    Oh my god, what I wouldn't give for that car! It's the exact same one my mother used to drive when I was little. Same color, same year, same sound. I love it! This video made me feel so emotional, remembering riding around with her. She passed away over thirty years ago. I miss her, and I miss taking rides in that car!

    I bought a 1969 Impala about a month ago. I live out east so the car is in storage for the winter. When I was a kid we were kind of poor, lived in a trailer park next to these broken down houses. A lot of mexicans lived back there and they were always making lowriders and hot rods. The Chevy Impala seemed to be a favorite. Spray paint for a paint job, seats from the junk yard ( Ive seen a few with milk crates used for the passenger seat.) But as a kid coming of age these are the cars I remember. The classic car dealer I bought it from told me it was sold at Yenko Chevrolet. It was not a high performance model. Has no paper work so I cant verify but it did come with a factory four speed and a 327. It was lime green with the black vinyl roof. Im of course hoping it really was sold at Yenko, not because I want to pass it off as a high performance car but because of the history of that hot rod dealer. Anyway still has the four speed and they put a 454ci crate engine in it. Has the high rise manifold and headers. It is painted cream color with a stripe on the sides and lots of gloss. If it did not have the stripe it would look like a sleeper. I had it checked out by a mechanic as well as a classic car expert, well worth the money to do an inspection on a 50 year old car. Im told it has 500 horsepower which is more than enough. I cant imagine myself needing more than that on the streets to cruise. I also took it for a test drive and man its like being in a mosh pit at a hard rock concert, the car shoves you in your seat when I accelerate. In fact the car scares me a little. Hope I get used to that power. I just love the impala.
