Equipment
409, dual quads, bored .030 over and with 450hp, 4 speed, Rally wheels, 4.55 Posi Traction, rally wheels, tach in dashboard pod, Hurst shifter. Uneven hood edge trim, chipped fender, pitted console chrome, poorly finished top boot trim but good fresh major chrome. Carpet stuffed between seat back and cushion, steering wheel not done. A pretty superficial restoration with enough obvious oversights and shortcomings that its overall presentation is seriously compromised. Wednesday. No Reserve.
Market commentary
The bidders were willing to overlook the shortcomings and buy this Impala based solely on its eye appeal and the allure of the 409 4 speed drivetrain. The price could even have been a little better, but with the 409 and 4.55 rear axle the buyer discounted expected fuel costs and factored it into the price.
