A man from Dubai flew all the way to LA to get the best deal on a Chevy Impala.
The gearhead had already been the proud owner of the classic car, but had to sell it on.
The car is a must-have for any serious auto enthusiast.
But just how easy are they to snap up?

Chevy is a heritage US automaker
Chevrolets are classic American cars known by everyone
One shop in New Jersey even created an Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato replica based on an old Chevrolet Malibu – how cool is that?
Plus, Chevrolet created an innovative steering wheel called the Spinner Wheel in the 1940s and it’s cooler than anything since.
However, one of the best creations is still the Impala, decades after its initial release.
The Impala is iconic
The car first bolted onto the scene in 1958 and paved the way for American autos.
In fact, the Impala became timeless thanks to its V8 engine, and the classic is a must-have for any serious gearhead.
Which is exactly why this guy flew all the way to Los Angeles from Dubai.
Youtuber Ahmed went on an epic trip from Dubai to find an Impala
He was in search of a 1964 model to add to his supercar fleet.
“I’m looking for a lowrider 1964 model Impala convertible,” he explained as he cruised round various models looking for a snap up.
He toured around and found some ‘nice’ Impalas.
His other option was to build one from scratch – but it’d mean a big hit to his bank account.
But this wasn’t his first Chevy rodeo
It seems that Ahmed was actually an old hand at finding classic muscle cars.
He explained that he already had one in Dubai but it had a few problems.
So, to remedy this, he sold it on for the car to be fully restored by someone else, which actually worked out.
His old Impala was even used by Shaquille O’Neal in a Yas Island commercial.
Talk about a full circle moment.
Before looking for the Impala the Youtuber went luxury shopping
From Dubai, he first touched down in Las Vegas, with plans to enjoy his stay. He was also in search of a new watch, visiting stores in both Vegas and LA.
All before searching for his dream Chevy snap-up at the LA Auto Show.
Would you country-hop to find a car like Ahmed?
