Long story short, my xmas gift to myself last year was a 1964 Impala SS.
Numbers matching, %100 original interior, %100 original metal.
I have a build thread running for this elsewhere, but thought others here may appreciate it.
While there is no "stretch/poke", there is lots of slammage and laying frame
This is the day I went to go and look at it (hence the plate). In a heated garage with 2 dehumidifiers running. Pictures and models of the car were all over the garage and in his house (which you can see in the pics).
Hiding under the cover sleeping................
All original door panels:
all original front seats/chrome trim:
all original dash/steering wheel:
All original back seats/interior:
love that ass:
I then snagged some wheels.
13" 100 spokes. Knock off adapters with Impala chips.
the day I towed it home:
The pic doesn't show the condition of the ORIGINAL rims/caps.... Flawless.
security in progress
Tires on the rims...
It then got taken to Altered Altitudes (airassisted.ca)
2 viair 450c compressors
2 5 gallon tanks
asco Valves (8 total, 2 per corner)
1/2" lines
100-250 psi adjustable pressure switch
7" Slam Specialties bags
Digital gauge with 5 pressure sensors.
one 3/8" valve for just the tanks (so i can purge the tanks when it's parked)
mini switch box with quick disconnect
2 water traps
a few weeks later:
bling bling:
on the floor:
this is THE original carpet that came with the car in 1964. This has not been replaced. (the old man had plastic wrap on the floor, still have the original 1964 floor mats too!)
