1966 Chevrolet Impala - 66_impy

Picked it up on Ebay 2yrs ago for $700... Car is an original Ohio car (came w/protecto-plate!) so it's all ate out, needs floor pan from firewall to trunk and rear quarters. Used sheet metal and rivets for that, and cut some generic carpet to fit. But the frame is good and car has original motor and trans - actually runs great and is very dependable as my second car, gets 17mpg. Just finished redoing all the brakes(drums x4)For performance it has shorty headers/glass-packs and HEI distributor. Rolling on 15" Olds Rallys. Actually drove it to work all winter (60 mile round trip)and it never failed to start even on the coldest day. I'm in the process of doing the cheapest possible "restoration", mostly just keep it in one piece because I like the car. Right now I have it painted in "wal-mart apple red floor enamel", applied with a roller. After I pack the rear fenders with some Bondo I'll go over it again in flat black, maybe even clear coat and sand it, to lock in the texture. The judges laugh at the shows and people pick at the paint.
