58 IMPALA READY TO CRUISE W/ A CRATE 350 V8, TH350 TRANS, A/C, PS, PB W/ FR DISC

Chevy's 1958 Impala was a landmark automobile, nd the one-year-only design seems to have finally found its place among the most sought-after cars of the 1950s. This one isn't strictly stock, ut it has the right look, nd with a smooth-running 350, great color combination, nd a few subtle custom touches, t manages to stand out without erasing everything that was great about the original look.The long, ow shape of the '58 Impala is easy to recognize, nd this one still wears its Bowtie look with pride. But on closer inspection, ou'll find a car that has been tastefully upgraded in the early '60s style, iving it a look that's just a little bit different. Of course, he handsome chocolate brown paint helps and it's quite nicely done, o you will be eager to get it out to shows. The bodywork underneath is equally nice, nd like all dark colors, his really is the most important part of the job, o they seem to have really spent the extra time to get it right. Gaps are very good and aside from a few polishing marks, t looks very, ery fresh. None of the original stainless trim was removed, o it has that big, lashy chrome '50s look, lthough the front grille has been replaced with a smooth tubular setup that gives the big Imp an entirely different look. It also carries a set of teardrop spots and clear headlight lenses, hich are subtle details that make a big impact.Working in conjunction with the brown paint, he two-tone tan and cream leather interior has a correct look that's just a little different, uch like the exterior. The pleated inserts are comfortable and the sophisticated look works especially well with all the bright trim work inside the car. The original steering wheel has a matching tan leather wrap, ut the wheel itself is unmodified and it frames the original dashboard, omplete with the wide speedometer and dual temperature and fuel gauges. An under-dash A/C system is a welcome addition, s is the AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit, nd there's a slick B&M shifter on the transmission tunnel for managing the upgraded TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. Full-sized comfort really means something in the spacious back seat, hich is set up like a pair of buckets, nd the giant trunk is well-upholstered with brown carpets that give it a finished look.The top engine in 1958 was a 348, ut this one goes two cubes better by being a 350 cubic inch V8. Beautifully detailed, t really sparkles in the big Imp's engine bay. Edelbrock supplied the intake manifold, arburetor, nd air cleaner, nd with Chevy Orange paint on the block, here's no mistaking this for anything else. A big aluminum radiator up front keeps everything nice and cool, ven on the hottest days, nd all the accessories are new, ncluding the alternator and A/C compressor, hich uses R134a refrigerant. The transmission is the aforementioned TH350 3-speed unit, hich is a nice improvement over the original PowerGlide 2-speed, nd it feeds what appears to be the original rear end. A newer exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers sounds '50s perfect and the stance is exactly right. 205/70/14 whitewall radials on steel wheels with hubcaps are surprisingly low-key on such a flashy car, nd the look totally works.There's a great deal of time and money invested in this handsome Impala, nd it offers all the upgrades that you'd want in a car built to cruise.
