rocketraider Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I've been looking for a nice original small-block equipped 69 Impala Sport Coupe. Sentimental reasons- my parents had one, learned to drive in it, etc. Seems like there aren't any left! I can find Custom Coupes (which I don't like) all day long.In over a year of casual web and trader magazine looking, I've found two. An SS427 car which is totally out of my price range as well as not exactly what I want, and a 327 car in California which is out of reach due to shipping.Didn't anyone save Sports Coupes? I know they had rust problems same as all GM cars of that era, but it's hard to believe there are none left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 70 Electra Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I've always been fond of the sport coupe roofline; it seems it has been overshadowed by the more popular custom coupe model.Would you consider a 70 instead of a 69? For the last few years, there has been a maroon Impala sport coupe for sale here in the Detroit area. It is noteworthy because it is an unrestored all-original car, right down to the factory tires, and fan belts. It has under 500 miles on the odometer, and is claimed to be truthful. The car is a 350 2bl, but (fortunately) has turbo 350 and not powerglide (I had a 70 w/ 'glide....what a slug!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
