LOT #1329.1 - 1959 CHEVROLET IMPALA CUSTOM COUPE
NO RESERVE
This 1959 Chevrolet Impala received a professional
full frame-off build with no expense and time spared
by Northwest Extreme Motorsports out of Springfield,
OR. This custom Impala was featured at SEMA 2018
in the Arc Audio booth and is also a Goodguys award-
winner. Since then, the car has been further improved
and has just over 500 test miles.
It is powered by a GM 502ci crate engine equipped
with a Borla 8-stack fuel injection system and
mated to a GM factory 4L85E 4-speed automatic
transmission, all controlled by a Holley Dominator
computer. The engine has a Billet Specialties
serpentine front-runner system, custom headers
with stainless Borla exhaust and a Ron Davis
custom black ceramic-coated radiator with dual
fans. This '59 sits on a RideTech air-ride system with
a custom 4-link rear suspension and C-notched
frame housing a Moser Ford 9-inch with 3.88 gears.
The car has power steering, and stopping power is
handled by Wilwood disc brakes.
The custom red leather and Alcantara interior
features a fully wrapped French-stitched dash,
Alcantara headliner, Mercedes wool carpet and
SoundSkins sound-deadening treatment. The SQ
ARC audio system features reference 3-way front
custom kick panels with three 10-inch woofers
behind the seat and dual ARC 1000-watt processor
amplifiers with an XS power battery flush in the
trunk floor. The interior also has Dakota Digital
HDX gauges, Nu-Relics power windows and a
Restomod Air Bantom air system.
