1970 Impala Convertible, NOT original. This car was purchased by me in the early 90's. The original driveline including engine, transmission, exhaust, and suspension (springs, shocks, bushings, etc.) was replaced with high performance items.

Engine is 454 built by a professional engine builder. Holley carb. Edelbrock intake manifold. Electronic ignition. Transmission is a THD 350 with manual shift kit. Exhaust is Hooker headers. 12 bolt rear (non posi). Car is only taken out for a ride once every couple of years. It is very powerful.

It is possible that the mileage is really 56,296 and not 156,296 but I listed it high so as not to get involved in that discussion. I don't think that I have put 2,000 miles on it since the driveline was replaced, and I was told it had one owner before me who just used it around town.

Outside condition is pretty good. Interior needs work. I never hooked up the AC fan belt, though the pump and system are intact. I would recommend charging it and having it checked out first if you want to use AC.

When I turned on the heater this year, it sounded like an acorn had gotten into the fan. I had someone working on the wiring, and he took out one switch and one window motor. I have them. He also took out a set of aftermarket speakers mounted in the back, leaving holes in the trim as shown. Seats are shown in pictures. Vent hoses from heating/AC have fallen apart. I only take it out in the summer so I never fixed it.

Front wiring harness was replaced with driveline. New convertible motor. I have extra parts such as ashtrays, cigarette lighters, and hubcaps that go with the car.

The car is a driver. Engine is powerful, controllable and responsive. Handling is tight. Built to be a highway car. Car is registered and inspected.

As is. No returns. Need the room in the garage.

Thanks for looking.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
