Springville, Indiana

THIS 1968 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONVERTIBLE WAS SOLD NEW AT CHASE CHEVROLET INC. IN BEDFORD, INDIANA ON MARCH 15, 1968 TO A LADY WHO WAS A COUNTY OFFICIAL WHO THEN SOLD THE CAR TO ANOTHER COUNTY OFFICIAL ON NOVEMBER 30, 1976 WHO WAS THEN ELECTED MAYOR AND SERVED IN THAT OFFICE FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. HE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR HIS SIXTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO DROVE THE CAR WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND SUMMERS WHILE IN COLLEGE. AFTER THAT THE CAR WAS GARAGED AND ONLY DRIVEN OCCASIONALLY MAINLY IN LOCAL PARADES. THIS CAR HAS SELDOM EVER BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTY IT WAS SOLD NEW IN. AFTER HAVING OWNED FOR THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS THE FAMILY RELUCTANTLY DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR AS IT HAD BEEN STORED AT THE FAMILY FARM IN A POLE BUILDING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND A TWO FAMILY OWNED UNMOLESTED SURVIVOR CAR AS THIS WITH SUCH A LOCAL HISTORY. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 20840 MILES BUT THE TITLE IS MILEAGE EXEMPT. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NEW. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 327 V8 4BBL ENGINE AND POWERGLIDE TRANSMISSION WITH POWER STEERING AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING THAT WORKS. HEATER ALSO WORKS AS IT SHOULD. RADIO DOES NOT WORK AND SECOND OWNER TOLD ME THE RADIO DID NOT WORK WHEN HE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1976. POWER TOP WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I BELIEVE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL SHOCKS ON IT. CAR HAS HAD ONE OLDER REPAINT THAT WAS DONE WITH MARTIN SENOUR NITRAM POLYURETHANE IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR ERMINE WHITE. PAINT STILL LOOKS VERY PRESENTABLE CONSIDERING IT`S AGE. HAS A FEW CHIPS AND SCRAPES ACQUIRED OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE GONE OVER THE ENTIRE CAR WITH A MAGNET AND ONLY FOUND FOUR SMALL PLACES WITH BODY FILLER EACH ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL. THE UNDERNEATH AND FLOOR PANS LOOK ALMOST LIKE NEW. ONLY RUST ISSUES I HAVE FOUND ARE CORNERS IN TRUNK BY WHEEL WELLS BUT ONLY MINOR. THE CHROME IS VERY GOOD WITH DOOR HANDLES AND HEADLIGHT DOORS HAVING SOME PITTING. BUMPERS ARE AMAZING WITH NO DINGS OR DENTS AT ALL. NEEDS A NEW TOP AND BACK WINDOW BUT TOP WELL IS VERY GOOD. NEEDS SOME INTERIOR WORK AS SHOWN IN PICTURES AND SOME WEATHERSTRIPPING REPLACED. THE FRONT SEAT WAS RECOVERED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. REST OF INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL. DASH PAD IS PERFECT. CAR COMES WITH ORIGINAL MANUALS AND PROTECT-O-PLATE. HAS THE ORIGINAL JACK AND WHAT I BELIEVE COULD BE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES AS THE SPARE. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE BEING A LIFE LONG RESIDENT OF THE SAME COUNTY AS THE CAR AND KNOWING IT`S LOCAL HISTORY AND BEING A SURVIVOR HAD THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF OTHER PROJECTS AND HEALTH ISSUES HAVE DECIDED TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. YOU DECIDE HOW FAR YOU WANT TO TAKE IT RESTORATION WISE. LEAVE IT AS THE SURVIVOR IT IS, MAKE IT A NICE SUMMER CRUISER AND OR PARADE CAR OR RESTORE IT BACK TO IT`S ORIGINAL BEAUTY. I HAVE TRIED TO REPRESENT THE CAR TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. LOOK IT UP IN THE NADA COLLECTOR CAR PRICE GUIDE AND I THINK YOU WILL SEE I HAVE THE CAR PRICED ACCORDINGLY. IF ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL THROUGH EBAY OR CALL GARY AT 812-279-9125.
