Just Brought it home, would like input

Woke up this morning knowing that Austin is this weekend, but can make it this year. Sooooooo!!! I thought I would treat myself!! I've been wanting a wagon for quite awhile now and have had my eye on this one for about 2 months. Would love some input and ideas. 1966 Chevy Impala 396 big block, factory air, everything works, the fellow I got it from used it for a daily driver.

 

Sweet ride, man...Love them longroofs...

 

I like wagons and I like 66's. I have a 66 Biscayne, a 66 Bel air and a 66 Caprice. My opinion might be a little sided in favor of your new acquisition.

 

kool

 

This website wouldnt like my input. Id just throw some ol torque thrusts on it, retint the windows...kinda look purple, drive it.

 

I'd do pretty much what the guy you bought it off of did.

 

I do plan on using it as a daily driver, but the first upgrade and most important, I'm not sure how to get!! I've got my alliance tag from when I joined, but I want to put that on my 36. Anyone know how you go about getting a duplicate for another car?

 

lowwer it and drive it

 

Rad! Cool ride.....I'm working on a '66 Impala myself....
@ 2 jars of Roth Gang Green Metalflake outta be good for the roof....or maybe orange....he he....

 

Can't go wrong there! Good score. I should have my 65 wagon back on
the road next year.

 

Have fun keeping the gas tank filled. Big block with the air blowin', probably 8-9 mpg.

If you get tired of it, I'd be a player.

 

Bigs and bags then drive the wheels off it ...

 

Sweet !!!

 

Different Strokes! I have had many sedan deliverys and a couple of older station wagons and there very handy no matter what they say!

 

That should be good for at least an extra 1-2 mpg.

 

Paid cash for the car! Setup a line of credit at the bank for the gas!!!

 

Looks good, congrats

 

Neat old car. Reminds me of a few my Mom drove when I was a kid. Minor stance adjustment and some new rolling stock would put you in the cool cruisers cl***. Have fun and keep us advised as you progress.

 

Drive it while gas is (sorta) cheap!. Should be a lot of fun.

 

Its sweet but im partial ! Heres mine...

 

Thanks for the pics. If anyone else has pics, would love to see them.

 

Love those "Grocery Getters"! Awesome ride! Nice score!

 

...nice wagon, I'd rather have the 283 glide myself, but put some twice pipes on it and a set of grey spoke Americans and you're good to go.

 

Sweeeeet

 

Just what I've been looking for. If you ever decide to let it go and Rich Venza p***es give me a shout. I've wanted a '65/'66 big block wagon forever. Only change I'd make is convert it to a 4 speed.
Art Pylor of Lansing, MI used to drag race a 427 4spd '66 Impala wagon (bought the car brand new equipt like that) and i've lusted after one ever since.
I've got all of the parts to make the 4spd conversion "in stock"

a good set of headers and the right rebuild on the carb and dist.,and that old girl will give 18-20 on the highway.i`m ***uming it has 3;23`s in the rear end.a k&n filter and a raw egg between you foot and the gas pedal and your cookin with gas!

 

Cool car you have there... Im doing a 64 2 door wagon and have the air bags done and just put a set of polished americans on it today... I will have to get some fresh photos
