I watched the Supernatural series, and one of the main characters was a 1967 Chevrolet Impala four-door Hardtop. My buddy in high school drove his dad's 65 Impala which was immaculate.
Sad thing is my dad had a 67 Impala SS convertible and like a roob he traded it for a browning compound bow. Which could be had for 25$ the car with it's original engine was worth 20x that.
Yes, it needs a 6.2 L LS with a six speed manual. You should put a Camaro rear end to be able to hold the horsepower. I like the idea of putting clear gloss over it.
Give me the old simple mechanical components over electronic six days out of seven. I have had my own body shop since 94 with the last 15 years being all about restorations. Yes eliminating points with a simple magnet set up is good but carbs are simpler to set and tune than complicated electronic fuel injection. I understand if you are looking to pull big HP numbers out of an engine without major money being dumped into it an LS is the way to go but for a simple daily driver during summer months and if you do all your own work stock is the way to go. For most of these cars you can buy rear quarters, floors, drop downs, tail light panels and so on. I would go 283 but for some odd reason I just love the power you can pull from the small engine with a little work. I had a C10 with a nice 283 that was a dream. Good luck whichever way you go in building your dream car. Hope you get some seat time before gasoline's gone. BTW they now make bolt on electric motors that attach to common transmissions allowing you to use standard or common overdrives. This will allow these old classics to have another life after gas is gone.
I have been a Ford man for as long as I can remember but one of the 1st cars I owned was a 1967 Impala convertible. I loved that old car. Mine was blue with blue interior like the SS you showed. It had a white top and all the molding on it like that too. It was the 327 double hump motor and a 400 trans. Kept it for like 20 years and finally let it go

I had a 1967 Impala SS with 396 when I was in high school, was stupid as I traded it for a truck. Had AC, electric seats. Loved that car. 😊😊😊😊
Darn I had a 67 4 door in that same aqua blue patina.

I would love that!
That restored Impala was awesome, I'm sure the one you're building now will be just as cool. It defiantly does need an LS.
5 speed
There are a bunch of people that would like to build that 67 station wagon
And I'm more of a 67 Malibu person but I also like the Impalas and Chevelles and you name it
I can smell those seats! Get after it I want to go for a ride!
The passenger door on your SS looks to be from a 1968 Impala convertible.
Yeah , I’m curious if it’s a 68 or caprice
My first car was 1969 Impala with 350,350. At 65 it would get 20 miles mpg

I love the way you said don't ruin the wagon just for the fun clip.

Paint them, patina is okay for a rat rod that is a lot of old mixed parts but not a car you give a damn about.
You can order that floor pan for the 67 SS
67 4 door no post is probably more valuable than the 2 door now
excited to see how it all comes together!!
Ls it
