Lets see some impala's

My girlfriend is about to get an impala, we're not quite sure what year yet but we both really like the late fifties/early sixties ones. So let me see some pictures of your guys's impalas; kustoms, sleds, drag strippers, anything, lets see'em all.

 

here's my first love:

 

This is my 60 BelAir ...Im sure everyone has seen it but here it is again....Jamie

 

Here's my homies 1960 Impala..

 

here's my 65. i think the car's stance, mood, and wheel choice really match the door lock pulls that i made for it...

 

what year is that tredboy

 

1964

 

the kids just love these

 

This is what i'm working on

 

Here's my '60 Bel Air. CH

 

Here's the '64 SS my bro and I built a few years ago...



Yeah, Yeah, I know, I know, it's got aluminum wheels on it...but, if you like Impalas... it's got a lot of old school body mods...




Study it...There's a lot of subtle stuff going on there you might miss...then ask questions...

How about a '58 ?

 

NICE '58, im definetly leaning that way over something built after '62

 

tredboy that is damn fine

I think that '58 was the best year for impalas, they cant be topped when their nice and low. But 64 impalas will always have a high resale value, especially if you go with an early lowrider or bellflower style.

 

Rusty and dusty... Biscayne.

 

Jeepers Creepers...

 

my roomates old super sport

 

This post has been done before.

Ask for Impalas, and what do you get?
Bisquanes and Bel Aires.

Roger, I still think your Bro's 64 is a nicely done car, even with the alum. wheels.

I'll add a shot of my old ride.

 

here is a pretty cool impala

 

Psycho D.-That's not a REAL impala. It doesn't have 3 lights on it's ass!
Jeepers Creepers is an Impala through and through-all it's trim is on a shelf in my garage (for sale,too when I get a camera that works)

 

Here are some pix of my old Impala after I sold it, taken from www.socalcarculture.com. My only opinion, shut the damn hood/trunk!

 

here's one that we're lookin at on ebay, kinda rough around the edges but looks like a good staring point. The only problem right now, besides that fact that it's in Chicago and i'm in Nor-Cal (ROADTRIP!!), is that the auto trans won't shift out of 1st. Im not a chev guy so i don't know much about this problem, is it something i could fix when i pick it up, or is it an expensive, specialty shop kinda thing. Thanks guys

Its hard to diagnose the problem over the internet, with trans it could be anything. My 60 has a 2 speed "slip and slide", I mean powerglide. Try driving down the road in 2nd having the trans shift into N, 1st and back to 2nd with slowing down or braking. Its really hard to say about that problem. My opinion, look for something else closer. After shipping costs, California licensing/sales tax, you might not have the $$$ for a trans. My Impala came back to CA from North Dakota and I had to pay close to $450 for the licensing alone.

 

Taco-taco. Burrito.

 

Here´s my 62. Still stock, but things are about to change a bit...

 

i did my second impala's interior in all white also. i didn't have the huggy bear dashboard that you have, but i was rockin' white carpet!
it takes balls to rock a large, all white interior, you know what i'm talkin' about Kustom55. i was forever cleanin' that thing...


tred.

 

Here's what I traded to get... The body is perfect and it got a frame-off resto... some day I hope to get it together and drive it...

 

And here is the 2nd car I got as part of the deal. Barn fresh and last reg'd in 1969.
