This Impala underwent a meticulous multi-year, body-off frame, nut-and-bolt restoration, emphasizing perfection in panel fit, gaps, and reveals. The result is a vehicle that not only embodies the spirit of its era but also incorporates modern enhancements for an unrivaled driving experience.

Exterior Highlights:
- Professionally applied Roman-Red/Snowcrest-White Glasurit paint achieves show quality brilliance, further enhanced by a Ceramic coating for enduring beauty.
- All bright work, including side-glass, has been restored, show polished, triple chrome plated, and hand-fitted to ensure precise alignment.
- It rides on Schott custom staggered billet wheels (18x8” front, 19x10” rear) wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport speed-rated radial tires, marrying classic aesthetics with modern performance.

Interior Highlights:
- The interior showcases Roman-Red dash panels, jambs, chrome, and stainless, complemented by Red Tri-Color OEM reproduction upholstery and Red/Blk speckled carpet.
- Vintage Air-Conditioning/Heat and custom-fabricated lower dash panel AC controls/vents blend seamlessly with the restored OEM factory instrumentation, ensuring all gauges and options are fully functional.
- The Custom Auto Sound radio OEM placement and the meticulously restored luggage compartment underline the vehicle's commitment to preserving originality while enhancing functionality.

Power-Train and Performance:
- Power comes from a Chevrolet 348 cubic inch V8, meticulously rebuilt with OEM-style Tri-Power carburetion, air filter assembly, fuel delivery system, radiator/shroud, and dual exhaust.
- Attention to detail extends to paint areas, panel fit, and overall show quality, with OEM-style wiring, hood padding, and hardware featuring black nylon washers to prevent paint damage.
- The introduction of a new/updated TH350 automatic transmission and factory rear differential assembly elevates the driving experience.

Chassis and Suspension:
- The original X-frame chassis and suspension components have been fully restored, with all underbody components media blasted, hand-prepped, and black powder-coated for a pristine finish.
- Modern enhancements include updated Power front Disc brakes, rear drum brakes, a modern dual-reservoir master cylinder, front gas shocks with rear air-load, and a treadle-vac style power brake assist for improved handling and safety.
