1964 Chevy Impala

You must show pics! LOL






My favorite that has been in the family is a '54 F100. My dad and I did a lot of work on it. It was a blast to drive with a bored out 302/headers and dual pipes out the back, C6 transmission and a 9 inch rear end with 4.11's. We also had a '66 Mustang coupe. It went from my mom, to my brother-in-law, to me. It had the body restored and all the original trunk equipment. We bored out the 302 and although I put a 4 speed in it for awhile the 3 speed was just fun to drive. I bought it 3 weeks after I married my bride. I took it to Germany where it now stays. I admit I cried when both the truck and the car got sold. All my pictures are packed.

 

My best friend in high school had a 69 fastback. It was hit in front of our apartment. It was totalled for the bent frame from that hit. A girl was speeding, made a left onto our street, and slid wide going right into the left rear quarter panel.

 

My first car was a 1969 Camaro RS. I'd give my two front teef to have it back.

 

nice. Some cars are almost too fun to drive.

 

Is it an SS?

 

My dream car (since there's NO WAY I could've afforded it then or now!) was/is the Avanti II. Orginally made by Studebaker (Avanti I, I think that what it was called--noted for its round headlights), then taken over by some private company that squared its headlights & installed some kind of high-powered Chevy engine in it.

[Not even sure if that private company is still in business any more since the last info I had on them dates back to the early 1990's.]

 

My first car was a '62 Ford Falcon. It was red with a white top. I called it Flame

 

I had a Belaire 62- or was it 65 ??? Green & White 2 tone.....NO POWER STEERING... LOL. Boy did it have trunk space & bench seats (for dates...wo wo!!!) LOL!

Years later I was a hotshot in an 85 Toyota Supra.....moon roof & black on black....quite the ***!!! Bucket seats made *** a gymnastic event.... (before salvation for the judgemental crowd)

When I was 6 years old we bought a '65 Impala station wagon. I'm quite sure a s.w. was my mom's idea, as we had 4 kids and were planning on going on a 1400 mile trip with a couple of grandparents, making 8 in one vehicle. But my dad had always been a Ford man, and I think all of mom's cars had been Fords, too. Thinking about it years later, I concluded this is probably a good example of how advertising works. My dad watched few television shows regularly, but one he watch weekly was Bonanza-- and what company sponsored that show from its first season to its last? Right, and they always branded that (bogus) map of the Virginia City area with that familiar insignia.

Anyway, it wasn't really that good a car; transmission and alternator problems, poor mileage (though that was not high priority for most drivers then). But we did like being able to move around in the back area and climb over the seats-- things kids can't do now, at least not legally. But I think it would be cool now to have a car of that era and work on it, maybe even drive it on occasion.

 

What we really want is a picture of the '64 Impala, LE. :thumbsup:

My grandpa always drove gold Cadillacs. He had a handful of them while I was growing up and I was determined, one day, to have a gold Caddy of my own. I bought a '93 Fleetwood a couple of years ago. Last summer madre and I went to a local car show. I cried everytime we walked past something we owned at one time or another.

 

Where are the pics?


My first car was a 1973 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagon with a 45 4 barrel. 9 passenger. It was appreciated by a lot of friends who did not want to ride the bus to school.

When I graduated my Granfdfather gave me his 1968 AMC Rebel SST coupe 290 V8 4 on the floor in mint condition.

 

Rev, do you have a pic of the Rebel? That sounds cool. Must have been nice. Did you treat it well?

 

It was fast. I do not have a pic of it. Wish I did. I also wish I still had it. The pic here is not of mine but of the same car. Mine was red.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

very nice!

 

Coveting. Please forgive me......raying:
