Lot #778 - This custom 1958 Impala 2-door sport coupe was originally built in Oakland, CA, and was garaged, undriven, from 1978 to 2014, when it underwent a professional full frame-off restoration. The goal of the restoration was to maintain the original look of the car and to reuse as many of the original parts as possible, while adding technology and options not available in 1958. All the original chrome has been rechromed. The General Motors Connect & Cruise drivetrain features an LS3 6.2-liter Gen IV small-block V8 engine and a TREMEC T56 Super Magnum 6-speed manual transmission with a 26-spline input shaft and 31-spline output shaft. The exhaust system features custom fabricated 3" stainless-steel piping with a polished stainless-steel muffler. Fuel is supplies by a direct-fit stainless-steel gas tank with a 60psi fuel pump. The Revo Stage III chassis with rack & pinion steering includes Wilwood forged spindles, adjustable front AFCO coilovers, triangulated 4-bar rear suspension with non-adjustable rear AFCO Pro-Touring coilovers, Ford 9" rear housing serviceable control arm bushings, 4-bar end links, custom brake lines and rear 3.50-4.11 gear ratio with Truetrac posi-traction. Stopping power for the 18” Foose Nitrous wheels wrapped in Goodyear R Eagle tires is provided by 6-piston Wilwood front brakes with 14” rotors and 4-piston rear Wilwood brakes with 13” rotors. Interior options include 1964 Buick Wildcat front 6-way power heated bucket seats with lumbar support, 1964 Impala SS console, power windows, tinted glass, Vintage Air, keyless entry, AM/FM/CD player, custom SpeedHut gauge set and arm rest door safety lights. This custom Impala has been driven 10,726 miles since its completion.
