sold for $1,000 in 1989. geez

I doubt that $1000 figure is the real sale price......probably done for tax purposes. Even in 1989, it was well known that these were highly desirable. Very cool car!

They forgot to add the most important picture.

true

Has got to be a lowball figure to evade DMV sales tax.

Looks like there are going to be title issues on this one if I read that ad correctly?

Nice car!

How cool would it have been to sit in the passenger seat of this car from Des Moines to LA with Dale Armstrong?

Evidently he had a low mileage matching convertible as well.

Crazy enough, I found the original Honolulu Newspaper ad for the 'Vert as below.
Info in ad is vague including engine size not noted but date/mileage etc correct.
RIP Dale.

Dang Pete, YOU are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would these two be the ultimate pair of 409 Impalas to have, or what?

I inquired on the convert and the dealer told me it sold at Barrett-Jackson for 181,300.00

This hardtop has been relisted for $75000, no reserve:

I would run, not walk, from the Corona Cream convertible.

You don’t like it?

Inquiring minds want to know...what's up with the vert?

For starters, that block stamping is a giant red flag.

The hardtop is back up for sale with a $59k buy-it-now.... No auction pics of the block stamp for this one.

Mark, do you have any firsthand knowledge of the hardtop as well?

No, I don’t and there’s not enough photos of certain areas to determine yay or nay. BTW, that is a pretty rare color combination and I can’t even remember the last time I saw one like that. It’s been advertised for awhile now but when it comes to ‘62’s, everybody seems to have “bubbletop” fever. I hate that word . . .
