The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.

The Chevrolet Impala, named after the graceful African antelope, is an American icon of the automobile industry. Once built as the automaker’s flagship passenger car, these fourth-generation models set an all-time industry annual sales record of more than 1 million units in the United States after being redesigned in 1965. Arguably, the fourth generation Chevrolet Impala turned out to be one of the best-looking cars in its lineage, just like the 1968 restomod model we have for you today. This particular car has undergone a frame off restoration that was completed in 2022, and a new LS1 5.7-liter engine has been installed as reported by the current owner. Clocking less than a mere 7,000 miles on the new monster of an engine, this powerful automatic 1968 Chevrolet Impala Restomod is for sale in Washington, District of Columbia.

Chevy’s Camaro and its stablemate, the Pontiac Firebird were introduced in 1967 as GM’s pony car duo. Not content to let Ford have all the fun, the General was firing on all cylinders.

This generation would run until 1981 and was a totally new design. If you’re a fan of the second-generation Camaro, check out this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta, which is up for grabs.

However, as was inevitable, it soon gained sporting credentials. Take this 1970 Chevrolet Nova as a prime example. No doubt it was quite sporty when it left the factory gates, but the car has now received several enhancements to make it a real treat for keen drivers. With a mere 4,000 miles since it got several upgraded powertrain components, the car awaits a new owner.
