`59 "Original Lead Sled" on eBay


Not very often you find a `59 Impala with 12,000 original miles. This one, according to the description on eBay, was customized right out of the box in 1959 and was known as "Little One" during the 1960s. Quick search of the Internet doesn't find any records. Starting bid is a nickel under $30k.
My thought is that the car is probably worth the money, if it can be documented both as a low-mile car and as an ex-show car. The mods shown in the crummy auction pictures make the second point very likely. The fit, finish and drivability of the car would prove the first point. The pictures on the auction do nothing to add value, as they are grainy and badly posed.
I've sold $40 bicycles with better pictures than this!
Auction ended with no bids. Maybe we'll see it with better pictures, next time `round!

`59 Convertible on eBay

It's sorta sketchy, but appears to be a good project. Watch this one go up in value by simply making it drivable!

Original `59 Impala on eBay

Considering the age, and that it has not been touched, this is a pretty nice car. Look for more value in vehicles like this one with the 6-cylinder; they seem to survive.

`59 Chev Sedan Delivery on eBay

Here's a chance to buy one of the rarest `59s made; the Sedan Delivery isn't as rare as the fuel injected cars of the year, but it's still very tough to find in workable condition. And at $10,000 initial bid for a running car, this one appears to be a good candidate!
