Rare. Special. And deeply rooted in South African motoring history.
The Chevrolet Imp LDV is not simply an old pickup it is a unique local creation. In period, General Motors South Africa converted the Chevrolet passenger car platform into a light delivery vehicle (“LDV”), creating a practical workhorse for the local market. These factory conversions were built in very small numbers, making surviving examples exceptionally scarce today. Similar period South African and Rhodesian Chevrolet utility conversions are well documented, showing how unique these locally adapted workhorses were.
This particular example has been beautifully restored and presents exceptionally well throughout. It retains its matching-numbers engine and its original charm, while benefiting from the addition of air-conditioning for improved usability.
Paired with a column-shift manual transmission, she starts easily, runs perfectly, and drives exactly as these cars should smooth, simple, and full of character.
Highlights include:
• Rare factory GMSA LDV conversion
• Matching-numbers engine
• Beautifully restored throughout
• Air-conditioning fitted
• Manual column shift transmission
• All paperwork in order
These cars seldom come to market, and when they do, they are usually snapped up by serious collectors who understand their significance.
This is not just a classic Chevrolet.
This is a rare piece of South African General Motors history.
Not something you will see come up for sale every day.
