The 67 impala is my favorite looking impala
You're the G.O.A.T Scotty! 😁🐐 there may never be another!
Hi Scotty
I have Ford Taurus AWD can we convert it to FWD for better fuel economy and to increase its reliability?
*The car from Supernatural*
SO WHT IS THE BEST CHEVY EVER MADE ? YOU SAID NOTHING WHICH IS WHY IM CONFUSED .
The car that saved the world. Many people don't know this
LOL....I see what you did there. 😂😂😂......don't forget the Army guy stuck in the Ash tray....😁😁

@@mengy3007 Oh yeah.....😁😁
Scares me to think that John almost bought a VW Microbus instead of the '67 Chevy.

I want PIE .....
I'll drive cuz.. Driver picks the music. Shotgun shuts his cakehole." ...
Next season is gonna be interesting.
I saw one for sale for about 2 years by a highway exit. Last time i went by the car was gone and the house abandoned. Sigh.
goessensgo yo ! 😬
Usually, 4 door cars aren't too sporty, but this Impala looks amazing.
That’s the interesting thing about this body style impala. They had 4 versions of them. You could get both the 2 and 4 door in a fastback body making them look sporty or you could get the regular body where the roof didn’t flow down making it look much more utilitarian
Six different body styles in 1967. Two door Convertible, Two door Coup, Two door fast back, four door sport sedan (no posts), four sedan (with posts), and station wagon. They never made a four door fastback.
@@williamivey1254 I have the 67 2 Dr fastback thinking I need to sell it but every time I see a 67 fixed up I keep rethinking the idea.
@@franklinmatherly4315 I’m looking for something to go all the way with. Hmu if you want a good home for it
@@SwagcabularyBoss well it's in Thomasville NC if your interested it will need some TLC and will let it go for $3,000
Beautiful Impala brother. It looks a million times better than any overpriced plastic modern vehicle you see on the road today.
Even those wannabe classic style Dodge late model ones😆😂👍🏼😎✌🏼
@@Aaron-TheHandsome Yep
Amen!
Are you sure your eyes havent crossed or fogged over because the owner can barely keep it on the road ,the " beautiful impala " was marginal in 67 so not much good today
Brad Zimmerman I'd gladly take one! Their Classic luxury cars way ahead of their time!
Back when the chrome was thick and the world made sense.
Hehe. Wise words
The Winchesters would be so proud.
Dean Winchester?
Yep!

Hell yeah
If you rode in one of those big Fisher bodied cars, you'll never forget that ride, the sound, the smells of the interiors. It's a memory you'll keep forever.
Had one; i wish I still did.
65 Chevy Impala 2dr. 283. Great ride.
SteverRob,
Right you are , the early 80s Olds Delta 88s were the last GM cars I really enjoyed.
GMs are garbage now stylewise.
Today I have a 2015 RAV4 (purchased new)and a 2005 Camry LE bought a year ago.
I really enjoy the Camry.
Yup, the camaros, trans ams, impalas, skylarks all had that same feel and smell.
Camrys are great, tough cars. My four banger is surprising quick for what it is.@@williamdorsey2029
The ultimate tribute to this car is on an episode of Supernatural.
More like all of the episodes of supernatural. Dean idolizes baby 💙 but chucks monologue in swan song IS one of the best scenes of the show
Sierra yeah when Lucifer saw the green army man chuck was talking about, he couldn’t hold down Sam any longer
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Far from just 1 episode lol js

Yessss!!!
yes omg
I was hoping for this comment
Baby
Good ear
The Winchester's would be proud 😎
Awesome!👍👌
Yes they would love it!
I had a 1979 Impala 2 door with a 305 2 barrel/350 hydramatic. My sister had a 1977, same thing and my brother had a 1989 Caprice 4 door. Beautiful cars. Reliable, easy to maintain, and took a beating. Never questioned whether it was going to start!
My father also had a 79 impala 2 door 305 2 barrel. I Love that car he let me drive it all the time once I got my license. I worked on it as a teenager with him. Easy to maintain. My father passed away 19 years ago. And when ever I see that car memories set in and I shed a tear . one day I want to buy one and fully restore it in memory of my dad.
Really you can remember that ! & now have no knowlage of how it really was
I drove my stepdads 64 impala 4 door to prom. Fun fun fun. And burnouts
Yes, and nothing went through horrendous weather like big GM cars. I had two '68 Impala's, but the car I recall always soldiering on through big storms was my '86 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser wagon. It's roots dated back beyond the '67 Impala in the video. These GM "B" body cars (1926-1996) were the best that GM ever made.
John Killey i had a 65 2door imp
I was fortunate enough to tour the Lordstown plant in 67 and watch these cars being built. Never forget it 🤜💥🤛
This is an awesome Impala. Worth restoring. 😎😎😎
All the classic cars, no matter their condition are worth restoring today imo. They are all so nice.
While I prefer 2dr sedans myself...I gotta admit...that's a pretty sharp lookin' 4dr '67 Impala right there!...& is worth restorin' in my book!👍
I can not imagine anybody restoring the ridiculous front wheel drive Impalas. They are nothing but luninas in drag. What about the modern front wheel drive Malibu? Nobody is, going to restore that anemic, front wheel drive junk. But the legacy Impala and Malibu would be incredible to restore. Not to pick on Chevrolet only, who is going to restore the new front wheel drive Dart, in the future? It is a Dodge Colt in disguise. Ford does not have any legacy names brought back in stupid putt-putts but their line up is not worth restoring, save Mustang. Will there ever be a day someone restores a focus? But the Crown Victorias of recent past may see a resto mod or two, so will the pickup trucks. Chevy's newer style Monte Carlo may see some resto mod also, but it is front wheel drive. Front wheel drive is not much in demand for restoring. The Challenger, Chargers, and Rams will see restoration without a doubt. But there simply is not much that people are going to want to restore from the automotive jokes of today. They are so ugly and flimsy.
My homegirls got a 67 on juice and pink paint
@@Mr.timecapsules eww pink lol
I had a 67 Chevy 2 door hardtop 3 speed manual transmission, Purple with a 283 engine, bench seats, your woman could get right up next to you, something we cant do with modern cars.
You're right, I had a 77 Chevy pickup and the bench seat definitely came in handy
I miss those bench seats!!
Man I miss the old body on frame cars. Definitely not going to get rid of my 1994 Caprice. No replacement for displacement.
Love, love, love that 67 Impala. That’s the car my parents had when I was growing up, and that’s the car I learned to drive on. I now drive a 2005 Tahoe with a 5.3 that sort of sounds like this Impala....sort of.😝
Great vid - thanks for the memories!
My grandpa had a 62 Impala. I wish I could have seen it in person
This car brings back lots of memories. 👍👍
My first car was 68 fastback 2 door Impailer.....307 SUX BALLZ as well as 2 speed "power slide"......dad hit it with the snowblade that 1st winter....bent the frame.....totalled.....I was BUMMED!
2nd car 74 Impailer 2 door Custom 454, turbo 400 Tranny.....10 gal/mile at 55 mph or 14 MPG at 70.....Hummmmm
God I miss those Impailers.....

all bad memories,,, happily they have been recycled into appliances
memories yeah...dad had one of these...he called it a good runner... i had my license, an got to drive it sometimes for about 6 months as the son of the owner...this was dads business
car...one night on the way home driving on a rural 4 lane road
a deer jumped and planted itself onto the right front fender...dad did not get a scratch...but the now dead deer turned the hood into an accordian, cracked windshield, broke both lights, and front trim...broke battery, radiator, and grill, alternator tore off its mount...and air cleaner was crushed by the hood damages...and twisted the frame... from how it landed off the road in the side ditch. car was" totaled" by insurance co. sad end for a vehicle the whole family really liked...fun to drive big and powerful too. every time i see one of these antiques...i wish we still had ours.
I had a '67 Biscayne.......a kinda stripped down Impala......loved it......6cyl. and 3 speed on the column.......
This was my grandfather’s favourite car, it is truly beautiful
Someone is a fan of supernatural
😏😆👍🏼👍🏼😎
Ah yes the simple days followed by smallville
Deep down everyone is a fan of Supernatural
Honestly was a fan of the 67 Impala before Supernatural but now I'm a fan of both.
Beautiful old Impala brother! Thank you for keeping her alive and well!
I agree, great sound, it is a symphony!
Thank you for the voice-over, Captain Sulu!
Sam & Dean would approve. *:D*
Jan and Dean?
Or Sam and Dave?
Ah
Supernatural
Hell yeah supernatural
Mostly dean
My grandmother had that car. I can still remember and hear the sound of that car when she would drive up to the house.👍🏻👍🏻
That Impala does sound sweet. It's also one of the best designed Impala as well.
Not the original engine that's why
I had one of these. It was pale green and had a six banger in it. I bought it for $50 bucks, drove it for about a year, and sold it for $50. It was a good car. Could start in 0 F Calgary winters and never broke down in the time I had it.
'67 Impala...the good ol' days...when men were men
Actually, I was just a boy.
@@zelphx so your over 60 years old... Danm
And women were women!
When cars were cars.
Passed my driving test in one
My dad had a '68 Chevy Impala when he was seconded to New Jersey from UK. 2 door. It was fantastic. I drove it quite a bit as an 18 year old and felt like a king!
My momma’s uncle bought a new one in the early 70’s it lasted 20 years no major repairs.
Sam and Dean would be so happy *cries in supernatural*
I got a Chevy 66 caprice 327 stock power disks brakes all around, daily driver and I love it
Do you mean that you put rear disc brakes on it ? They didn't come stock with rear discs that I've seen.
@@LionWithTheLamb yes sir I did the Conversion to disk brakes.
@Randy Jackson they are sure Comfortable seats especially with the Car suspension you hardly feel a thing.
Oh yeah the 327 ( an oil leaking ring dropper ) got to love ? it
@@bradzimmerman3171 no. not...really. I redid the motor stock to the bone no leaks. Place about 2G in the rebuild, it drives great and sound like a beast.
One of the best video stories in this series. Christian bought an ordinary Chevrolet Impala sedan from that special time period (the late 1960s) and is bringing it back to its former glory. He is following in his dad's footsteps by buying an Impala, and it's a beautiful example. I appreciated his modest tone in relating his plans for the car. Fortunately, the body and paint appear to be in excellent condition, so it won't take six or eight years. Kudos to him for buying a "foreign" car that originally came from the State of Florida, and working long-distance to get parts to make this happen in Europe. There were a few bumps and hiccups initially, but he seems to be well on his way to making it happen. He's taking his time and will complete the rest of the repairs over the next couple of years. Congratulations, Christian, for being selected, and best of luck with the rest of the build. On a side note, this car is now 52 years old, not 43 years.
The only things keeping that car from being a perfect backup car for the set of Supernatural is the decal plates. Other than that,it look perfect in an episode with Dean and Sam Winchester.
I'd love to have a 67 four door Impala. That's one of my dream cars. Drop in a 5.3, Tremec Magnum and fully independent rear suspension and have a nice vintage daily.
They actually go pretty cheap for the ones that weren't taken care of, I found an old rusty 66 for only 8 grand and I'm really considering buying it
SUPERNATURAL OHH HELL YEAH
I owned a 68 four door hardtop. I paid $625 for it and drove it for over ten years. I always considered that my first car. I absolutely loved that car. This video brings back memories.
As a kid I remember me Dad always having Impalas... he must have had at least 4 or 5
Hi Dad 😁
We fit like 8 people in it going to high school parties.
My dad had a '67 convertible. 325 HP 327! HD 3 speed on the tree. Built at lordstown with he worked. Had it ran thru the paint booth 3 times! Black with taxi cab red interior. What a car!
A 67 Impala that is right hand drive , now that's rare !
What was so nice about those cars is that there was very little plastic on them from the inside and out. They were also easy to repair , great for DIY people.
It doesn’t have right-hand drive.
1967 impala -✖
Dean's car - ✔
Dean from “Supernatural” would be proud!
My first car was a 1965 Impala, Seafoam Green convertible with white top and interior. That thing was gorgeous.
*supernatural with Sam and Dean Winchester* 😎👍 Looks like the same car from the series😎👍 awsome man. This is my dream car.
@Jeff Oliver The '67 Impala 2-dr hardtop is a very unique and classic design, but not a lot of them around. This 4-dr looks nice too. The '58 Impala 2-dr hardtop is my favorite and I owned 3 of them at one time. I also had a 1961 Impala SS, but with the high performance 348. Only 625 '61 SS cars were made and they are very rare (half of the ones seen today are counterfeits, or "tribute cars"). The "Bubble Top" '61 Impala hardtop was a one-year only car, but the same bubble top was used for the '62 BelAir 2-dr hardtop which was popular for drag racing. 1958-1964 Impalas ruled the world, and still do 50+ years later!
@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel both are nice!
When i have more than 500k this is the first thing i would buy and the rest of my money goes into it!
My father had 68, blue in color. It had a 327 2bbl and 3 speed automatic. It was a grocery getter and could not compare to the 68 Nova for coolness. I had a 64 Impala 327 2bbl. It was much more sought after. The 65 SS 396 4 speed, heavy but fast, Impala was what I really wanted, but my cousin's mom had it. When we got it, it was race time for anything we could find on the streets of Las Vegas way back in 1968.☕😎
He sounds like George Takei.
Haha! I was going to post the same until I saw your comment.
"Ohhh, My!!!"
Haha HEY NOW!!!!! HS
I posted that also, before I saw this 😅👍
Beam me up, Scotty!!!
To the new Impala owner - a big grats for it's a beauty! Will provide a footnote. Those year(s) Impala's were infamous for rust in the rear wheel wells & quarter panels. If your turning your attention to the undercarriage do yourself a favor make sure to give areas extra anti-rust proofing & possible drill drain holes (in not outwardly visible locations..) where water may collect. PS - Think water tends to get in (due to poor sealing) around the cavernous trunk. Best wishes..!
Yeah i have seen a few areas that could prove to be a real rust trap! But so far the car is rust free "except a few parts with surface rust"
And thanx for recommending drilling drain holes! I'll make sure to do so when I freshen up the cars underside this winter!
Regards Logan
At the price of gas in Europe, this must cost a crap-ton of euros to fill. 🥴
Not only the gas but the insurance too 🤑
Very true, looked into it and it’s about $6/gal when converted
Sweden, so it's Krones :)
But yeah kunu98 is right. It's around $6/gal
@@AndreasElf $6/gal!?! In the US we call that highway robbery!
@@mistermusic140 I know it's more farely priced in the US, but how much is it?
Some work colleges have to refuel every week because they live so far from work. They don't even drive thirsty cars...
1967 Chevy is a very good choice. Personally, I prefer the 1965 Chevy because of the round tail lights.
Had a 65 Belair which was basically the same as the 65 impala only it had four tail lights rather than six like the impala. Then they had a 283 small eight, but great engine, no problems with it a all.
65 then 61
my mother bought a new 67 impala 283 power glide power steering power brakes 4 door for 2600 dollars. it was a great car.
NebukedNezzer GM made Great cars back in those days .
@@johnyoung468 I have had a few chevrolets with the big canister filter. never tried to convert to spin on. stayed with canister filters.
I have a 1967 Chevrolet Caprice 4dr hardtop sedan with a 350 cubic inch crate motor that I had installed back in 2001. I love it! It's kinda like sittin' in your living room couch while driving at 65 to 75 mph on the highway. NO COMPUTERS, and no plastic crap on the engine. Hauls butt too! Very reliable transportation! Wouldn't part with it!
Supernatural Theme intensifies
*cArRy oN mY wAyWaRd SoOoN*
My parents had this car when I was a kid. The color was gold/brown. In 1970 remember going to Niagara Falls and Canada for vacation. That car ran so smooth suspension wise as well as engine wise. Since then I have never been in a car that ran so smooth on the highway as this car. The room in the car specifically the back seat was huge and allowed me and my sister to have legendary fights while listening to The Carpenters on the radio
Ahhhh. My European brother enjoying the greatness of fine American muscle! 😁 These cars were truly a specialty. Very common in Sweden too to see many muscle cars! Not a fan of Chevrolet products, but this is a great car! Awesome video Scotty!
I love the 67 impala. I have one, convertible with factory a/c. Original drivetrain. I fell in love with them when I was 16 and saw one for sale on the side of the road. I bought it and sold it like a dumb teen does. About 5 years ago I found the one I have now and will never get rid of it.
After the first time running outa gas, I'd have carried a jerry can.
My '61 Buick only got 8 mpg and had a 10 gallon tank, so a full gas can or Jerry jug is a good idea.
So you say.
Very nice impala, I got a 1965 impala ss 2 door
The best Chevy ever made:
*The Toyota Celica*
You mean the 1988 Chevrolet Nova
You mean the Chevy prisim its jist a Toyota Corolla with allot of GM body parts.
My wife drove a Geo Prism. It was a really good car (no sarcasm). Came off the same NUMMI assembly line in Northern California as the Toyota Corolla.
Move to Japan ?
Scotty I think you need to collaborate with this Impala guy from Europe and some day get him to voice over your talking in one of your episodes. LMFAO. like I always say. On your channel Scotty, there is never a dull moment.
Well, it is a beautiful car, indeed; but I'm sure it drinks more fuel than Homer Simpson drinks beer.
Fastest part of the car is the gas gauge.
the mpg is really only slightly worse then a modern full size truck
@Andy Helms That's about what my '75 Firebird gets. lol
Yeah? Problem?
My Momma had one; it was an Impala sport sedan. Greenish blue 327 CI rwo speed automatic. When she took me to buy a car it was to a Pontiac dealership & showed me a 1965 Pontiac Catalina Vertura two. At least a 389 on it and a large two Barrel Carb. Best car I ever had! AS I left the dealer driving it I pressed the gas like Momma's car and the tires screeched! What power. I miss the 60's & 70's. [ That was a beautiful car.....thanks for sharing.=) ]
No way in hell that thing passes E.U. emissions. Also when Dean and Sam come looking for their dad's car you are going down son!
theldun1 I don't think that there are any EU emission standards on classic cars.
Never heard of anybody having problems with it.
It's easy in Germany. An old car is treated as if you had the time in which it was made.
You can get an H approval if the car is older than 30 years, this saves tax.
In the UK you can import and run pretty much anything as long as it meets basic legal requirements. There are some EU regulations, but no one gives a crap about those here, most places wont even check that stuff.
a friend had a 1969 2dr Caprice with a 427 years ago but sold it without telling me. He had kept it in mint condition, no rust and everything that went wrong he had repaired . Looks like the Supernatural car on that series
The biggest defect is the second set of doors. But it’s still cool.
BOOOOOOO!
Maby he likes not having to move the front seat everytime someone in the back enters and exits
That’s the best car ever featured on your channel Scotty I love them. The tv series supernatural made this car famous again. I bet they cost a fortune because of that. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
This reminds me of Dean Winchester car from Supernatural :-D
Its the same model as they use in the TV show :)
I really miss my '75 Impala! That car never let me down. It even got me through some of the biggest snow storms when other people got stuck! Had it for 24 years. I want it back!! 😢😢
digital dash cluster?!?! are you kidding me?!?!?
Michael Garcia when he said that my reaction was “Wait...what did he just say? Digital dash cluster in 67 Impala?!!😁
Nice. Growing up, my dad had a 67 SS 396 convertible. Black/white top/white interior. Loved that ride.
I don't understand the 74 thumbs down....if you don't like Scotty or the info he hands out why are you watching the vids
Bitches is hatin
@@intracosm well....when your brain is the size of a pea its all you can do....
There are Probably Crossroads Demons or Crowley.
had this exact car many years ago with a 283 and a glide . ran it on a rural mail route ( torture ) for six years and yes it was one of the best cars I ever owned . later used it just as a snow car . became very rusty . sold it to a kid who put the engine & trans in a S-10

@@BYazeedNassar he ment the dudes voice
Funny thing is my first car was a 1970 Impala with a 350 engine. Bought it for $120 in 1985. Worked great until the compressor froze and black smoke shot out of my hood. No problem, cut the belt off and no AC, everything else worked fine. Sold it for $120 a year later and bought a new car.
I had a 67 , 283 Automatic , they were known for breaking motor mounts .
Bro I used to own this same model/year! I will tell you, never had so much fun with a car! jumping train tracks, being chased ( I wont give more details), cruising on strips, and sleeping in the back seat. man I loved my baby! so proud and happy to of owned this year of car!!!
Dracula: Driving and Loving It
I had the station wagon and it was a fierce automobile. Bought it at ten years old for $700, drove the wheels off it for 10 years and sold it for $1000. You could rebuild that entire car with three wrenches and two screwdrivers. That car was value, personified!
Thanks for the variety of content Scotty! "Keep 'em comin'"
I learned to drive in a car like this. 67 Impala with a 283 cid engine. Power steering, airconditioning, power glide transmission. Had standard brakes.
chevy made good cars?
Yes
Yes, but it was a longtime ago. 😁
One of my Dad’s rides when I was little was a ‘67 Chevy Impala 2dr with the 283 plant and the 350 transmission. Got rid of it for $50 in 1975 because the motor smoked like a tar kettle, rusty everywhere and bent tie rod was more than he wanted to deal with. I think it had only 80K miles on it which back then had reached its expiration date. When I saw it go down the street leaving a plume of blue smoke in its wake for the last time it was like saying goodbye to a family member, but to dad it was being rid of a headache and being $50 richer
Nice 4 door Chevy!
Purist go for the 2 door.
In Europe 4 door or any,Chevy is cool!
Friends of mind had those for first cars or passed down from parents.
Love the sound!
Nothing wrong with a Moredoor. Sometimes they have better proportions than the two door. On this car both look great.
@@sammolloy8129 I agree, cool times-
American cars ruled-
I always liked that Buick
WILD CAT!
Buicks were way better than Chevys for a lot of reasons. Now a Buick Laverne or whatever they call it is an Impala with a few minor body changes.
@@sammolloy8129 Had a friend who was older then, mid-thirties with wife and one child .
He was a Corperate 8 to 5 guy.
I believe it was a 72 Buick Electra beautiful long vehicle.
It had super comfortable seats.
A windshield you could see out of East to west and a awesome paint .
Appeared to be half a football field long.
Ha! Buick were cooler then Chevys in that model range.
The Riv. and the Toranado-too.
I learned to drive in a 66 impala 4 door even took the test in it in 2006. I will never forget that car and I hope to have one again.
Was that Sulu’s Chevy? He sounded like George Takei !!
I briefly owned a 1967 Chevrolet Belair 4 door sedan with the original 283 motor in 1974. I drove it 13,000 miles in the three months I owned it, driving it all around the country. It was one of the best cars I ever owned! Though it did have a bad PS leak and not too bad engine oil leak. I sold it before I shipped out overseas in the Army.
I have 1967 Chevy Impala Fastback :)
You wish.
@Jeff Oliver GM never built a fastback anything. It's called a 2 door hard top.
@Jeff Oliver
You're being too ignorant.
@@delainemaiers6788 yes they made these in a fastback !
Had a 67 Caprice 2 dr with a 396 and turbo 400. Absolutely loved that car. Drove it from Scranton to Miami and it was an absolutely terrific traveling companion, and with the spread-bore carb and a few degrees of timing, highway mileage was not bad at all for its time.
Had a Biscayne same exact body but ultra plain cheaper, didn't even offer optional radio so no cutout in the dash, when new. Had a '69 Chevelle 454 talk about raw power and torque.
Haha the '69 sounds like it could RiP somebody a new one..... Hahaha😆😂🤣😂👍🏼😎✌🏼
US Army had a bunch of these ('67 Biscaynes) as staff cars a very long time ago. And yes,they were near zero option cars???
I also later owned a Chevy Chevelle SS 1973 MODEL and a 1980 El Camino and a 1971 Olsmobile I think another Coupe like my Big Impala (Huge engine). I had a few other muscle cars as I was a frisky girl who loved them. But the car I drove about 450,000 miles having bought it pre-owned is still THE WINNER with me. It was a 1980 Datsun 200 SX Coupe. 5 Speed. Nice Gauges I learned to trust. A mechanic bought it from me STILL RUNNING REALLY WELL.
Nice video! I myself have a ‘67 Impala convertible. Nothing special... Bolero Red, 283/Powerglide with AM radio. 130,000 miles. But it’s special to me. I’m the second owner. A friend of my father’s bought it new in 1967, so I was more than familiar with the car growing up. It came with the original warranty card, protect-o-plate and years of maintenance records. He passed away in 2010, it sat in storage until his wife decided to sell it to me on the condition I show it to her when I got it running again.
I got it going after a few weeks and sent it for some minor bodywork repair rust in the quarter panels and the floor pan, drove back to her house and took her for a spin. She was in tears after the drive and said she was glad I brought it back (for the most part) to its former glory. Needs a few odds and ends, but a solid driver until I have the time and the means to finish the job.
"Comes with a giant sub in the back"
Oh Florida
My mom had a 65 model. White with blue interior. I used the back window shelf as a play area for my matchbox cars when would would have long drives. (No car seat, how am I still alive? Haha)
I loved watching the plumes of smoke billowing from the tailpipe and seeing the annoyed look on people's faces behind us as they quickly rolled up their windows.
(We didn't have the car very long...)
The European longing for liberty, one sympathizes.
Had a 68 Impala 307 auto back in the day, very reliable car and drove great.
1964 Galaxie 500 discussion over
I have a blue 64 with a tripowered 390, 4 speed, 4:11's . No power steering and a 12 gallon gas tank.
My buddy and I rebuilt a 1970 Chevrolet chevelle had the 454 we bought it for three grand, at that time it was just the body, frame, and engine no transmission or interior, I kept it for about a year then he had it four months and we sold it. That was the best car I've ever owned, so much power.
Must have an angry Woody Wood Pecker with Cigar Decal.....
Dont forget the STP sticker.

Was that the logo for thrush ? I've heard hush thrush mufflers before. It's been a long time so, I'm not sure anymore.
@@rverro8478 Yes :)
@@rverro8478 you are absolutely correct Thrush mufflers. The image of the cigar Woody is on the logo.
