so what car do you want today ?

[38P]

It's just a regular Impala coupe . . . back when they used to make coupes for the family man.

[DNut]

I'd be all over a 63-65 Buick Riviera if I found a decent one for a good price.

Went to go look at one a week or so back with Lohnes and another friend of mine, but it needed too much work.

77-9 Caprice/Impala 2dr Aero-Coupe..

Tree'd me.

[squirrel]

it's a full size, such as a 77 impala. not many 2 doors were made

. . . . but it needed too much work.

"Needs too much work" ought to be the name of the Craigslist vehicle section in the rustbelt states . . . .

Neat! Never knew they made Caprice Aeros.....learn something every day!

I had both, 78 Impala & a 79 Caprice parts car. Loved them B-cars...

Yeah, that's one of those "38 Ford" sort of cars . . .

Back when it was new . . . and real '60s muscle was still plentiful and dirt cheap . . . a Bangshifter wouldn't have been caught dead with one of those "old man's cars" . . . they had about five smog-free horsepower and a flimsy body made of pre-rusted Vega steel that had been folded like a student origami project.

But now, one of those Impala coupes would be prime Bangshifting material for Chevy fans. And in today's coupeless, unibody, FWD world, a full-frame, two-door RWD with a V8 seems like a national treasure.

But I somewhat recoil at calling a downsized '77 "full-size" . . . .


A '76 Impala . . . now that's full-sized!

[SpiderGearsMan]

76 full sized were smooth riding beauties

the 77 was a sardine can compared to the 71-76 full size models

I thought the world was ending when I saw the '77 Impala. I've hated government-imposed fuel economy standards ever since.

That time period was so depressing that I dropped all of my subscriptions to non-hot rodding car magazines (which was a big deal for a broke, car-crazed kid).

I'm in love, nice 73

I'm also going to steal that spoiler - brake cooling plus reduction of under car airflow

that vette is purpose built...you aint gotta like it, its just gotta work...I think its killer less the plexi light covers...but again...function over form

[38P]

Bitchin! . . . now if you could just figure out a way not to knock off that sweet air dam on the first curb or parking barrier . . . .

Widebody C3s are a residual weak spot from my misspent youth as a Chevyphile.
