Impala rising, very nice. What's the background to the find? Craigslist? Ebay? Word of mouth? All I've ever found in old barns are racoon turds and cobwebs.

Bill, the wagon needs those wheels. Looks badass

Ha, yup in MD, just went to lunch in HdG, small world!

The kid lives on Ontario street, a couple blocks behind Mc Donalds on 40. This guy is his neighbor. Mild 289 with a cam.

I think you are right Alex.... I think you are right...

even if you are tempting me to get your hands on the salt flats haha





what did you do to lower the car? cut a couple coils out of the springs? cuz my '66 rides WAYYYYY to high for my liking.

It was a CL find, I was actually looking for something much older for a project, but realized that the rarity of this would make it a good investment, so I jumped on it.

I cut 2 coils in the front and one in the rear, I'm running bilstein HP shocks which make it ride incredibly well.

Me Too!!! Me Too!

Old Dog beat me to it.

Though the Comet is pretty cool, too. I always wanted to build one with a Valiant driveline - yep, a Vomet!

It's amazing what can pop up on craigslist every once in a while, nice score.

I found this one on craigslist a few years back out in Palm Springs of all places



It cost me $800 plus another $500 for the speeding ticket

wooooohooooooo another impala they are now being gathered up by musclecar guys not being used to run 13 in wire rims and bouncing down the road. I got my 70 at a barn find been slowly bringing it up fun road worthy love. So far Ive rebuilt and stroked the small block, new street strip jakes trans TH350, 2800 stall, cut 1 coil up frt may go 2, rebuilt the suspension and new bilstien shocks, replaced the drivers side floor pan today only floor rust, new carpet, soon to do the rear gears and start body wk but gunna rock it as is for a bit.

looks pretty badass as it stands. It may just be a fad, but I love the worn out, patina'd, faded paint door dinged cars.


like Frieburgers charger, probably the most badass looking car ever built
