I doubt that $1000 figure is the real sale price......probably done for tax purposes. Even in 1989, it was well known that these were highly desirable. Very cool car!

Has got to be a lowball figure to evade DMV sales tax.

Looks like there are going to be title issues on this one if I read that ad correctly?

How cool would it have been to sit in the passenger seat of this car from Des Moines to LA with Dale Armstrong?

Evidently he had a low mileage matching convertible as well.

Crazy enough, I found the original Honolulu Newspaper ad for the 'Vert as below.
Info in ad is vague including engine size not noted but date/mileage etc correct.
RIP Dale.

Would these two be the ultimate pair of 409 Impalas to have, or what?

I inquired on the convert and the dealer told me it sold at Barrett-Jackson for 181,300.00

For starters, that block stamping is a giant red flag.

The hardtop is back up for sale with a $59k buy-it-now.... No auction pics of the block stamp for this one.

Mark, do you have any firsthand knowledge of the hardtop as well?

No, I don’t and there’s not enough photos of certain areas to determine yay or nay. BTW, that is a pretty rare color combination and I can’t even remember the last time I saw one like that. It’s been advertised for awhile now but when it comes to ‘62’s, everybody seems to have “bubbletop” fever. I hate that word . . .
