Thank for all the posts
Thats what we hope to do, the 300 was rebuilt 3-4 years a go do it should run but we had a dead cell battery and the fuel line and tank have rotted out. so we have to try and get that fixed. I have been told when it runs its one of the loudest little V8s you have ever heard. Factory (probably rusted out) dual exhaust lol
yeah but a $4 buck a gallon I would rock it too once in a blue moon lol
Except on a rainy day the roof leaks kind of bad. But wouldnt be bad but like i said 4 bucks a gallon can add up fast when the car gets like 10mpg. But its a project so we will see what happens
Weren't the horizontal speedometers pretty common in back then??

If I were to make it a daily driver, I'd drop in an FI 3.8 or 4.3 and modern trans....a GN 3.8 turbo would be a blast in that.
I wish it were in Texas..I would seriously buy it..

That series B-body was an rattletrap abomination Especially after the tight and crisp and I thought one of the best looking Chevvies ever.. 1964 Fullsize.
My dad bought a 66 Impala new and that was the last Chevy he bought {other than S10}
He traded it at 4 yo for a 1 year old Marquis Brougham, Then an Olds Delta 88, then from then on.. Buicks.
On the other hand, any car, esp a full size, that old is a piece of crap so roll some Rust-oleum on it, and drive the hell out of it.
Added:
Lol.. had the feeling something wasnt quite right. That's an A-Body, midsize.. same as Chevelle and Cutlass. look at that doghouse.. no wonder you could shove a big block in there easy as pie!
The memory's going, I guess..
