I am thinking of a 66-68 Impala, my father is a mechanical savant, I have people that can do body work, what am I getting myself into?

66 1300 obo

I want it to look like this when done

and yes, that is the car from supernatural, it would be a surprise for 2 ladies that are fans of the show, I am hoping they are fans of the show for the car :(

I enjoy the looks of the impala for 2200. Matters how the whole car looks. might be nice but you could spend an immense amount of money in just the interior of the car. Needs to be a well rounded car or expect to spend a lot of money on finding parts.

I am leaning towards that as well, here is the ad.

they say it's a rebuilt engine

as far as interior, I think I can get that for reasonable from the guys who did the restaurant, if not, seat covers!

I just found this. Dont know if you want more of a motor or not. But looks like a good base to start with. http://maine.craigsl.....39208.html
