Car is amazingly solid, runs and drives great. Dual exhaust with "cherry bomb style" mufflers, sounds awesome. Plenty of power and zip with the 350 V-8 and 4 barrel carburetor. Automatic transmission with shift kit, will shift smoothly if you go easy on the accelerator at shift points, or stand on it if you want to chip the tires and put yourself back in the seat at the first to second gear shift point (approx. 50 mph). No longer a need to worry about replacing points or power loss with worn points, the breaker point style ignition was replaced with a Pertronix module, high energy ignition coil, low resistance Pertronix plug wires, and Bosch Platinum spark plugs for consistent performance. Has a Sears Diehard Gold battery and a K & N air filter. The mileage is actual at 53,130.4 miles. Solid frame, body, and bumpers. Paint is original and it is faded, checked, and flaking in some places. Body/paint has some dings and scrapes. Very little rust for its age. The bumpers are solid but the chrome is flaking. Seats are vinyl and in good shape, no rips or splits. The dash is cracked in a few places as these typically do. Has front and back floor mats. The outside tail light lens on the passenger side is missing (stolen), that opening is taped up to keep water off of the bulb and wiring. The air conditioning does NOT work. The four original steel wheels and matching Goodyear tires are in the trunk because they were some of the many victims of a neighborhood tire slashing spree. Presently on the rear are matching Sears snow tires, the passenger side front tire is a BF Goodrich (spare out of another 73 Impala), and the drivers side front is a Dayton Blue Ribbon tire (spare from this car). Has a bumper jack in good condition. Some extras to go with the car include a second bumper jack that is rusty, three 73 Impala hub caps identical to the four that are on the car, and one 74 Impala hubcap. A great car for the older Impala enthusiast to drive as is, or if you want to restore such a car to showroom condition you couldn't ask for a better starting point. A true survivor of its era.
