The 60s had been a very good decade to the Chevy Impala. However, in 1969, Chevy had to discontinue the SS option on all its cars with the exception of the Impala SS 427, still prized for its powerful engine. New features with the SS line included full door glass (no vent windows) and a pontoon-bulge fender.
Chevrolet would begin switching the Impala from its muscle car roots to a luxury full size car. In the meantime, the 1969 model was able to go from 0 to 60 in 8.4 seconds, and to take the quarter mile in 15.8.
Available engines ranged from the base 427-ci V8 rated at 390 horsepower to the 427 V8 rated at 425 horsepower.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1969 Chevrolet Impala express a strong fondness for its classic style and spacious interior, often noting its impressive power and smooth driving experience. However, many mention its poor handling, particularly in corners, and the outdated drum brakes, which can make stopping feel sluggish. Despite these downsides, the nostalgic appeal and comfort of driving this iconic car remain top highlights."
Car Starts up and runs like champ. 176,000 miles and its still kicking, with a new motor and transmission, but come on, it is American made. Back then cars weren't meant to go for ever, well unless your Volkswagen... Truly an amazingly well built car, Chevys are simple and cheap to fix as well as to modify or trick out.

February 11, 2008A fun car to drive. Has some rust in the floor and the trunk, but that don't hurt anything the heat works so it ain't but so cold in the winter. Once I prime and paint it I'm going back white.
November 7, 2010My 69 Impala is partial restored Has a 396 numbers matching big block turbo 400 auto trans with open diff. The car has orginal interior split bench The car is green with green interior with a green vinyl roof. As for preformace but for tire spin accelleration is quit remarkable for such a large car.It float down the hiway like a dream. The down side even with new shocks and suspension pieces it handles in a corner like a cow with a broken leg. Body roll is excessive to say the least.As for stopping it does but very slowly because it has for wheel drum brakes. In conclusoin nice looking lots of style good ride on a sunny day.GUY
December 23, 2006ugly but ran very nice and ran an 18 sec quarter mile which isn't bad considering it weighed a ton damn near two ha ha I liked it but had to sell it because I wanted a faster and nicer ride
