Customs Oh no, I don't need another car...

One of my good friends just messaged me and said they're going to part with their '62 Impala, and am I interested. Non-original big block, but rust free and a perfect interior.
Yes I AM interested, I have a soft spot in my head, er, heart, for '62 Impalas. We shall see what the Chancellor of the Exchequer has to say about this...
(Year, I know the paint doesn't match on the LF fender, but it's a driver)

 

The paint seldom matched when they were new, either. Go fer it!

 

Couple of different ways to go on that one. You can go low and whitewalls like Moriarty's, or slight rake with Cragars or a bit tall in the nose with pie crusts.

Either way, you are a wuss if you don't buy it.

-Abone.

 

Need ain't got nothing to do with it..........

 

Pffft.... left fender don't even match.... probably been wrecked

 

I love 62's, that car looks great!

 

Oh man !!

 

Couple of ways you can go with that...either a 409, or if you want to go faster for less money a 427

 

Buy it for her!
Surely her birthday/ anniversary/ mother's day/ labor day/ Christmas is approaching.

 

... and the Thunderbird goes on the back burner again.

 

Where were you in '62?
I like the stance and the wheel tire combo. Looks tuff.
I hope you get it.

 

Want costs more!
Need - we seem to negotiate more.

 

Did you ever finish your Thunderbird?

I guess I should go thru the whole thread before asking questions. I’m excited as after a long time I get mine on Tuesday.

 

I’d drive it

 

I say you should get it. Primer will fix the fender

 

Looks like a nice car. Just lean on that fender in the photo shoots.

 

"Don't need another car"........ oh hell yeah, you do!!!! I hope the Chancellor approves!!!!!

 

Call me if your wife cancels your purchase.

 

I can recall when I knew six guys that had one. ( 2 were conv.. )
This you in your 62

 

Had two at the same time...both 4 speeds, one with a 327", the other a dual quad 409"...yep, I'd
buy it....

 

It’s been a little over 8 hours now, so I expect you made a deal?

 

Do it Brian!!!!!
Just DO it!!!!

 

My original paint 62 disagrees with that statement.

 

You’re still that guy. You need to go to “TGA” (that guy’s anonymous)

 

I want a buff body.

I need biscuits and gravy.

 

Please post more pics when you get it home. Yes vote from me!!

 

Now that’s a beauty!
