Named after the graceful African antelope, the Chevy Impala has been a full-size and midsize nameplate in the Bowtie’s hierarchy for years. It’s been intermittently seen between 1957 and 2020. Perhaps the Impala’s greatest claim to fame is its prominence in the hit TV series Supernatural as the car of choice for the Winchester Brothers. That car was, in fact, a 1967 Impala, but a hardtop. Meanwhile, this car is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible, with all information as reported by the current owner. We’re told that it’s got plenty of upgrades and enhancements, so let’s learn more.
Widely remembered as the car driven by the Winchester brothers in the hit series Supernatural, the Chevy Impala was the Bowtie’s full-size car between 1958 and 1976. Then, the Impala downsized in response to changing market conditions, before finally retiring in 2020. The Impala, named after the African antelope of the same name, was envisioned to be the staple of American family motoring. Hence, Chevy offered it as a coupe, convertible, sedan, station wagon and hardtop. This particular 26,500-mile 1960 Chevrolet 4 Door Impala Sedan comes from the nameplate’s second generation, and is a four-door sedan. Since it’s said to be with original mileage, this car is great for a classic car aficionado who cares about the finer details.
Playing the role of Chevy’s flagship offering between 1958 and 1985, the Impala was aptly named after the African antelope of the same name. The Impala was meant to embody grace, which is an interesting way to describe an automaker’s most land yacht-like vehicle. Over time, the Impala would be made as a coupe, convertible, hardtop, and station wagon. This particular 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible comes from the last year of the third generation, and got a full frame-off restoration in 2020. The car has received a few useful upgrades as well including a full hydraulic system, making it a wonderfully charming classic car to add to your collection – or start a collection with.
The C8 Corvette has graduated to become a proper supercar-killing mid-engine monster. But for many, the C7 Corvette is an icon in its own right. It likely is the last front-engine ’Vette, a formula that lasted seven generations. And in ZR1 guise, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3ZR is every bit as formidable a package, ready to dominate the street and the track. Our featured car is reportedly a low-mileage example, with just 2,290 miles on the odometer. It’s also equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and a host of performance-focused upgrades, making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most powerful Corvettes ever built.
The Chevrolet Bel Air remains one of the most iconic nameplates in American automotive history. By 1955, it had cemented itself as the go-to choice for those who wanted a stylish, capable, and performance-oriented full-size coupe. This particular 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Hardtop builds upon that legacy, blending classic styling with modern performance enhancements. With a potent 355ci V8 under the hood, a four-speed manual transmission, and a host of tasteful modifications, this Bel Air is ready to turn heads and put down some serious power.
The sixth generation or C6 Corvette arrived for the 2005 model year, and while it dropped the pop-up headlamps of the fifth generation or C5, it more than compensated for them in other areas. The Corvette gained more power, performance, and luxury features. Plus, the Z06 variant came with the largest small block V8 engine ever produced at the time: a mega 7.0-liter beast. If that’s your sort of thrill, check out this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s for sale with us right now. This Idaho-based car is reportedly up-to-date on servicing and comes with the Preferred Equipment Group. But what’s more amazing is it packs an STS twin-turbo system, making the car even more exciting to drive.

This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a fully restored classic muscle car featuring a modified 350ci engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission. According to the current owner, the vehicle has undergone a complete restoration, including a new Dark Red Metallic paint job completed in 2020. This Camaro has reportedly been upgraded with a new shifter, headers, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system, enhancing its driving experience. The current owner also states that the vehicle retains its original 85,000-mile engine while benefiting from new carburetor components, a fresh oil change, and new tires. With a combination of vintage styling and mechanical upgrades, this Camaro represents an opportunity to own a classic American muscle car with refreshed features.
The Chevy 210 had a relatively short life, made between 1953 and 1957 before being superseded by the Biscayne. The 210 represented Chevy’s midrange offering, and was offered in various body styles. Buyers could select between sedans, hardtops, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Despite the short production run, Chevy actually made two generations of 210. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is a second-generation two-door coupe that’s received a thorough makeover. Residing in Orlando, Florida, it’s the perfect classic car with some modern features for someone who isn’t quite ready to go full classic just yet.
