This custom Impala received a complete restoration that cost approximately $160,000, and has less than 50 test miles since it was completed in December 2010. No expense was spared during the course of the 18-month restoration period – this is a top-flight machine with a detailed presentation that would be difficult to replicate. Storage in a climate-controlled environment helps to keep the car in a fine state of appearance.

The Chevrolet has had a frame-off restoration, it features a GM 350-cid, 400-hp ZZ4 V-8 engine with 10:1 compression, a .510 lift camshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, street and performance fuel-injection system with 40-pound injectors and March Performance billet aluminum serpentine belt system. This impressive unit is coupled to a two-speed Powerglide transmission that features a B&M 2500 stall-converter and a Lokar braided transmission dipstick. Custom mirror inserts are placed in the hood.

The chassis is set up with a custom Air Ride Technologies airbag suspension, Strong Arm three-link rear suspension, Strong Arm tubular front control arms, a polished Howe aluminum radiator, chrome master cylinder and booster, front disc brake conversion, stainless steel fuel tank and Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The wheels are by Budnik, with 17-inch on the front and 18-inch fitted at the rear. The Sumitomo tires are sized appropriately to present the car at a proper stance.

The interior is custom and presented in two-tone leather. Among the interior appointments you will find power windows, Billet Specialties window and door handles, Dakota Digital dash cluster, Alpine stereo system, polished Ididit steering column, polished Vintage Air conditioning unit and Budnik leather-wrapped steering wheel.
