Re: Show us your Classic or Unusual Auto
We(my dad) own a 1967 Chevy Impala SS.<br /><br />Its a sleeper, we still have the stock motor wirh only 19,000 miles on it. <br /><br />The car is now powered my a 650hp drag raceing motor. It will run a 1/4mile under 7sec's.<br /><br />Only thing thats not stock is the motor and rearend, it got snaped on the drag strip the first time my dad stomped on it. It was bought for 22,000 with both motors. The orignal motor is under the steps in our bastment, sometime the the near future it will go back in the car and be sold. The car is worth more with the orignal motor.<br /><br />The prolbem with the car is its not ment to handle the kind of power its got in it. My dad says he had it alittle over 140mph on the highway one night and he had to back off because to much air was getting under the car, it it was not for that it had more in it.<br />No picts on the computer now, I'll try to get one tomorow. Its a nice looking car, but for a classic I'd rather he get a pretter one, with out a hardtop. This one is black on black with black vinle seats.<br /><br />We only took it out twice this year, it won 1st in both shows it went to.<br /><br />I'll get some picts and info on the motor she's got.<br /><br />BTW, <br />its never been repainted. We put a clearcoat on her, but not new paint. She looks great, not a single scrach.
