Starting out as a FULLY restored concourse car already by her previous restorer she was then sold to her new next fastidious & meticulous custodian who wanted to add to his already impressive American 60's/70's Muscle car collection and make this the best example of this extremely rare '66 Convertible SS Impala L35 Big Block you could find anywhere.

After further inspection following his acquisition of this highly decorated restored Impala SS L35 he felt she could be better than her current condition, mind you she was already a major show & trophy winner from her first FULL TOTAL restoration but he had an endless wallet and wanted perfection and to own "THE BEST" example in the world not only the USA of this extremely rare 60's iconic muscle car. So it began, an endless pursuit of perfection and was totally disassembled and totally and utterly restored, rebuilt, recreated, redone to be the best 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Super Sport Convertible L35 Big Block M/No's anywhere in the world and should be capable of winning any trophy anywhere for her respective category. There are receipts and invoices totaling well over US$180k PLUS the initial purchase price of the FULLY restored Impala SS.

Found and purchased in the USA by her new custodian here in Australia many years ago after an interesting/newsworthy end to her world-class restoration ownership who "went away" so his prized car collection was seized by US authorities.
