The 1967 Chevrolet Impala occupies a unique place in American automotive culture, famously sharing its model year with the iconic “Baby” from the television series Supernatural. While this example is configured as a 2-door hardtop rather than the well-known 4-door sedan driven by the Winchester brothers, it remains no less compelling in its own right. Finished in black and powered by a big-block V8, this Impala delivers the visual presence and mechanical substance that defined Chevrolet’s full-size performance offerings of the era. Features such as a push-button starter and a period-correct radio further enhance its appeal, blending classic character with functional usability. Belonging to the fourth-generation Impala produced between 1965 and 1970, this car represents a mature and desirable chapter in the model’s evolution. As an authentic American classic with strong cultural recognition and enduring mechanical appeal, it stands as a rewarding vehicle to own, drive, and preserve, with desirability that continues to grow over time.
Impala sounds nice, doesn’t it? Saying “I drive an Impala” has a great ring about it. That’s likely what Chevy thought when they brought out this model in 1958, as their flagship passenger car. Named after an African antelope known for its grace and sleek build, the Impala would go on until 2020, produced across ten generations and in a variety of body styles. It’s been used by countless American families as their daily driver, has been offered in sporty guises, and has even graced the NASCAR circuit. Today, we have a third-generation 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe for sale from Bismarck, North Dakota. This sleek machine sports many interesting features, including a 383 Stroker, a 700R4 transmission, and more. Let us tell you more, and if you’d like to give it a home, DM us right now. You’ll also get the owner’s manual and a car cover with the sale.
This 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS represents a thoughtfully modified example of Chevrolet’s iconic full-size Super Sport, blending authentic SS lineage with substantial performance and drivability upgrades. While retaining its factory SS identity, this Impala has been extensively enhanced with modern mechanical components, updated cooling systems, and contemporary suspension hardware to create a car that is equally suited for spirited driving and reliable road use. The combination of a built 409ci V8, overdrive automatic transmission, and modern chassis improvements positions this Impala as a well-executed restomod that respects its heritage while embracing functional modernization.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
