Features impalas lets see em

Really cool '59! It reminds me of the AMT models we used to build and customize.

I'm surprised that nobody's posted 2 very well known "58 Impalas,
Buddy Holly's and the one from American Graffiti.
Here's the video about Buddy's if you haven't seen it.

Now that's patina...

 

Here is the 64 im working on for my dad. The car in sandblasted now and getting a 12 point chromoly cage.I hope to have it in paint in the spring.

 

here my dads 64 and the one im building now

 

Heres a 65 biscayne I just finished over the summer and sold. DAM I MISS IT!!!! 327ci three on the tree

 

This thing looks like its going over a 100 MPH standing still.

 

^^^^Oh damn!!!!^^^^^

 

Any pics or info of engine on your dads 64?

 

Great thread. I picked up a '65 this weekend. I've always wanted one of these cars. I can't wait to get started on it.

 

Here's mine: ^ 65, big block. Supposedly raced back in the 70's and 80's. I'd love to know more of its history.

 

Another photo, with new wheels.

 

My baby. Getting a full frame off starting this spring.

 

heres a couple of mine in progress

 

this car looks beautiful! I wouldn't frame off it! Just drive it!

 

Thinking about this one. I don't need another project, but it is literally right down the street from me. It is the typical 'husband died a couple years back, but she wants to get it running again soon' story. That was 1997. It was totally clean back then, now it needs a fair amount of help. Trying to come up with an offer. All of the trim pieces are there or in boxes, mostly needing some clean up. The body mounts near the rear wheelhouses are trashed, rockers are solid, lower fenders are starting to blow out. It is a 31867B VIN, indicating it should be a v8 car, which is obviously not the case here.

 

Thanks
It looks good in the photos, but the rear wheelwells are starting to go and the bottom of the rockers are pretty much gone along with some underfloor braces. It's also going to get some suspension upgrades and a new interior.

 

'63 'vert I found hiding in a shed,about 40 miles from the house.Old guy died,kid owns it,I tried contacting him,but no response.....

 

i dont have any pics, i wish i did ! he told me it was a 327ci with a tunnel ram. 13.5 compression , .557 lift solid lifter cam , 202 double hump heads opened up as big as possible. m/t alum valve covers. i picked up a vintage edelbrock tunnel ram. when i put my motor on the dyno im going to try it and see what it will do.

 

Wow! a beaut...

 

Just paid for this one. Lets hope it comes in now...
Not an Impala but a Bel Air kids can't afford a bubble so had to settle for a flat roof. More pics in profile.

 

Looks good.I like the paint.Are you going leave it on?

 

Yeah probably, I like the paint too except for a couple of areas.

 

Ttmft

 

I love these cars!!.. Thanks for the pics!
