Now, I know this seems a little confusing based on the title and the cover picture, but it is not a joke whatsoever. The 1958 Chevy Impala convertible that doesn’t run and just isn’t much of a car relic to begin with is up for sale at an asking price of $35,000!
The Impala looks like it’s been to war on multiple occasions and needs so much work done on it that $35,000 is definitely a massive understatement. Personally, I think some people may have a thing for the 1958 Chevy Impala (I don’t know why), so maybe the price tag isn’t necessarily an arm and a leg.
If you’re curious as to what a nice looking 1958 Impala looks like, check the video for the actual car driven by Ron Howard in American Graffiti (SEEEEN)!
