1969 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 396 V8 Auto Factory A/C Power Steering CLASSIC

1969 Chevrolet Impala Description

1969 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 396 V8 Auto Factory A/C Power Steering – Classic!

This auction is for a used 1969 Chevy Impala Convertible in running condition.

I’m representing a local bank in this auction. The bank repossessed this vehicle from a classic car enthusiast. The bank has clear title in the bank’s name – this is an Oklahoma title and the title reflects “Repo.”

This car is in Edmond Oklahoma. You can contact me (Marc at 405-503-8496) for any questions you might have. I’m a longtime seller on eBay with a 100% feedback rating and I intend to represent this Impala as accurately and honestly as possible and will promptly answer any questions. If you are local I would strongly encourage you to inspect this car in person. I will also accommodate any local PPI’s (pre-purchase inspections) before the auction ends.

The odometer currently shows 7000 assume it’s 107,000 - title says Odometer “Exempt”. Believed to have been in storage for the past 4 years (last tagged in 2013). The exterior color is Butternut Yellow with a White convertible top. Interior is Green.

Note: I do not know the repair or service history of this Impala since it was a repo. I’m not a mechanic but a “car guy” and here are my observations of the car:

The Good:

• Runs and drives
• Fluids looked good and clean at the time of repo (have not been changed since the repo)
• Desirable 396 V8 engine rated at 256 hp
• Auto transmission, shifts correctly
• Engine and transmission assumed to be original to the car
• Starts right up (new battery)
• No visible smoke white or gray from exhaust
• Frame appears in good shape and not rusted away
• Floor panels not rusted away
• Trunk not rusted away
• All four tires are matching, have good tread and are not rotted
• Convertible top looks like it was replaced recently, in very good condition with no tears or rips and a glass back window.
• Convertible top motor goes up and down automatically and smoothly using up/down switch
• Body is straight and solid with some minor dents/dings
• Chrome bumpers and in good shape (minor nicks and dents but no rust)
• Seats appear to be original and have a few cracks in the vinyl on the sides
