If anyone is interested in restoring an old 1974-75 Impala I have a nice clean set of the original hub caps for sale on eBay copy & paste this item # in the searchbar on eBay Motors ( 260809525969 ) And if you mention this comment I will ship them for free.
worst thing with the 73 chevy 350s was they had soft camshafts and the lobes would round of causing it to backfire through the carb.Had a 73 Impala,loved it and cant find a decent one now....I think James Bond totaled them all on Live and Let Die
LOL. Only in New York. All that jagged metal would never pass the annual safety inspection here, 2 states away... still, I'm happy to hear that someone is going to restore it! The 73's were one of the best Impalas they made!
my grandpaw had a 73 impala four door,he sold it a few weeks before he died,he said that car was mine to restore but we needed to the money to pay for hospital bills,thats when my addiction started for the chevy impala
@sjnallie1982 Yea it was big inside, very roomy. The trunk was also roomy. I used to put in my 100watt fender Bassman amplifier in the trunk of that car. You didn't have to have folding down back seats. Cars were big and solid in those days.
I sold her with a sad moment but was happy at the same time because someone from brooklyn was going to restore her. I had many offers from junkies to use the car metal scrap but the car was such a great machine. It was not worthy of such a death. Any old car that was reliable should never end up in the junkyard. This car ran well till the very end.
The firs car I drove was my dads 4 door just like this (except the raised trunk and well the 4 doors) in 75 ...I was 11. he went from a 68 Galaxie to a 70 Montego MX wagon to this in the 60's /70's probably his most reliable car since I was born.Took it to Chicago in 77 from Buff NY then wrecked by one of my brothers,
LOVE THIS! the fact this guy resisted driving it to the wreckers in xchange for 50 bucks makes him one of my heroes. i respect original/restored "gems" but i'll strain my neck anyday for a true, bonafide, scummobile! used to see beaters with character all the time in the 70s and 80s but they are a dying breed. even well used, bland, beat-up, 4 wheeled pablum cars of recent vintage have none of the head turning appeal of your 73! have a black 65 impala 4dr ht and an 83 imp 4dr. kudos to ya!
I actually got one, I used to drive it and it worked perfectly...but that was some years ago....I stopped driving it when the price of gas went up cuz it was a guzzler...don't know what I wanna do with it yet...My dream is to fix it back up...Mine isn't as bad as this one...doesn't have the rust this one does
If I were you I would keep it and join a chevy car club. You may find some talented body workers or mechanics that may help you restore it. I sold this one because of the gas it drank.
However this car took me 2x without any problems from NYC to Florida and then to Maine and back to NYC.
I believe the reason for all the rust was because I live 5 miles from the ocean and the salty air along with the 4 seasons has it's toll on her.
@coololds85 I also had a 1968 chevy and went on the road with it for 3 months travelling from NY to Florida. Stayed at all the KOA'S (campsites of America) this was back in 1974 when gas was .50 cents a gallon and camping was $3.00 a night. What an amazing experience. Me and a friend who just got out of the Navy hit the road with my Chevy and just travelled every where on route 1 and 9 south.
Your right they don't make them like they used to. If they did the american auto companies would not be needing any money. Greed is the word. They make it so that it breaks down quicker.
I love these cars and i had a 72 impala custom but it needed quarters and a trunk floor, it was to far gone far gone for me cuz i was still in high school and didn't make enough money to fix it. but this car is far worse than what mine was and the only reason i would prob fix the if money wasn't such a problem is the fact that these year impalas are so hard to find
man you cant be serious. you can either scrap it or part it out. but what i cant understand is, how someone can drive a car seeing it rusting without doing something about it. i mean thats a classic. even in the far gone ninetees. i dont accuse you because i dont know if you are the original owner. but whoever was so lazy to a fine machine needs to be left in the desert.
I would agree with you about the maintenance . MY dad gave it to me in great condition. I also had a 68 chevy impala & spent some money in fixing it up. I had no garage so I parked it on the street. When that car was fixed it was stolen 2 days later. I worked in a bad part of brooklyn & this chevy was all I had at that time. It was so reliable for 35 yrs. I couldn't afford to fix it & would never junk it. This car deserves respect. .I hope this answers your question.
I finally sold my Chevy impala to a guy from flatbush, Brooklyn NY. I put it on craigslist & in 2 days it was picked up. The guy came with a flatbed truck. I started the chevy, drove it up the ramp, got my cash, handed over the title & keys. I was happy to find someone who will take care of this rescue car & give it new life. I never intented to have it junked because it ran so well & never gave me problems. My dad said it best. The car did not go to the graveyard, it went to the emergency room.
I agree with you. This car has always been reliable, loyal and a so called rescue car. I am hoping to find someone to take care of it and give it new life. Some people call it crap but they are ignorant and shallow minded. They don't see the potential like you, and others who made comments on this site. You can get of parts for this chevy from a book called Impala Bob's. Check it out
The problem selling this car is 90% who want to buy it live in Florida. it cost more to ship it. Take care
I've seen cars like this be restored to like new condition. Seems mechanically good, new sheet metal can be welded to restore the bottom, the doors can be replaced with better units, upholstery can be recovered.
I hope whoever gets it doesn't donk it or put dubs or demo derby it...it should be restored to factory stock and driven like a big comfortable cruiser that it once was.
Sad that people like you have no value for a car that provided good service should end up being junked. People who love classic cars would never junk them. That's a code of ethics we have. I guess your not one who value's beauty of the past. To bad you have no idea when it comes to potential.
I get a laugh of all these people that want less than 495! That car is well worth the money just for the engine, and trans! Somebody could also make a few bucks selling a few front end parts on Ebay along with the instrument cluster.
Your right, people expect everything for nothing. They want it all and don't realize the value of what is really being sold. This car for parts along goes more on ebay. The engine is so quiet it sometimes amazes me. Anyway, it good to know that people like you recognize these things. Have a good weekend.
I'm in the process of selling her. I have to wait until 2 weeks after the new year for finalization. Once done I'm taking price off car. Thanks for asking anyway.
reminds me of what my 66 Impala conv looked like when I found her in lindenhust in 1996. Since I've almost completely rebodied her and have shown her at almost every show at Belmont, and all over LI the last few years. I'm proud of her. If your realy want to sell her make sure she's going to someone who will restore her. If you decide to keep her and fix her up your self let me know. I can tell you were to get rust free or replacement body panels
I remember the 66 impala's & the convertibles were beautiful.I also had a 68 chevy impala. Fantastic cars. I would still have it if someone didn't steal it. I was offered $300 for my 73 chevy to be junked but I would never do that to this car. She was always a reliable car. Everyone thats interested in buying her is from Florida and Virginia.
It cost more to transport the chevy than to buy it. I am only interested in selling to someone who can restore her.
I would love to have it. Beautiful car, even though it needs quite a bit of work. Goes to show, these old Impalas last forever. Too bad the new ones aren't built this well.
how much did u sell her for. let me know so i know how much around they cost at that condition
