HELLO '59 CHEVROLET LOVERS,
FIRST, IAM SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND AND HE NOW HAS NO TIME FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT RESTORE THE CAR DUE TO OTHER PRESSING INTERESTS. I DO KNOW THIS CAR INSIDE AND OUT FIRSTHAND AND WILL BE TAKING ALL QUESTIONS AND PHOTOS FOR HIM. THE TITLE IS A CLEAR COLORADO TITLE AND IT IS READY TO GO. THE MAN WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAVED THIS 59 TO BE RESORED SOME DAY AND IT JUST NEVER HAPPENED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO TIS 59 JUSTICE! PLEASE NO TIRE KICKERS AS THIS IS THE REAL DEAL READY FOR A EASY RESTORATION FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE! YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER '59 FOR THE MONEY!
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A VERY ORIGINAL , UNTOUCHED, UNMOLESTED, 1959 CHEVROLET IMPALA 2 DR HT SPORT COUPE. THE CAR IS 100% COMPLETE (LESS GAS TANK) AND WAS SITTING IN INSIDE STORAGE FOR 30+ YEARS WHEN IN 2008 IT WAS FINALLY SOLD BUY THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FAMILY. (HAVE ORIGINAL TITLE PHOTO - KANSAS)
QUICK NOTES:
THIS IS 100% MATCHING NUMBERS CAR. (SEE DETAILS) THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE 1978 FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AND IT SHOWS. THE VERY STRAIGHT ORIGINAL BODY AND IT IS IN MAINLY UNTOUCHED, UNRESOTRED CONDITION, THIS IMPALA REALLY STANDS OUT.
THIS '59 IMPALA COUPE IS A RARE FIND, AS IT HAS THE VERY HARD TO FIND EXTERIOR GRECIAN GREY (A SILVER METALLIC LOOKING) ORIGINAL PAINT AND A VERY RARE FACTORY ROMAN RED TRI-TONE ORIGINAL CHEVROLET INTERIOR WHICH MOST HAD THE GREY TRI-TONE INTERIORS! THIS WAS A SPECIAL ORDER INTERIOR COLOR WITH THE EXTERIOR PAINT. ALSO ORDERED WITH THE BIG BLOCK 348 250HP AND FACTORY DEALER A/C COOLPAC (COOL PAC CENTER NOW MISSING) STILL HAS RARE DOUBLE PULLYS ON THE ENGINE AND ORIGINAL A/C HOSES IN PLACE. THIS WILL BE SOLD AS A NON-RUNNING CAR.
THE OVERALL INTERIOR:
THE INTERIOR IS 100% ALL ORIGINAL WITH A RED PADDED DASH THAT HAS SEEN WAY TOO MUCH HOT KANSAS SUN AND HAS CRACKED AND FADED NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THIS IMPALA STILL HAS A BEAUTIFUL PERFECT ORIGINAL REFLECTIVE DIAMOND PATTERN SILVER HEADLINER AND VISORS. THE TOPS OF THE INTERIOR SEATS ARE SUNBAKED, BUT ACTUALLY IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR. THE SEAT PADDING AND SEAT SPRINGS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, ONLY NEEDING A REFIT OUTER MATERIAL CHANGE! THE SALT 'N PEPPER CARPET IS ORIGINAL ALSO AND HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS WITH WEAR HOLES SHOWING. THE SIDE INTERIOR PANELS ARE ACTUALLY STILL NICE, ESPECIALLY THE REAR SEAT SIDES AND DO NOT NEED REPLACED, UNLESS YOUR DOING A FULL RESTORATION OR FRAME OFF. THE LOWER FRONT DOOR PANLES DO NEED THE LOWER PORTIONS REPLACED WITH CARPET OR VINYL IF YOU DECIDE ON SAVING THEM, THE UPPER PARTS ARE STILL OK. THE REAR SEAT IS FADED BUT NOT RIPPED OR SPLIT BAD ON THE BOTTOM SECTION, BUT THE TOP SECTION UPPER PORTION IS SUN BAKED AND SPLIT. THE CENTER SPEAKER COVER IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE. INTERIOR DASH CHROME IS VERY GOOD AND THE SIDE ALUMINUM / STAINLESS INTERIOR UPPER AND WINDOW TRIM IS ALSO EXCELLENT TO VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO PITTING. ALL WINDOWS OPERATE NICE DOORS SHUT TIGHT AND FIT GREAT. INTERIOR LIGHTS ALL WORK ALONG WITH WIPERS AND DASH LIGHTS, HIGH BEAMS, BLINKER INDICATORS. RADIO AND CLOCK DO NOT WORK.
THE OVERALL EXTERIOR:
THE EXTERIOR PAINT SEEMS TO BE MOSTLY ORIGINAL PAINT IN MOST AREAS. THE FRONT FENDERS WERE RESPRAYED BELOW THE MAIN SIDE TRIM AND THE LOWER SIDE DOORS DRIVERS & PASSENGER SIDE. NOT SURE WHY, BUT NO MAJOR BODY DAMAGE FOUND ON THE BODY, OR FRAME, OR SUPPORTS. THE CAR IS VERY STRAIGHT OVERALL AND THE GLASS AND EXTERIOR STAINLESS IS ALL IN GREAT SHAPE. THE CAR HAS NICE ORIGNAL FIT AND IS A GREAT CANIDATE FOR A FRAME OFF RESTORATION.
THE MAIN METAL FLAWS FOR REPAIR.
THE MAIN THIN LONG FLOOR BRACE FOR THE FRONT SEAT, LONG FRONT BRACES, THE SHORT BRACES L&R FOR THE FRONT OF THE REAR FLOOR PAN, THE TWO SHORT BRACES FOR THE REAR OF THE REAR FLOOR PAN. THESE ARE ALL PHOTO-ED FOR YOU TO SEE. THIS RUSTOUT WAS ONLY DUE TO ISOLATED POCKETS OF SAND AND DIRT PACKING IN THE BRACES AND SITTING WITH WATER. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THESE ARE VERY ISOLATED RUSTOUTS AND THE METAL NEXT TO IT SHOW NO AGE AT ALL. THESE ARE NOT THAT BAD TO REPAIR AND THEN HAVE A GREAT SOLID UNDERSIDE. THE LOWER FRONT FENDER HEADLIGHTS WERE REPAIRED THAT WAS ANOTHER RUSTOUT AREA NOT BAD FOR 59'S
MAIN MECHANICAL:
THE ENGINE TURNED OVER GOOD AFTER ADDING MYSTERY OIL TO THE CYLINDERS FIRST AND WAS FIRED BREIFLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS. WE HAD A GAS LINE TO NEW GAS IN A RESERVE TANK. WE DECIDED THE 348 SHOULD BE AND WILL NEED REBUILT, AS IT WOULD NOT RUN UP TO STANDARDS. WE ARE THEREFORE SELLING THIS A NON-RUNNING CAR WITH ENGINE NEEDING A TOTAL REBUILD. THE TRANSMISSION IS A CORRECT POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC AND THE REAR END IS ALSO CORRECT FOR 59.
NOTE: GAS TANK HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO BAD GAS VARNISH, NEW GAS TANK IS NEEDED. $149 ON EBAY THANKS
LAST NOTES:
THE 1959 FULL HUBCAPS HAVE BEAUTIFUL NEW SPINNER SETS INSTALLED AND THE ORIGINAL STEEL (WITH CORRECT NIBS) WHEELS WERE SANDED AND REPAINTED ROMAN RED AND PAINTED BLACK INSIDE JUST LIKE FACTORY. A GREAT OVERALL 59 IMPALA COUPE FOR RESTORATION, I AM VERY SORRY THAT HE WILL NOT GET TO DO IT. I KNOW LATER HE WILL REGRET THIS SALE, AS IT IS SO HARD TO FIND A DECENT COMPLETE 59 ANYMORE!
