1958 Chevrolet Impala
2 Door Hardtop
This is a very nice 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop. This car is all original with the exception of the period correct, roll and pleated seats and door panels. She is powered by a 348 cu. in. V-8 with a four barrel carburator. This allows her to cruise effortlessly on the Interstate at 70MPH. The transmission is a matching automatic 2 speed powerglide which shifts smoothly. Both were rebuilt and installed in the car 3 years ago. Driven very few miles since (local car shows, cruise-ins and whenever the urge strikes). This girl really floats when driven at highway speeds.
To make driving a pleasure this car has power steering and power drum brakes. For those cold nights, she is equipped with a working heater and defrost. For those warm summer days, roll down the windows and step on the gas, no AC. This car was meant to drive with the windows down anyway.
All the gauges work well, (speedometer, temperature, gas). All the lights work including the interior dash and turn signal indicators. The clock does not work. To make cruising more pleasurable, a modern CD player has been installed behind the tissue dispenser under the dash.
The tires are wide whites and have a very nice set of original spinner wheel covers. An original bias ply tire, for show only, is in the very clean trunk.
The seats, carpet and headliner were recovered some time ago but show very well. As stated above, the seats and door panels were done in the roll and pleated style which really set off this car and make her stand out as unique.
The exterior is painted white and is also in very good condition. If you like chrome, this is the car for you. All the chrome is present and shines well. There are a few minor dents on the door guards on both sides. The bumpers, grill and side moldings are very nice as are the hood and trunk emblems. The rear roof molding could stand to be redone. The painted fender skirts show this girl's modesty.
The dual exhaust was replaced with the engine and transmission 3 years ago.
The glass is all present and some appears original. It is in pretty good shape overall. Minor chips in the windshield and minor scratches on the rear window.
The odometer reads 36,049 but is not correct. I do not know if it has rolled over. It was not reset when the new engine and transmission were installed. The odometer does work and may increase slightly as I continue to drive the car.
While not a show car, you will not find a better, more complete, more original driver. She takes her fair share of trophies a the local car shows.
I can be reached at (803)808-1919 or (803)260-0157. If you are truly interested, call and let's talk. I have described this car to the best of my ability. I encourage you to inspect the car or hire someone to do it for you prior to bidding. I will make the car available for your inspection during the auction. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000.00 is due through PayPal within 48 hours. The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle.
I am not offering shipping on this vehicle. However, I will work with the winning bidders shipper. My zip code is 29072 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.
Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
