits atop the Chevy Orange block looks just right. This car keeps its low profile only until you turn the key. Stock exhaust manifolds feed the dual exhaust that barks through factory replacement mufflers in such a way as to warn pretenders that they shouldn't even try. As long as you're looking around underneath, take a moment to admire the nicely detailed floors and chassis, and powder coated factory-style wheels with Rally wheel covers and 225/70/14 white-letter Goodyear Eagle radials.

Documented with restoration photos, maintenance records, original owner's manuals, and an original warranty card, this is one of those cars that makes everyone do a double-take when it cruises down the thoroughfare. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
