1969 Chevy Kingswood 9 passenger Long Roof wagon is a Hot Rod

Thanks for taking a look at our 1969 Chevrolet Impala KingsWood. Given a mild redo at 50 years young, she's ready to cruise to the shows and do so in style with Nine aboard. At some point in her life, a nose job was ordered. Keen observers of the Chevrolet brand will note that the front fenders, grill and bumper are from a 1970 model. We're not sure who, why or when, but it looks cool.

The KingsWood was top of the line for the Chevrolet Impala line and sported generous options. This model closely resembled its cousins with sleek lines and minimal chrome and eschewing the acres of faux woodgrain paneling found on the Kingswood Estate models. If you wanted an Impala but needed a long roof, the KingsWood was the way to go.

We've also taken a little liberty with our interpretation of the Kings Wood. The logos are vinyl and can be removed.

Rarity

She wasn't all that rare back in 1969 but today, 50 years later, she gets tons of attention just because big, cool and comfortable wagons were traded in on mini vans and boxy little SUV's spit out of photocopiers. Being the top of the line meant the Kingswood was the Cadillac of wagons in 1969.

Comparables

These family haulers used to be in every driveway but time, eastern rust and changing tastes saw many of them meet the crusher and/or the Demolition Derbies (due to their strength). Given the extreme scarcity of available cars, this KingsWood represents an outstanding value that can be enjoyed immediately as well as being an appreciating investment in automotive art.

Please come inspect this great KingsWood before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 50 year old car.
