This 1966 Chevrolet Impala sport coupe was purchased by the current owner in 2015 after reportedly being restored by the previous owner between 2004 and 2006. The car is powered by a 327ci V8 mated to a 3-speed Turbo 350 automatic transmission, and it is finished in metallic blue over white vinyl. Features include REV wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, power steering, a modern retro-style radio, and air conditioning. This Impala is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Texas title.
Originally Artesian Turquoise, the car was repainted in metallic blue as part of the restoration in 2004-2006. Equipment includes dual side mirrors, bright trim, quad headlights, and chrome-finished bumpers.
The 18″ REV wheels are mounted with a mixed set of Windforce and Continental tires. The car is equipped with power steering as well as coil-spring suspension, and stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
Originally trimmed in turquoise cloth and vinyl, the seats and door panels have been reupholstered in white. The replacement carpets are blue, as are the seatbelts and steering wheel. Equipment includes air conditioning and a modern retro-style radio with an auxiliary connection.
The white and blue upholstery continues into the trunk.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles, though the total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 was factory rated at 275 horsepower.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 3-speed Turbo 350 automatic transmission.
