Death to the person that stole that !!! I love Impalas.

I had a friend that painstakingly restored a 66 Impala SS. Worked his tail off during High School to get that car up and running. Literally the week after it was up and running and ready for the street he was t-boned by somebody who went through a red light.

Don't remember the extent of the damage, but it was never on the road again

1972 Chevelle, too young to know what I had at the time. Was in 1983. Put a 350 Rocket in it, had to change exhause and tranny to make it work. Also had to modify the shifting linkage to make it work. Great car but way to fast.

I know Paul, I have wanted to get another one to get back that body style, but the are too many $$$ now. In my day, I have had the 63, 66, 67 Nova, 70 Mach I, 71 Pontiac Sport, 64 Buick Special with the all aluminum engine all of which I sold for a few hundred dollars in the 70's. If I had them all now I would have quarter mil worth of cars.

1952 Nash Rambler that my dad parked out in the back pasture when it quit running. I pestered him for a car, and he "gave" me the old Rambler "...if you can get her running, son..." Took me and my buddies two months, but we drove it out of the field!
