If you're in the market for a tailored classic that wraps limitless appeal in exoteric style, welcome to the large and diverse family called Impala!

Much more impressive than when it originally rolled down St. Louis's storied assembly lines, this well-done Chevy drop-top has been transformed into a take-no-prisoners weekender that consistently headlines cruise nights. You won't be staying under the radar with its professionally finished Rio Red paintwork, which has been correctly applied over a very clean body. There are no obvious signs of wholesale panel replacement, suggesting this has been a straight, rust-free shell its entire life. And not surprisingly, the car's fit and finish is almost good enough to turn reflections into reality.

Lift this Chevy's bright red hood and you'll find a 348 cubic inch Super Turbo Thrust V8 that's fully sorted and ready to cruise. A staple of working-class luxury, this top-of-the-line, 280 horsepower big block is one of the many reasons the Impala model enjoys such fantastic name recognition. And absolutely every item, from its thick coat of Chevy Orange paint to its unique bowtie branded valve covers, has at one point been rebuilt, refinished or replaced. At the top of the bright block, a satin black, dual-snorkel air cleaner funnels wind into a fully restored tri-power set up that includes three Rochester 2-barrel carburetors and a network of stainless fuel lines. At the sides of the block, restored exhaust manifolds allow the oversquare cylinders ample breathing room by funneling spent gases into a correct, true-dual exhaust system. At the back of the block, a traditional points distributor sends fire through fresh AC Delco 7mm Premium Wires. Cooling is provided by a tagged radiator which sends water past correct squeeze clamps via reproduction GM hoses. Charge comes courtesy of a Delco yellow cap battery that jolts a tagged Delco-Remy generator and a series of Delco-Remy electrical components. And there's even a fully restored Harrison air conditioning system that works as good as new!

Behind that big mill, an optional 3-speed Turboglide transmission spins a correct GM posi-traction rear end that literally sails the engine through its broad power band. Under that capable drivetrain, a completely rebuilt coil suspension is equipped with factory power steering that makes turns easy and big power drum brakes which successfully counter torque. And at the corners of the floors, great looking 8.00-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls frame deluxe factory spinners.

In the 1950s, GM was the king of design. Period. And this Impala's correct code 855 tri-tone interior is one of the most beautiful cockpits ever mounted behind a motor. As fastidiously crafted as the car's bodywork, the power red, silver and black bench seats are firm and extremely spacious. There's a stylish 1958 Chevy dash that's based in red, trimmed in brushed aluminum and equipped with chrome-rimmed gauges, an optional Wonder Bar radio and a correct factory clock. And the centerpiece of this tailored environment is an expertly restored, two-tone steering wheel which is cinched between a chrome Turboglide shifter, bright horn ring and classy Impala emblem.

There simply isn't much late 50s metal that's nicer or cooler than this first class Chevy Impala. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com today for more information!
