1975 Chevrolet Impala

400 V8. Very heavily optioned for an Impala: power windows, seat, locks and tailgate; bumper guards and rub strips; factory wires; tilt and cruise with A/C too. No 3rd seat and, interestingly, no remote control for the mirrors. Biggest downside is the bondo-looking quarters.

Seller says he has a low reserve.

 

We have seen this one before. Under the doors looks "odd" and appears to "wave". Quarters appear the same way

 

Already bid up to $2500 with reserve apparently met. It had no bids when I posted it less than 2 hours ago. I'm noting even more options: the Econominder Gauge Package, tailgate window defogger, intermittent wipers (new option for '75) and it did apparently originally have dual remote mirrors - you can see the toggle switches. (Too bad about the body problems.)

 

Yes jwdtenn, I noticed that too. This Impala appears equally optioned as my '75 Caprice was. (But don't those wheel covers belong to a '76 Caprice?). Bummer about the body and dash (cracks). Regardless, this car still has potential! Hope it's going to a caring home!

 

Looks like from the '75 brochure that the wire wheel covers were optional on all the full size models.

 

I keep forgetting how easy it was then for one to custom order/pick options. My '75 Caprice did not have the wire wheel covers, but my dad's '76 did.
Thanks for the info!

 

Wow, that is high optioned, especially for an Impala!

 

Ok, I think this was the original thread for this '75 Impala wagon from last August. It was priced at $2500 then apparently. Unless the underside is really, really terrible, this loaded Impala looks worth saving! It is really loaded!

I would love to have this wagon if it was rust and bondo free.

 

Id be an interested buyer if the quarters weren't in such a mess....leads me to believe others parts without close up picture could be the same..

 

This one really does not look all that bad considering a lot of the cars here. I've certainly seen a lot worse on the road! I'd HAD a lot worse on the road. A bit of tlc, and if someone is good with body work, those quarters could be fixed without too much hassle, this could be a great car.

 

One would never know until the mess was ground off....likely not pretty with lots of holes.

 

Look at the rust in the door frame. That tells you this car IS rusty, and there is a TON of BONDO in those quarters

 

Yup, this wagon may just not be worth it, I'd pass...........

One good pot hole on a frozen day the rear quarters mite just crack off

And then the other crust issues you know you are gona be opening a can of WTF did I buy. Drive as is beater, but not for the over $2k the bidding is at IMO. Have to admit, seller is honest to show this bondo crust.

You know it's on thick, when it cracks like that.....
