This incredible blue impala is a piece of American automotive history.
Chevrolet has produced thousands of America's favorite vintage performance models such as the Chevelle, Corvette, and Camaro. This was brought forth by decades of study and hard work in the field of high horsepower muscle cars and drag strip dominating beasts. One such vehicle that perfectly reflects the incredible performance that Chevy set out to create was the Chevrolet Impala. This was particularly prevalent in the case of the SuperSport models. These speed demons boasted the best technology for the time and stunning style with an instantly recognizable appearance from miles away. Without a doubt, the vast engine options, incredible horsepower, and torque figures allowed these beautiful cars to become now iconic in American car culture.
Of course, this car is absolutely no exception as it is a pristine example of one of those cars from 1969. This year, Chevrolet started picking up the pace in terms of both performance and design with the introduction of the new Chevelle. Under the hood of this fantastic car is a 427 ci Chevy V8, which produces 425 horsepower and carries the vehicle to unbelievable speeds. That powerhouse is connected to a Turbo Hydra-Matic, which sends power to the 3.31 Positraction rear differential.
The power-assisted brakes deal with handling, and the interior is laden with many other modern-ish accessories that many classic cars lack. These features include a factory AM radio and a cassette tape player, which shows that the vehicle is in its original state through and through. Unfortunately, only 546 cars of this type were produced in '69, making the car one of the last of its kind because many of those probably didn't survive as long as this reliable piece of American engineering has. So now, this vehicle is searching for a new owner to push the limits of performance once again.
