We stumbled across this impala as well, I doubted it was going to be for sale but it turns out it was. It was from a couple who owns a repair shop probably in their late 30's. I think she knew more about cars than her husband and it was also her car. They are the 3rd owner and it's about as solid of a car as it gets. I'm supposed to come back with an offer but I don't think I want to pay what it's worth. They really shot up in price. What you you think is a fair price ?
to me it has 2 too many doors ... to me it would be worth 1000 to maybe 1200 bucks as a 4 door car or as a good parts car for a bubble top or at minimum a 2 door build up .. it looks to have good chrome and trim and most sheet metal .. i would buy it only as a parts car ..
That's what I was afraid of, the price of those things has skyrocketed. As odd as it is, I am looking for a 4 door, the two doors don't interest me. I want one more for filling it up with passengers and going on a road trip. I'd leave the body alone and swap
the 283 for a 5.3 4l60 combo. They said they wouldn't be offended by any offer but I think my 2k offer will be close.
You never know unless you try! It's crazy how much guys are getting for rusty stuff so I could see that being a $4500 car or more. My friend sold his 63 4 door last spring for $3. But he just dumped a good bit of new stuff in it.
It seems like the 4 doors are harder to find, cheaper when you do find one but more scarce.Quote:

He pointed that out to me. My brother had one and it was kinda neat having all the windows open, It was wide open.
Gentlemen, it's a 4 door hardtop (no post) which is more rare than your traditional 4 door sedan.:3dSMILE:
Yes, I now see that you guys already noticed that....LOL!
Note to self: read all comments before responding....:whacked:
I think NADA is so far out of line that it is dumb.
Oops that post was on the wrong thread.
But- that impala is super nice.
The biggest advantage you get with the 4 door is when you get your doors blown off in a race you've got a couple spares.................
