Wow, thanx for the run down Paradise Rd. I could almost hear that 427 winding out. I saw that movie 8 times the first year it came out.

 

i grew up in vallejo and knew where the 58 impala was stored in a garage, years later my good friend at work told me the story about when they went to buy the 58 impala for $300, and after buying the 58 they were offered the coupe for $1,500. the 58 was for sale in a local newspaper and they went to a warehouse in petaluma to see it, the seller told them if you got $1,500 you can have the coupe. but he told them they would have to show some cash before he would open the door where the coupe was stored. they said they would come back but never did,

 

also a few times i did get to talk to the owner, and knew his name, so i questioned my friend about who he went with and he said his brother in law and brother in laws cousin and knew the name of the owner, that convinced me that he was telling the truth. also i remember he told me the seller told them these cars are from a new movie coming out,
