The Chevrolet Impala, the car of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, will be sold at auction. The Chevrolet Impala was a Christmas present from Bryant’s wife Vanessa.

It is a 1963 model modified by West Coast Customs. The car has been completely restored. It is painted in several layers of a mixture of purple and blue. New glass and other details were added, apart from the chrome ones, which have been restored. The Impala has a 13-inch set of Dayton wire rims with Reliant Super Ride tires.

The interior of the car is upholstered in white leather with Swarovski crystals. The carpet is blue with the number 8 on it. There is a Sony amplifier in the trunk, as well as numerous speakers and subwoofers.

The suspension was completely changed and got a hydraulic system with two Pro Hopper “Envious Touch” pumps. The 5.4-liter V8 engine, which produces 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, has also been revamped. The engine is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Accelerates from 0-60 mph in 9 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph. New hydraulic brake discs have also been installed.

Although 60 years old, the Impala has covered only 40,000 kilometers. The car is expected to reach a value of $ 250,000.
