Paul, almost 3 years ago now I bought my neighbor's 67 Impala 2d sport coupe 327 with a glide. Bench seat, Bolero Red, black interior and black vinyl top. NON SS Car.
I was not real sure about pulling the trigger with buying this car but due to the circumstances around it I could not pass on it. My neighbor was the original owner, had the POP and other original goodies for the car. The car was unrestored, original, low mileage, #s matching and not driven in the inclement weather.
For the price he offered it to me I could not pass it up. I also did not intend on buying it to flip it due to my relationship with my neighbor. But I have to tell you after buying it and driving it I absolutely love this car. I have always been a Nova/Chevelle guy and was not certain myself on the big car thing.
I get tons of compliments on the car at local shows and you don't see many of these around. People mainly drove and junked them. I call it the "rolling red couch" because it is so comfortable and fun to drive. And I hate to say it but sometimes I have more fun with this car than my Nova or Chevelle.... My Wife and I will jump in it on some summer nights and go get ice cream in it..
Sounds like a cool car your looking at there.. I think you would be happy... One thing I would do if you bought this car is "86" that steering wheel. It's obviously not correct.
Good Luck...
Rich
