Description
Lot #521.1 - This bubbletop underwent a complete restoration in 2012. The body and frame were stripped down to bare metal and the frame was stiffened and braced. The Impala had virtually no rust before being torn down. It is powered by a loaded 454ci big block Chevy backed by a TH400 automatic transmission to get the power back to the Chevy rear end outfitted with 3.73 gears. The front end uses dropped spindles to get it down to pavement level coupled with air ride shocks. It has an Air Ride system, disc brakes in the front with upgraded disc brakes out back as well. It has a GM tilt steering column topped with a stock wheel. The stock-appearing interior has been re-stitched in two-tone sand and buff leather and new carpeting in a German box weave. Modern appointments include Vintage Air, Infinity stereo system, and aluminum dash insert, which was outfitted with Mooneyes gauges. There is also a Moon tach resting at the bottom of the dash just below the A-pillar.
