Wow, you must have got a lemon, as my Impala Super Sport, being 57 years old, gets very good fuel mileage, considering the fact, its a big block 348 with 350HP....

I must have gotten a lemon, also, with a '64 Impala that had a 283ci V8 and Turboslide transmission. Had to have both the engine and tranny rebuilt at about 50K miles. The engine would overheat all the time in the summer no matter what I did to it and would run freezing cold in the winter. This was even after the engine rebuild. Before the rebuild the pile of crap would leak a quart of oil in about 50 miles.Wow, you must have got a lemon, as my Impala Super Sport, being 57 years old, gets very good fuel mileage, considering the fact, its a big block 348 with 350HP....

Beautiful. My older brother had the exact same model in the same colors in 1963. (It was a used one in great condition.) I would happily drive it even in cold weather with the top down and the heater blasting. I'd freeze my nuts off but it was worth it to feel the wind in my hair. My family always had a love of ragtops. I've had four myself and currently drive a fourteen year old BMW 330ci. I still freeze my nuts off but who cares. I still have my hair.

A clean machine! Brings back great memories. My classic was a 64 Impala.
