1. I have my $687 tax return to chip in
That is, when I actually get it. Damn, that's one fine vehicle!

3. I sent the link to my Dad
:hi: If he has the money, he'll buy it ASAP! I think its his dream car. He raised me to have a healthy respect for the classics! :wow:

4. My dad owned a '66 Impala SS when I was born.
I owned a '66 of my own for a while, but it was beyond my skills to restore, so I sold it. It was a 396, though. :7

5. My dad was once the proud owner of a
1980 Cevrolet Citation :rofl:



We still tease him about that choice

7. But what's worse is I had to drive it
in 1995 when I crashed my car. By then the rust sposts were the size of softballs. I was the hottsest girl in high school that had the ugliest car! :blush: All the really hot girls had cute cars! :puke: So, are you really going to by the 59 Impala?

8. I wish I could buy that Impala.
I don't have $8400, and if I did, I'd spend it on my house. If I had $20,000, I'd consider it. ;)

9. Wonder why only $8,400
It's either been meticulously taken care of or very well detailed. (Look at the engine compartment.) I'd expect to pay $20,000 or more for a car like that in that apparent condition.

10. I vote for detailed well.
It's probably an older incomplete restoration that is showing some age. Just a guess, but I'll likely never know.

12. Wish I could see it more closely
to see if it's a resto or a garage classic.

13. Well, supposedly it's local.
But the ad seems to have disappeared from the listings...although it's still hosted. :shrug:

14. I think if 8,400 of us contributed $1.00 that would do it.
Or perhaps if 16,800 of us contributed .50 that would be good too.
