65-66 Impala reference pics.
I prefer the 66 for the side molding & tail lights - My 66 also had a front bumper guard option that wasn't on 65..

 

miss you baby!

 

‘70 LeMans?

 

yessir, LeMans Sport. but the only thing LeMans or Pontiac about it is the body and frame, that's it.

 

My Cousin's 65 Impala SS 327 4-speed. We took it from Minneapolis to Springfield Illinois for the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals back in 1983, he's had it since high school probably 1977.



Nice Plymouth Truck sitting next to it. Just noticed the tail lights on the Truck are '63 Plymouth Fury.

 

I see that now. sorry 'bout that...must have been all the black. A local guy had a really nice '67 a few years back. It was a black on black Biscayne 2-door post car with a 396/M-22/bench seat combo.

 

I remember seeing SS cars going for 5-700 bucks back then as few wanted them. Camaro's Chevy II's,and Chevelles were hot. 62-64's were priced about the same. Nobody wanted those "boats".

 

I seriously considered buying this '66 on airbags for 16K before I bought my 2015 Taco, it sounds like a strange alternative but I have an '03 Taco that I drive for work and I just needed a daily (after work) driver.
I really like the contrast of the vinyl top, you don't see the vinyl too often either..

 

My new project/baby I call her Big Red

 

Have seen this truck in person (hey brother!) I can only say that those wheels are worse in person.

 

Hey Cap!

Yea those wheels gotta go sooner or later

 

damn man, you & me are close like brothers. my next step was to take one of those hoods and modify it for the LeMans i posted. never got that far tho. sold mine to an AF metal fabricator who was super excited to have a completed resto, just needed new custom body panels. that sale kinda worked out perfectly.

your pic there is my second dream car as far as Americans go.

 

I bet nearly no one at the show knew what this was when they were walking up. I LOVE these!
