Government releases Chevrolet Impala: ‘good old American muscle’

Every year the government confiscates cars for many reasons. These and old service vehicles are sold by the Ministry of Finance. Autovisie shows how this works in this report.

This time there is a Chevrolet Impala for sale. Through website from the government you can bid for the car. If you make the highest bid, you can take the car. This amount is not what you should pay for your brand new car. On top of your bid is a ‘buyer’s fee’ of 15 percent.

Chevrolet Impala as a car used for the government

For the true fan of ‘good old American muscle’, this is a great opportunity to purchase a genuine muscle car at a reasonable price.

Mileage looks very impressive at first glance. That’s only 45,000 km. But as is usual with these types of cars, it is an import and therefore no NAP is available. So it is impossible to say with 100 percent certainty what the actual mileage is.

The Impala is in great condition

Based on the limited number of photos available, the Chevrolet Impala appears to be in good shape. No major dents are visible and at first glance it appears that there is no significant damage to the paint.

However, the left front bumper is somewhat loose. Interior could use cleaning, but otherwise looks clean. Leather upholstery in older cars sometimes has a tendency to tear, but in this used car it appears that the previous owner took good care of it.

Chevrolet specifications

Under the hood of the Chevrolet Impala is a 5.4-liter V8. So for your money you get a real American beast. The power source is good for 250 hp at 4800 rpm and 454 Nm at 3200 rpm.

Not surprisingly, the car is quite heavy. The empty weight of the muscle car is about 1800 kg. However, the event is a godsend for the participants.
