PLEASE NOTE: To illustrate the quality of this classic 1959 Chevy Impala Convertible, there are over 50 images with many close-ups for serious prospective buyers.

BUT, to see ALL of the images, you MUST place your cursor on an image - allow plenty of time for all images to download - and then scroll slowly ALL the way to the bottom.

CAUTION: if you use the scroller to the FAR RIGHT of your screen or the "Click to view image album" feature...you will NOT see all the images.

2,386 TRANSACTIONS WITH HAPPY PEOPLE! As of the date of this listing, we've had 2,386 transactions (both buying and selling) on eBay without a single complaint. One of the keys to our selling success is the use of LARGER and MORE images than you will likely see in ANY other eBay listing...so you can CLEARLY see what you are getting.

QUESTIONS?   Please call Jim Murphy at 706-429-7924 if you have any questions that this description or the pictures at right do not answer for you.

PRIMARY RESTORATION OBJECTIVEwas to have a very reliable classic to drive for sheer pleasure and to shows.  Reliable and pleasurable touring was an absolute must, and was solidly achieved. 

Overall, this is the ideal “drive and show” car.  It is in excellent overall condition, but not “over-restored” to the point where it can no longer be enjoyed as an automobile.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL...on this beautiful 1959 Impala Convertible is of the “Blue Chip” variety.  No decade expressed American optimism and glamour better than the 1950s.  And NO year was as glamorous as 1959 when General Motors – stunned by the introduction and success of Chrysler’s “Forward Look” 1957 range – thundered their response in 1959 with completely new bodies for ALL of GM’s nameplates.  Most important to “get right” was Chevrolet…GM’s volume leader.  And “get it right” they did with a dramatically styled rear deck and “teardrop” design that was never upstaged by any rival.

Many of the most desirable cars of the 1950s are already well into six-digits (e.g. a 1954 Buick Skylark owner recently was asking $180,000 for his car). There are very few solid 1959 Chevrolets left…far fewer convertibles…and far fewer convertibles with the Continental Kit and 348 Tri-Power.

There’s probably no better bet for the “six-digit” value club over the next ten years than this fabulous convertible.

PAYMENT DETAILS: Payment is due within 5 days of auction's end via Bank to Bank Wire Transfer. Vehicle will be released to the new owner immediately upon full clearance of payment to seller's Bank.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome, but MUST adhere to the Payment Details above and also make all arrangements for pick-up and importation of the vehicle into the Buyer's country. We will store the car free of charge for a reasonable period of time while transportation is arranged for the car.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of sales and marketing in a Global 100 company, I formed Murphy Endeavors, LLC and began buying and selling classic cars as a collector and for friends and clients.

This stunning 1959 Chevrolet belongs to a friend and fellow Classic Car enthusiast who is a successful businessman by day, and master mechanic in a fully equipped shop on evening and weekend hobby time.

Please note that I have had 2,386 eBay transactions with 100% Positive Feedback and have sold classic cars to happy eBay customers in Sweden, Switzerland, France, Australia, Russia, Canada, Japan, and throughout the United States.

IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE...the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and the Georgia-issued Registration Document.  NOTE:  The state of Georgia did not begin issuing auto titles until 1962, therefore NO pre-1962 car in Georgia has a Georgia-issued title.  The Registration Document for these cars serves the dual function as both the ownership and registration document.

Though significant dollar investments have been made to make the car a reliable road performer…it remains a 50+ year-old vehicle with 50+ year-old technology. Therefore, the sale is strictly on an as-is and final basis with no warranty or liability expressed or implied.

QUESTIONS? Please call Jim Murphy at 706-429-7924 if you have any questions that this description or the pictures at right do not answer for you.

PLEASE BE SURE TO REVIEW ALL THE IMAGES AT RIGHT...as they supplement the description with important information.
