          Last year of the RWD actually. It's a B-body so all the parts from a 94-96 Impala SS will practially bolt in. Too bad the ones with decent HP had "corporate" 403 Olds V8's. I think it needs some "engineering" assistance in the form of a Buick 350 sporting the turbo technology Buick was pioneering at that time. The 76 Century pace car actually packed a Turbo6 instead of a 455. Probably blow through carb though instead of EFI though I'd have to think about it.

          The wife's main question was "where will we park it".....

              That deteriorated into "tell the guys from the board to pass a hat for you to help pay for it" I still rather badly want that thing!

                  I always liked those...tho not as much as the boat tailed Riv's. This one would be a nice DD...I would unload the truck and drive it.

                        You just out to have my wife kill me??

                        Seriously if it was local I might be able to convince her but NY is not going to happen.
