A 1963 Chevy Impala that was gifted to the late Kobe Bryant by his wife Vanessa is currently being auctioned off by Goldin Auctions at its ongoing Kobe Bryant Hall of Fame Announcement online sale.
Vanessa Bryant gave this heavily customized Impala to the basketball icon as a Christmas gift back in 2006, enlisting the help of famed Los Angeles shop West Coast Customs to transform it from a run-of-the-mill Chevy into a one-of-a-kind lowrider.
West Coast Customs, which is perhaps best known for its association with the MTV show Pimp My Ride, stripped the rust-free Impala body down and sandblasted it to the bare metal before covering it in a shiny paint mixture of purple and royal blue. The shop also refinished the chrome exterior trim at this time and installed new glass, moldings and weather stripping.
