Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I am still looking for the 68 Camaro my dad raced in the Trans Am Series back in the day. Last I heard, it was a dozen or so years ago, it was on the west coast. They still are wanting his log books to go with the car.
Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I actually preferred the 1967 Impala SS, but all of the mid 60's Impalas had style.
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I had a 63 Impala 409 4 speed . Indigo white with black dim tucked inter. I sure do wish I still had that car.
Warden Callaway Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 My first car was a blue 65 Impala hardtop but not an SS.
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I had a '64 QB 425 hp 409 with the big 4spd. I'm rebuilding a Jeep pickup like my dad had when I was a kid.
Warden Callaway Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I showed the video to Mary and asked her if it brought back memories. She said the only car she would like back is the 72 IH Scout II.
DocWard Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I have to admit to preferring Ford and Mopar, but I don't buy into the whole rivalry thing. I've seen some GM muscle and pony cars that I would love to own. Heck, I'm equal opportunity, I would like an AMX as well! That was an awesome Impala and a very cool video, though. I can think of two vehicles I would like back, even though I wasn't the original owner of either. Both were gifts from the original owner, and neither were muscle cars or pony cars. A 1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE, and a 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 My first one was a '65 Mustang, Vintage Burgandy/black interior. 289, 2 bbl, three on the floor. Had an AM radio with a rear speaker with a factory reverb unit. Don't know if I'd be able to sit in it now,though
Texas Lizard Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 My first one was a '65 Mustang, Vintage Burgandy/black interior. 289, 2 bbl, three on the floor. Had an AM radio with a rear speaker with a factory reverb unit. Don't know if I'd be able to sit in it now,though Getting is easy...Getting out is the problem... Texas Lizard Do miss my 66 Dodge Charger, fast back and fold down back seats...Did save on room money...And gave a view of the stars...
Warden Callaway Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 My cousin had a new 66 Mustang coup with straight 6 and 3 on the floor. One evening he, his younger brother went to ride around town. We ran into a girl he knew and it turned out she was having a pajama party. We picked up five girls and road around all evening. 8 total in a Mustang coup.
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 That was a tight squeeze! Of course, kinda beneficial once you think about it
Warden Callaway Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 That was a tight squeeze! Of course, kinda beneficial once you think about it One of the girls dad had a 63 Cadillac Fleetwood. We'd hang out and go to the drive-in in the Cadilac. I dated one girl for about 6 months. Then I made the mistake of dating one of her friends ONE TIME. My free ride ended. I was voted out of the club.
Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 My cousin had a new 66 Mustang coup with straight 6 and 3 on the floor. One evening he, his younger brother went to ride around town. We ran into a girl he knew and it turned out she was having a pajama party. We picked up five girls and road around all evening. 8 total in a Mustang coup. That's my 1st car. Bought it in 78. Was fun but it was the most awful car for a Iowa winter. Next car was the one I would want back, a 72 Buick Skylark Suncoupe.
Chili Ron Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Howdy, I feel that if you own a car long enuf you get it out of your system. Ive had several that were quite fun and I don't want them back. I had em long enuf and that's fine. But my 64 impala convertible, I would love to have back again. I only had it about a year, not enuf not hardly. Best CR
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Dad , had a Impala SS , white , 2 door , with red int. I just can't remenber what year it was 63 to 65 , but I get the grill in my ming to date it CB
Warden Callaway Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 There was a big body style change with the 65 model. The 65-68 look a lot alike. 65 had three round tail lights. The 66 had a single rectangular tail light assembly. The 63-64 design was more boxy looking.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Gonna have to look it up , didn't the 3 and 4 have 3 round tail lights also ? also had the 375hp , 327 in it makes ya wonder , if that is why I built my first pu into a hotrod 327 , 11to1s , 2.02 valves , 0.98 Isky cam first car was a 65 Chevelle Malbau wagon , 220 hp 283 CB
Warden Callaway Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The Belair and Biscayne had two tail lights (each side), the Impala had three.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 After looking it up , I am thinking it was a 1963 , been too long to be sure Dad , has been gone over 10 years , and it was 40+ years ago don't guess it matters much , just disapointing I don't have perfect recall in this case CB
