1969 Chevrolet Impala

• The photos show a convertible, and the folding top is gone entirely, leaving the cabin open to the weather.
• The blue paint is worn away in large patches to primer and bare metal, with rust breaking out in the rear quarters and lower body.
• The white front bench seat is split and torn open with a large collapsed section.
• The white rear seats are also split, stained and torn, and the whole interior is filthy.
• The dash and steering wheel are present under heavy dust and grime.
• The trunk floor is rusted through with holes across it.
• An engine is fitted — a V8 with orange valve covers — but it is dirty and weathered, with the air cleaner missing.
• There are no underside photos in the set, so the frame and floors from below can't be judged, and no legible odometer reading shows.

Money: The $2,500 buys a rare '69 Impala convertible shell with an engine still in it, but budget for a top, trunk floor, quarters, paint and a full interior — and the frame, which no photo shows, is what decides whether it is worth saving at this price.
