Check Out This 1967 Chevy Impala Riding On A Roadster Shop Chassis: Video

While ferocious speed and track-oriented performance are all well and good, there’s something to be said about a vehicle built specifically just to cruise. This 1967 Chevy Impala Convertible is one such vehicle, blending classic styling with modern enhancements to create a seamless driving experience. Now, we’re getting a closer look thanks to the following feature video.

A 1967 Chevy Impala built to cruise.

The video clocks in at about 20 minutes, and includes a thorough breakdown of the components and upgrades applied, courtesy of the folks at the Roadster Shop. Naturally, the build starts with a Roadster Shop Revo chassis, which balances the high-end construction of FastTrack-style frame rails with Mustang 2-style spindles for improved geometry and ride quality. The integrated sway bar adds to the improved handling, ensuring a comfortable yet responsive drive.

This Chevy Impala generates 430 horsepower thanks to the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LS3 engine, offering a nice dollop of straight-line speed when needed. Highlights under the hood include a top-mount throttle body and Holley intake, plus a drive-by-wire setup, all of which retain the classic look without sacrificing on reliability or efficiency. The LS3 engine is complemented by a 4L60 automatic transmission, once again complementing the cruiser aspect of the build.

In keeping with the vehicle’s classic look, the Impala retains its original exterior charm with only minor updates, such as trim pieces sourced through Facebook Marketplace. The interior also maintains its classic feel, with modern upgrades like Dakota Digital gauges and a carefully curated audio system integrated to deliver comfort, usability, and vintage aesthetics.

All in all, this Chevy Impala was designed to be reliable for everyday use, making it ideal for cruising without complications, while keeping the classic look intact. The blend of vintage and modern features makes this 1967 Impala a standout cruiser, and sure to be enjoyed on the regular.

  1. These high-dollar pro-built vehicles OK, but I’d rather read about someone who bult their own car in their own garage with their own hands. It’s one thing to just write a huge check and then brag about the car; it’s another thing altogether to build it yourself.

    1. The resto-mod builds, restorations, hot rod and custom shops keep the industry moving forward. Without these entrepreneurs, there would be no industry, parts, or market for what self-builders need. There are still many cars built in personal garages, but they need what the companies offer to get the car built right. I’ve built and bought and if you have not built one yourself and endured all the frustrations, then you won’t understand why now, at 68, I prefer to buy one already done.
