1958 Chevrolet Impala
2 Door Hardtop
This is a very nice 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop. This car is all original with the exception of the period correct, roll and pleated seats and door panels. She is powered by a 348 cu. in. V-8 with a four barrel carburator. This allows her to cruise effortlessly on the Interstate at 70MPH. The transmission is a matching automatic 2 speed powerglide which shifts smoothly. Both were rebuilt and installed in the car 3 years ago. Driven very few miles since (local car shows, cruise-ins and whenever the urge strikes). This girl really floats when driven at highway speeds.
To make driving a pleasure this car has power steering and power drum brakes. For those cold nights, she is equipped with a working heater and defrost. For those warm summer days, roll down the windows and step on the gas, no AC. This car was meant to drive with the windows down anyway.
All the gauges work well, (speedometer, temperature, gas). All the lights work including the interior dash and turn signal indicators. The clock does not work. To make cruising more pleasurable, a modern CD player has been installed behind the tissue dispenser under the dash.
The tires are wide whites and have a very nice set of original spinner wheel covers. An original bias ply tire, for show only, is in the very clean trunk.
The seats, carpet and headliner were recovered some time ago but show very well. As stated above, the seats and door panels were done in the roll and pleated style which really set off this car and make her stand out as unique.
The exterior is painted white and is also in very good condition. If you like chrome, this is the car for you. All the chrome is present and shines well. There are a few minor dents on the door guards on both sides. The bumpers, grill and side moldings are very nice as are the hood and trunk emblems. The rear roof molding could stand to be redone. The painted fender skirts show this girl's modesty.
The dual exhaust was replaced with the engine and transmission 3 years ago.
The glass is all present and some appears original. It is in pretty good shape overall. Minor chips in the windshield and minor scratches on the rear window.
The odometer reads 36,049 but is not correct. I do not know if it has rolled over. It was not reset when the new engine and transmission were installed. The odometer does work and may increase slightly as I continue to drive the car.
While not a show car, you will not find a better, more complete, more original driver. She takes her fair share of trophies a the local car shows.
I can be reached at (803)808-1919 or (803)260-0157. If you are truly interested, call and let's talk. I have described this car to the best of my ability. I encourage you to inspect the car or hire someone to do it for you prior to bidding. I will make the car available for your inspection during the auction. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000.00 is due through PayPal within 48 hours. The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle.
I am not offering shipping on this vehicle. However, I will work with the winning bidders shipper. My zip code is 29072 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.
Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
