Hey all finally managed to get myself a new weekender/project, and managed to get the one i've been chasing for a few years now.
as mentioned it's a Black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, 4 door pillarless, as seen on the TV show supernatural.
payment is being organised as we speak, and i will be picking her up to take home in the coming day or so.
It is in really good condition and has had all major issues rebuilt, all rust has been replaced, all engine problems fixed/replaced along with carb, ignition etc.
and it has a new Chevy 383 stroker with only around 15 000 miles on it
new suspension, bushes etc.
has got alpine sound system and the only problem is some of the interior needs some attention
also has original plates and will be keeping them, am looking to keep it as original as possible interior and exterior wise
the car also comes with all exterior chrome trim ready to be cut and fitted
have got plans to install aircon, change the transmission(but keep the column shift), upgrade front brakes from drum to disk along with abs, new diff, upgrade the tailshaft and obviously tend to the interior
as for future future plans supercharger and upgrade to a big block are definitely top of the list once everything else is strengthened to handle it
would love to turn it into a show car
will take more detailed pics when she's at home but for the moment have got a couple to keep you intrigued
any help or advice on places to go in WA for parts, or people to talk to look forward to hearing from you all

Looks mint mate! , its my dream car too!
Oh #### yeah!!
Love it mate![]()
OH MY GOD!!! That is so awesome!!
I love the impala in Supernatural and pretty close. All you need are the copper searchlights on the A-Pillars..![]()
sweet car, old muscle is killa.
When in doubt, use FORCE
that wedding photo looks tuff as! nice project!
cheers mate, they certainly are a beautiful machine, never thought i'd end up lucky enough to grab one
cheers mate
haha yes! that is actually indeed my plan, would love to grab a set of them lights, and soon as i get the exterior trim on it, she'll sit just like supernatural, even comes with the rims they use in the show
cheers mate, adding an old HQ something to the list next
thanks mate, deffinately is, can't wait to get under the hood
hahadeffinately a good buddy to have, with that fountain of chevy/impala knowledge at your disposal, shame about the distance, a 66 and 67 cruisin side by side woulda been quite a site

Hey mate.. Where do you live? and would you ever 'accidentally' leave keys in your cars?
Jokes. Love it mate! Defiantly jealous.. I only watch super natural for the car :P
just throw up any q's you have on here. the boys are great and usually we will have enough info between all of us to get you going![]()
hahah don't think i'll ever be leaving her anywhere for an overly long period of time. cheers mate, supernatural is deffinately what spiked my love for this car
thanks matewell i've finally picked her up and shes home, only got one pic for the moment (below) due to weather she's been under the covers and i'll need to give her a wash when im back in town and will get some more pics for you all then.
first on the list is air con(wish me luck) then it'll be beefing up the trans with a nice hi stall to allow for a bigger cam, while funds build up for that will do some trivial things like applying the rest of the exterior chrome trim new mirrors as there is no left one and a few little interior fixes to keep me happy till i got the coin to get it retrimmed.
if anyone has any ideas on what i should be doing to the trans to get her ready for a nice big cam all advice is appreciated, especially for any air con units and such, would be greatly appreciated

so bit of an update, here's a picture of the engine bay, and a picture of some engine dress up that i'll be purchasing very soon
and the engine dress up to start tidying the engine bay up a little bit

with all those dress up parts at least every one will know it's a chevy, lol

So without sounding too rude. Im inclined to know what one of these beasts would go for in Aus?
Very impressive though mate.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
cheers mateis deffinately in the right colour for what it is, hate black though so goddamn hard to keep clean
this one would probably be more than other impalas due to the whole supernatural show but a fair bit more than what i picked it up for, seen similar ones go for around the 40 mark, only gets insure for f#ck all though
probably cheaper, and a lot funner, to find an ok or shitted out one and just redo it yourself

I love it mate you have a great looking car there

gave her a wash before a cruise on the weekend so anyway just a couple pics
deffinately needs a better clean, looking into prices for a 427 BBC
burnout spares
interior, deffinately needs some loving, getting quotes at the moment
colours, and most likely materials, i'll be doing the retrim in
