    This car is highly desirable here in the USA , even junk just a body and a frame would go for 10 to 15 thousand dollars
    Fully restored one goes depending on the restoration anywhere from 70 to 100 thousand dollars or could be a bit more all depends
    This one in red in this video with basic restoration still worth 25 to 30 thousand dollars all day long
    Years between 1961 and 1962 is very desirable
    Chevy Impala with 100 spokes rims would look sick
    Not to mention old man knew about rock auto which I use as well they sell parts online for USA and Canada market 😮
    Good video Sunil

Yes, Urdu English are also important but kids will learn these languages later on. I myself was brought up in village but can speak Urdu and English fluently. Love to Chacha jee for keeping his roots intact.

    Beautiful car.. and very impressed the way he is keeping it for such a long time. ... there is a another person lives in C BLOCK model town Lahore. He has the same car in a red color also convertible.. . I live in the USA now and I bought 64 impala back in 1995 for $4000. All original with 20,000 miles.. I loved it... as a university student driving such a huge car was so great..
