1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible – AWARD-WINNING CUSTOM / SHOW CAR

To achieve an award-winning result with a project of this magnitude, where virtually everything has been new, rebuilt, restored or modified, you need an enormous amount of dedication, determination and passion, combined with an exceptional level of knowledge and a genuine eye for detail.

It also requires self-discipline, decisiveness, the ability to get things done, and a large network of highly skilled people around you. And, perhaps most importantly, a healthy budget – because a build of this level certainly does not come cheap!

We believe this project has included all of the above, and much more. An incredible amount of work, countless hours and an enormous commitment have resulted in an outstanding car that has achieved top scores at numerous professional judging events and shows, including Power Meet, Summer Meet, Oslo Motor Show, Finnkampen / Classic Car Parade, Elmia and many others. Naturally, the car has also collected numerous awards and trophies at countless other major and smaller events.

Nothing has been left to chance. Everything has either been rebuilt, replaced, newly fabricated or restored to an exceptionally high standard.

CHASSIS & RUNNING GEAR.
Brand-new LS3 producing 430 hp. Brand-new 4L70E automatic transmission. Brand-new Ford 9-inch rear axle with limited-slip differential. Modified X-frame C-notched rear frame section for rear axle clearance. Heavy-duty front and rear anti-roll bars. Adjustable Ridetech suspension links. Dual upper links. Boxed control arms. Modified control arms for improved suspension geometry. Borgeson steering box. Digital four-way air suspension. Drilled and slotted Corvette brake discs, front and rear. 15-inch Corvette steel wheels with 14-inch spinner hubcaps and 15-inch trim rings. Whitewall tires
Dakota Digital instrumentation.

The body has been channelled 2 inches (5 cm) over the frame, allowing the car to sit virtually on the ground when the air suspension is fully lowered.

The exhaust outlets have been routed through the body, and all modifications are correctly documented and registered in the Swedish registration certificate. This means there is no need to worry about being stopped by the police because of the modifications, nor should an insurance company have grounds to question the legality of the construction.

BODY & INTERIOR
The exterior features a custom-mixed interpretation of the original Crown Sapphire color combined with metallic white.

The interior has been restored in a matching, period-correct original style, complemented by a white convertible top.

Equipment includes:
Power steering. Power brakes. Continental kit. Power windows – all four. Power vent windows. Power front bench seat. Power trunk. Cruiser skirts. Bumper guards. Autronic-Eye. Dual Appleton spotlights. Dual antennas. Door-handle scratch guards. Tissue dispenser. Level-Air emblem. Paint dividers. Air-conditioning vents. Backup lights. Day/ night rear-view mirror. Dual outside mirrors. Green-tinted glass. Concealed upgraded sound system with DSP and 9 speakers. SHOW CONDITION

The car is, naturally, in true show condition and is equally impressive wherever you look. The underside is absolutely spectacular, and to fully appreciate the extent, quality and attention to detail of this build, the car really has to be seen and experienced in person.

However, this is not a car for someone looking for a strictly original 1959 Impala.

This car was built exactly according to the builder's personal vision and taste. It is therefore not an original factory-specification car, but rather an extensively modified and highly detailed custom build.

The car has been displayed at numerous shows and events and has received numerous trophies and awards in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

There is simply no way to see this car without stopping and taking notice – that much is certain.

The price of the car is 2. 200. 000 SEK, which at the time of writing corresponds to approximately 195. 000 Euro.
