View carExplore Chevrolet Impalas for sale at Pedal to the Metal. Introduced for 1958 as Chevrolet’s top full-size line, the Impala is known for its triple taillights, and our focus is the classic 1958–1976 cars. The 1958 Bel Air Impala was a one-year design, offered as a Sport Coupe and convertible. From 1959 the range added four-door sedans and hardtops, with wagons from 1962. Engines run from the inline six and small-block V8s to the 348 and 409 and later the 396, 427 and 454 big-blocks, with Powerglide, manual and Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions. We also offer special later Impalas from time to time, such as the 1994–1996 Impala SS.
If your ideal Chevrolet isn’t in our current inventory, we can help you find it. PTTM sources high-quality classic and collector cars, with worldwide delivery available.
Choose by era, body style and character. The 1958 car is a one-year design, offered only as a Sport Coupe and convertible. The 1959–1960 cars wear wide horizontal fins, while the crisper 1961–1964 cars include the 1961 ‘bubbletop’ coupé and the 409-powered cars of 1962–1964. Impalas up to 1964 use an X-frame. The 1965–1970 cars moved to a perimeter frame and Coke-bottle styling.
The 1971–1976 cars are the largest, and 1972 brought the last Impala convertible. Later Impalas include the downsized 1977–1985 cars and the 1994–1996 Impala SS sedan with its 5.7-litre LT1 V8.
It depends on the year. The 1961 Super Sport was a performance package, offered on any Impala with a 348 or 409 V8 and heavier-duty suspension and brakes. For 1962 and 1963 it became the Z03 trim option on the Sport Coupe and convertible, available with any engine, including the six. From 1964 to 1967 the Impala SS was a separate series, which shows in the VIN, and for 1968 it was an option again. The 1967–1969 SS427 package, RPO Z24, added the 427 V8 and sport suspension to two-door Impalas.
Start with identity, because Super Sport badges and big-block emblems are easy to add. On 1964–1967 cars the VIN confirms an SS. On 1962–1963 cars the cowl tag trim code and original paperwork are the main evidence. Check that the engine, transmission and equipment match the documentation, especially on 348, 409, 427 and 454 cars. Then inspect the structure, including the floors, trunk floor, rockers and lower panels, and the X-frame on 1958–1964 cars.
On restomod and pro-touring cars, judge the quality of the components and workmanship. PTTM can share the information available on a car and discuss any further inspection.
Year, body style, engine and specification set the starting point. A 1958 Sport Coupe or convertible, a 1961 Super Sport with the 409, a 1962–1964 409 car, a 1963 Z11 or a 1967–1969 SS427 sits in a very different market from a six-cylinder four-door sedan. Within any specification, value reflects originality and matching drivetrain components, documentation and condition, factory options and colour.
Unrestored survivors, restored cars and professionally built restomods are each valued on different terms. Compare the whole car and its records alongside the price, and PTTM can help you define a realistic search.
Registration or title documents with a VIN matching the car are the foundation. On an Impala, the cowl tag records the body style, paint and trim, and helps confirm Super Sport claims. Original paperwork such as a build sheet, window sticker, dealer invoice or Protect-O-Plate adds weight where it survives. Restoration invoices and photographs show what has been done since. Imported cars should carry their import papers, and PTTM’s Registration Service can guide European registration.
Yes, PTTM can assess your current car and discuss a trade-in towards a Chevrolet purchase. Send us its make, model, year, mileage, photographs and available history, along with details of the car you are interested in. Trade-ins are not automatic: each proposal is considered individually, based on condition, documentation and market demand.
Possible structures include equal-value exchanges and trades with a cash adjustment on either side, agreed transparently in advance.
The Impala was Chevrolet’s flagship passenger car, and its 1958–1964 designs remain widely recognised. For 1965, more than a million Impalas and Impala Super Sports were built, an industry record. Rarities include the 1961 Super Sport with the 409, of which 142 were built, and the 1963 Z11 drag-racing package, with fewer than 60 made. The 1964 car also holds a central place in lowrider culture. Individual cars stand out through originality, documentation, rare options and condition, and a well-sorted driver can be as rewarding as a concours restoration.
It depends on how you plan to use the car. A convertible suits open-air touring, while a pillarless Sport Coupe or Sport Sedan gives an open side profile with a fixed roof. The 1971–1976 cars are especially large, so check garage space. An original or factory-correct restored Impala suits buyers who value authenticity; a restomod adds modern brakes, suspension and comfort for regular use. PTTM offers both, from factory-correct restorations to custom restomod and pro-touring builds. Tell your sales advisor how and how often you plan to drive, so we can recommend suitable cars or discuss a project.
Yes. Our Personalized Car Search service can look beyond our current inventory. Tell us your preferred year and body style, engine and transmission, whether original or modified, and colour, condition and budget.
We identify suitable cars and help assess their condition, history and authenticity. 1958 convertibles, documented Super Sports, 409 and 427 cars and SS427s can take longer to find, and we will give you an honest expectation of timing. Search terms are agreed before we begin, and you are never obliged to proceed with a car we present.
Yes. PTTM works with buyers across Europe and overseas and can coordinate transport to your country. Within Europe, cars travel by road with our own trailers or trusted partners. Intercontinental deliveries normally go by sea freight, and air freight is available on request. We confirm the transport method, insurance, costs and estimated timing for your destination before you commit. Import requirements vary by country, so share your destination when enquiring and we can explain the options.
We’re happy to discuss your plans and advise on the right next steps. Whether you’re considering a purchase, planning a restoration or build, or exploring options for selling or registration.
