Chevrolet 1965-1978
Chevrolets were a common sight on 1960s Australian roads and it is no surprise that locally-built Impalas and Bel-Air sedans survive in quantity. That hasn’t stopped prices surging past $30,000 or owners continuing to tip money into refurbishing these cars.
Fully-imported two-door Impalas typically cost 50 per cent more than a local four-door, with convertibles above $50,000. Once local assembly ceased in 1970, imports of North American Chevrolets continued and very good examples survive in the $15-20,000 price range.
For something different at similar money to a mid-1960s Bel-Air, hunt down one of the scarce Monte Carlo coupes.
For practicality with a classic edge in the $30-40,000 price bracket, try a C10 pickup.
