Revolutionary in design and fierce in appearance, the 1958 Chevrolet Impala LS1 Restomod represents the birth year of an automotive icon. Victory Red paint flows over the dramatic fins and sweeping lines of this frame-off restoration, bringing the landmark body style into sharp focus. The meticulous restoration maintains every significant styling cue that made the first-year Impala instantly recognizable. Premium 17-inch Boyd Coddington wheels wrapped in 225/50ZR17 tires create an ideal stance .....
while complementing the flawless chrome bumpers. This two-door hardtop combines the unmistakable silhouette of '50s Chevrolet design with carefully selected modern upgrades for an ideal blend of classic aesthetics and current technology.
Luxury abounds inside with custom tan leather upholstery crafted by Jerry Crawford of Newnan, GA. The expertly trimmed low-back bucket seats offer superior comfort during extended drives, while the specially designed center console adds both visual appeal and functional storage. Dakota digital gauges blend vintage styling with modern accuracy, displaying crucial information without sacrificing the period-correct vibe. The leather treatment continues into the trunk area, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of this build. Modern convenience comes courtesy of the AM/FM single CD player with AUX input, allowing for soundtrack options while maintaining the classic dashboard appearance.
Performance comes from a potent LS1 5.7 Liter V8 engine utilizing electronic fuel injection for reliable starting and consistent operation in all conditions. With approximately 7,700 miles since the drivetrain installation, this combination of modern Corvette power and 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission provides exceptional reliability and driving dynamics. The suspension system features tubular A-arms, coil springs, shocks, and sway bar up front, while the rear utilizes a Global West kit with QA1 coilovers and panhard bar for superior handling. Four-wheel power disc brakes offer modern stopping capability, and shorty headers feed into a dual aftermarket exhaust system for a perfect performance sound.
