You are viewing my 1970 Impala Custom Coupe project. When I purchased the car is was running and driving. After removing the drivetrain and full disassembly, I detached the body from the frame, there was no rust to repair so the frame got the most attention. It was sandblasted then powder coated. The front subframe was notched because the oil pan from the LS1 that was going in it hit the brace. I then replaced all the suspension bushings with new poly urethane and fabricated a rack & pinion steering for it as well. The entire suspension was upgraded to Air RIde Technologies with auto ride height, front control arms, etc and the rear end was overhauled to a 3.73 posi traction. A new old stock fuel tank was purchased as well. The brakes were upgraded to disc all around, with bigger rotors on the front and the rear was just upgraded to rotors. The body mount busing were replaced with new ones as well. For the interior, new body GTO seats was fitted in the front and rear (the rear seats was sectioned so they would sit at the proper height. Bonspeed billet Big Block wheels were fitted in 20 x 9 up front and 22 x 10 in the rear with Verdestein tires. The wheels was sanded, etch primed and painted (they can easily be stripped and polished if you wish). I have alot of hard to find '70 Impala parts that will come with the car as well. The car is rust free so as I see it, you can go two routes, use it as a parts car or finish it however you choose. The center of the roof was cut out for a panoramic 1/2" pane to fill it but I never made it that far. I still have the cutout which can be easily tacked back into place or I have the source for the glass panel. Either way, the wheels and air ride setup alone are worth more than the very small reserve on the car. Need a rust free body, check! Need an upgraded chassis to bolt under yours, check! You cannot loose with this one. Good luck. I have a ton of pictures, send me a message if truly interested and I can send you the link to those. Thanks for looking!
