Equipment
283/180hp, Powerglide, wheel covers, whitewalls, bench seat, factory radio, rear seat speaker, power steering, power brakes.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as matching numbers. Dull, scratched chrome and trim. Pitting on the front fender spears. Pitting on the window frames and door handles as well. Scratched rear Chevrolet badge. Dry weather stripping. Surprisingly good interior with what looks like a brand new dash. Older restored underneath with road dirt and tired-looking exhaust. Represented with a “comprehensive restoration,” but it either wasn’t that comprehensive or it happened a long time ago.
Market commentary
Or both? This is a generous price for any '59 Impala hardtop and particularly for a base 2-barrel with Powerglide in this aged and superficially restored condition. For this much money the new owner should at least have gotten a 348 under the hood.
