Looks like a great car. I grew up in the late 60s. In that time, the Chevelle 396 SS was king, at least in our town it was. But I tell you what, there was just something special about a big ole Impala in those days too. Had a buddy that had one. An Impala 396 SS, boy would that thing fly, for a big car it was fast. Ahh I miss those days... Make it pretty and make some good memories with that car. Good luck!

As we say in Australia- you are like the boy with barrow, you have the whole job in front of you. I know this model pretty well and it could be a great project when you are done.

I had a 1967 Impala SS back in the early 1970's. It had the 327 with a Q-jet, a Turbo 400, yellow with black vinyl top, black vinyl interior. A rust free Texas car, not a power house but lots of fun to drive and my first car with bucket seats and console shifter.

Wow an SS, must have been a sweet ride! Indeed, the 327 isn't crazy powerful, but still very usable & fun!

@@TheJimle67 As you know, those 327's would revv ! Prior owner worked in a transmissions shop so most likely he installed the TH400. My next car was a 1966 Chevelle SS 396, painted a burnt orange. That was my real street racer . Back then you bought these cars off the used car lots for $ 600.00 or so.

My favorite year Impala. Nice find!! I bought a 58 Bel Air with another parts car in 2018 and frame off restored it in 18 months. I still wanna redo the seats myself if i ever get a proper sewing machine. Its always something to be done. Enjoy your Impala!!

I bought a 67 Impala SS, 396, 4 speed, in 1976, at a used car lot. It had a rod knock, paint was checked, nice body and interior. $295, roughly $1500 in today's money. Believe it or not, I overpaid for that time, LOL.

Great choice for classic car. May be the best. Chevy so you can get parts. Full size do it’s comfortable. That fast back looks great. You have a great classic salvage yard in Denton. Purchased my current project from them. Good luck. Don’t get frustrated. Take your time.

​​​@@TheJimle67there's company's that sell the corner light lense and chrome cage that goes over the lense but no company sells the housing for the lense it looks like ur car has the housing behind the filler metal if u do u can buy the lense n cage to put on there's also a small bracket that is sold also if u have the housing u can make it have the corner lights just by buying the lense chrome cage and the little bracket all is sold except the housing if behind that metal filler is a housing for a bulb your in business. There should be 2 spots for 2 screws one at the top n one at the bottom to hold the cage that goes over the lense. If u do have the housing chances are u already have the little bracket all u need is the lense n the chrome cage n of course a bulb.

My parents had a similar car, but it was a powerglide and 283, my grandfather gave me his 67, it had a straight 6 powerglide. I hope you are leaving the 3 speed bolt action, not many cars around like that now.

Why not just order a nice pair of bucket seats and put a console in the car?
@TheJimle67
@TheJimle67 6 ай бұрын
It's not as easy as it sounds. Most stuff on the repro/new market is catered more to A-body chevys, camaros, & corvettes. Full size B-body bucket seats are slightly wider/larger & (from my knowledge) can be bought only used. Also Bench seat cars require additional mounting stud plates welded to the floors for buckets to be installed. For ease & budget, I happily stuck with the bench seats.

My 1st video shows the engine, transmission was fine. Yes, more videos in the future on the other stuff. Definitely, the previous owner (though a nice guy) had no idea what he was doing. Lot of car looks caked in filler. I was too ambitious when I bought this one

Trust me I know. I tell people the same thing, to either non car people that want a classic or those thinking they can flip them. You have to love these cars enough that its worth going over budget, 3-6 months passed schedule, & still going after loosing all motivation. Not to mention the time researching.
