The 1970 Chevrolet Impala didn’t introduce too many big changes, and this makes perfect sense as it was the last year of the fourth generation and the GM brand was already getting ready to launch bigger upgrades as part of the fifth series. 25 photos
As a result, Impala only received a minor facelift in 1970, and this included a restyled front bumper and redesigned triple vertical taillights on all models.
If you want to take a closer look at the 1970 Impala, the example we have here is pretty much the closest you can get these days, as it’s a one-owner, all-original model even featuring the paint that was on the car when it left the factory so many years ago.

Yet this doesn’t necessarily mean the ’70 Impala wasn’t a looker, remaining one of the best-selling Chevrolet cars on the market at that point.
If somehow you missed the chance to buy a 1970 Impala from the dealership 51 years ago, don’t worry; here’s an example that’s as close as it gets to a new car.
It comes with very low mileage, original everything, a full history, and a pretty good condition outside and inside, so it’d be quite easy to bring it in absolutely tip-top shape.
First and foremost, it’s a black-on-black Impala equipped with a 400ci (6.55-liter) V8 engine that works exactly like on day one. The engine is paired to an automatic transmission and sleeps in a perfectly clean bay that hasn’t received any modifications or fixes throughout all these years.

Very little has changed under the hood from the previous years, however, with Chevrolet focusing more on the fifth generation that debuted in 1971 and brought us a Turbo Jet 454 V8 unit with 365 horsepower.
Nevertheless, the 1970 Impala that you see here comes with an offer that makes it really hard to say no. It features not only a super-low mileage but also the original drivetrain, the original interior, and a new coat of paint. Let’s see what this is all about.
First and foremost, the paint. The folks over at Streetside Classics, who are in charge of finding a new owner for the Impala, say the Autumn Gold paint has been resprayed at some point five years ago at a Chevrolet dealer, so it’s been made according to factory specifications. The Impala comes with a clean grille, factory wheel covers, and complete trim.
