mowerman Posted Monday at 03:02 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:02 PM Both excellent choices. I also had a 65 impala convertible. I only bought it for the engine that I put in that 55 Belair. it was kind of a shame to scrap the rest of it because the body was in really good condition., chrome, grille but in 1975 it really wasn’t worth anything at all. I only paid 135 bucks for the whole car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted Monday at 09:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:37 PM My first car was a 65 Impala 230 straight 6 with a power glide. Couldn't get in too much trouble with that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM You know back in the day 6 bangers in a family car was quite common my first car was a 64 valiant with slant six 3 on the tree paid 20 bucks engine smoking back in those days. I didn’t know what I was doing. I tried to do a somewhat half ass rebuild wound up putting a rod through the block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Freightrain Posted 22 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 22 hours ago How much more simplier the times were with cars back then. Friend had a duster with a slant "tick". Friend still has his 68 stepside pickup with 6 banger. His son is finally getting started on the restoration. He has collect up a 413 and cross ram for it. Been talking about it for 40 yrs. 😆 2 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I’ve mentioned a time or two. I sold the 62 Ford wagon, low mileage one owner family car around 1990. I am still kicking myself in the ass getting rid of it.

Couldn't get in too much trouble with that one. Was just poking around looking for pewter pot and Brigham ice cream shop apparently they’re both gone. I was glad to see Land and sea was still open in my hometown don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but they’ve got the best fried clams in the world. They still carry a 4 1/2 star rating. They are very hard to get out here and find them. They’re usually dinky kind of tough and forget about the batter you’re not going to find that anywhere here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
