This is the 65 Impala SS. 383 4 spd. Last spring it got a new nose because of a idiot driver last Christmas. I got it back together and rattle canned it low gloss black just before Car Craft's Anti-Tour in April where it ran horribly 16.05 @80 mph then 15.35 @81.50 mph. UGH!! I did some retuning and ran 14.65 @95.17 mph at Sacramento Raceway two weeks ago which redeemed me somewhat.
My other car is the luxo-muscle-barge, a 70 Caprice Coupe with an LS4 454 (345 hp), th400, discs, 12 bolt, rallys and a whole bunch of rare options. I found this at a local salvage yard for $2000 pretty much the way you see it here and drove it home. The engine is still unrebuilt and has a nearly flat cam, but still runs great and pulls hard. I added a Holley 3310 750, a Pertronix unit, 2 1/2 inch exhaust with Summit's big Turbos, 100 one wire alternator, AC runs on 134, and I just spent the last month fighting with a new steering box, pump, hoses and coupler.
