by In Ukraine, on AUTO.RIA a Chevrolet Impala was listed for sale, which the seller describes as a 1966 Impala SS. For the classic American coupe with a 5.4-liter gasoline V8 and automatic transmission, they are asking $59,999, or UAH 2,714,955.
There are discrepancies in the listing. In the vehicle card, the car is indicated as a 1975 Chevrolet Impala, while the seller calls it a 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS. Kyiv is listed as the place of sale. The stated mileage is 48,000 km.
Chevrolet Impala SS received a 5.4-liter V8
According to the seller, the car is equipped with a 5.4-liter gasoline V8 producing 300 hp, an automatic transmission and air conditioning. The body was manufactured by Fisher Body. The owner characterizes the car’s condition as good technically and aesthetically.
At the same time, the 5.4-liter engine is not proof that this is a fake Impala SS. The 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS was produced not only with the 7.0-liter V8 427, so the absence of precisely this engine does not in itself disprove the authenticity of the SS version.
Chevrolet Impala price has approached $60,000
The listing states two owners. The last registration operation was carried out on June 13, 2019 – the car was re-registered after conversion, indicating a change in engine type and power.
Thus, the available AUTO.RIA data do not allow unambiguous confirmation of the factory specification of the 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS. This requires verification of the VIN, factory codes and the history of the specific car.
