The Impala was having the time of its life in the second half of the '60s, especially after breaking all sales records with the 1965 model year.
The 1965 Impala was the first car in the United States to sell more than 1 million units in one year. The Impala was already the best-selling car in its home market since the early '60s, but this new achievement demonstrated that only the sky was the limit for its customer appeal.
Sales slightly declined in the next few years, mainly as Chevrolet promoted the Caprice to a separate series, but the demand remained strong. The Impalas appearing in Supernatural boosted the car's popularity in 1967, making the full-size model a highly desirable vehicle for fans of the series.
The four-door hardtop in these photos is one of the examples dreaming about a Supernatural conversion. The car has been sitting for God knows how long, but the photos suggest it's been parked in what looks to be a parking lot for more than a few years.
This 1967 Impala is rough, but eBay seller vitiu_vitiu doesn't share many specifics. It's safe to assume you'll spend some time dealing with rust damage, and one of the photos trying to reveal the undersides confirms that such problems have already invaded the floors and the trunk. However, the undercarriage doesn't look as bad as I expected, so you should put this car on a lift to get a better look at what happens underneath.
The first thing the interior needs is a good wash, as the cabin looks very dirty, and it's almost impossible to tell if anything is missing based solely on the provided images.
The Impala also has an engine under the hood, but it's impossible to tell if it still starts and runs. It's a 327 small-block unit, and the photos don't look good. Any mechanic should be able to tell if the engine is stuck, so an in-person or third-party inspection is almost mandatory, especially if you want to keep the original engine.
The owner explains that this Impala qualifies for a Supernatural conversion, but it's clear it's not an easy project. The selling price could be a roadblock for the car's return to the road, as the owner wants to let it go for $15,000.
The eBay listing also allows users to send other offers through the "Make Offer" button, so interested buyers should start negotiating if they believe the car is worth a second chance. The vehicle is parked in Illinois, and you'll need a trailer to take it home, albeit it's unclear if it rolls freely. The listing will expire in approximately one month, so you have enough time to see it in person.
