The rest of the car is amazing but the driveline is what sets this vehicle apart from the rest, this impala is equipped with the 348 cubic inch super turbo thrust V8 with Tri-Power provided by the three rochester 2 barrel carburetors producing an impressive 335 horsepower. The block on this vehicle was decked during the restoration so we can not prove this to be the original block to the car. The engine compartment is in show condition and really makes a statement when you open the massive hood. This is not your ordinary Impala. The car is equipped with the 2-speed powerglide automatic transmission. This vehicle has an incredibly low 52,401 miles according to the title. A staple of working-class luxury, this impressive, big torque big block is one of the many reasons the Impala enjoys such fantastic name recognition. And absolutely every item from its shiny coat of Chevy Orange paint to its unique, bowtie-branded valve covers has, at one point, been rebuilt, refinished or replaced. The vehicle has a complete new exhaust system with correct mufflers. And the car's Satin Black engine bay, which is as clean as the paint on its body, serves as an ideal backdrop for what lies inside. The vehicle has a new gas tank with new straps and pads. This vehicle has had a recent tune up with fresh fluids. This vehicle has a correct Delco battery for show only and a new AGM battery mounted in the trunk (the AGM battery operates all the electrical needsofthe car).
