This 1958 Impala was featured in the 1972 'American Graffiti' film. The current owner pursued this car for years, finally acquiring it in 2015. He got it from the party who originally purchased it from Lucasfilm immediately following production.
The Evernham team went through the movie frame by frame making note of every detail. The white Impala was disassembled down to the bare chassis, and every aspect of the car was documented, restoring it as it was seen in the movie.
The original engine did not come with the car, so a 327 with 6 Strombergs was installed, just like the one used in the movie. A dent in the body on the driver's side near the rear bumper remains as a testament to when the actor forgets the car was in reverse and floors it into the car behind him.
The car is as close to the original movie condition as possible.
