Nice to find this website since I just added a '58 Impala to my eclectic car collection. The now-deceased owner's widow had little documentation, but it apparently wasn't driven since 1992. That's when the California "title only" title was issued. She said it has been stored inside since and was repainted in the original Snowcrest White (which is still flawless, as is all the chrome and stainless). It has a 348 with tri-power, 3-speed with overdrive, positraction, fender skirts, continental kit, manual brakes and steering. The interior is trash and I've ordered a new turquoise one from Ciadella Interiors. I'll also be adding power brakes and steering. I have drained all the fluids but haven't started the engine yet. I'm optimistic that the engine has been rebuilt because its components were all separately painted before a new gasket set was installed. I'll be doing a minor tear-down to confirm that.
