PERHAPS THE MOST ORIGINAL

1964 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

in existence!

This is a very low mileage (55,000) classic. It was bought from the original owners who babied the car. It has ALWAYS been garaged, and meticulously maintained.  It is original down to the convertible top. Yes, that's correct, it still has the original top that came on it in 1964!! WOW! The color is the "rare" Laurel green and the original paint is in very good condition. The body is straight as a board with no dents, dings, or ripples. It is absolutely unbelievable. Everything is intact and everything works perfectly. There is no pitting on the chrome whatsoever, no glass separation, and has nearly flawless moldings. This car came equipped with power top, power brakes, power steering, 283 V8 (2 barrel), padded dash, windshield squirters, and Chevrolet visor mirror with comb holder. Now for the interior, Once again all original. All of the windows roll up and down with ease. The front or rear seats have NEVER been sat on the original material. It still has the clear plastic seat covers on it from day 1! It also has the ORIGINAL boot cover inside the bag and has NEVER been installed. The boot cover still looks brand new and matches the interior. Inside the trunk is absolutely clean clean clean. The original spare is mounted with the original bumper jack and flare.

This car deserves to be preserved as a "survivor" in AACA, or CCCA
 
The goal for the summer of 2001 is to qualify the car for the AACA Historic Preservation (HPOF) award.

$18,500.00

We will converse with restoration shops and AACA judges to get advice on the tricky decisions of what gets restored and what stays as is. This is significant to the hobby and its approach to "Survivor" vehicles as these cars and their individual components can never be returned to original condition once restored. On the other hand, the cars deserve to look as good as they can, and some level of "bringing the car back to original" is appropriate.

This should provide for an interesting forum ! !
