History
Bought this car in January 2017 from a dealer in Pompano Beach. I have been wanting a car from the same year as me since I could drive, and I've always liked Impalas (my 1st car was a 1973 Custom), so I decided to finally buy one while I could still enjoy it! It was built in the Atlanta plant at Doraville, Georgia and sold by McCarley Chevrolet in Bowden, Georgia. It spent almost it's entire life in Graham, Alabama. I have the original sales receipt ($4,660.22), the original insurance policy, both build sheets & the Protect-o-Plate. It had the original Cragar SS on it, but came with the original painted wheels & SS hubcaps.

Modifications
Suspension
I'm in the process of getting Wilwood power disc brakes on the front w/ all new stainless brake lines run. Phase 2 will be power steering, AC & high capacity aluminum radiator.
Wheel and Tire
I bought new 15" wheels & tires so I could install disc brakes. I stayed with the Cragar SS and Goodrich combo. I installed the old spinners on the new wheels. 15x7 with 235/60s on the front & 15x8 with 255/60s on the back.
