Dads car - great story

[scvs6]

This is a great story, I thought it was worth sharing.

Watch the video.
My Dad's car. [VIDEO]

Basically, this guys dad bought a brand new Chevy Impala, and he loved it more than anything. But then things were getting tough and he needed the money, so he had to sell it.

Now, his son has spent 5 years trying to track this exact car down, he still had the VIN number, and after finally finding it, he buys it for his dad as a surprise.


Thats just a brief description, watch the 5 min video.

[Hangman]

I'm gonna make my kids watch it a few times

I wonder if it's real or just an ad paid for by Chev.

I'm not sure, I was wondering that myself. But its a good story if its real. And I thought it was worth sharing.

[VE_Thunder]

Hey just watch the video, what an awsome story. i wonder if any of our kids will do that for us?

[Drawnnite]

i wonder if any of our kids will do that for us?

id love to do it for the old man.
every now and then we talk about his old 4dr HQ Monaro with a worked 308 that could do 90mph in 1st (powerglide box)
if i could ever track down this car (although its probably scraped. as its been 19+yrs since he had it) i would buy it for him.

[Jonno]

I'm still looking for dads old hq. not expecting to find it after this long but yeah. Haha

[TrikkBen]

That's great.

[MikeCuzzy]

Probably real, but I reckon Chevrolet probably found out about it while he was searching and helped him along, tis good publicity.

Wow 30 years later, several owners and not one imperfection.... Fake

It's ok, we are all entitled to our own opinions on this video. I actually didn't see anywhere where they said the car was still in flawless condition but anyway..

Seems legit guys:

Sons Reunite Dad With Cherished Car

But yeah, advertising for Chevy is 99% the reason they did it.

[MikeCuzzy]

Yeah, my bet is Chevy probs helped restore it in exchange for his help in the advertisement.

[FstStig]

But yeah, advertising for Chevy is 99% the reason they did it.

Doesn't nearly every P plater with a commodore advertise for Chevy anyway?

Awesome story if it really is real.

[tim005]

This is genuinely amazing, it gives me shivers....

[hi_ryder]

dont think they could make a holden one. the classics that are left have all been crashed by p platers.

Funny you say that cos' I pulled into the video store near my place the other day and I parked next to a VL with P plates on, and it was missing the whole front bumper.

I laughed

[scvs6]

Yeah but not all P-Platers are the same. I try to look after my cars and drive carefully and i'm sure theres others out there that are the same.

Oh how cute...you think a VL is a "classic"

[87RB30VL]

Oh how cute...you think a VL is a "classic"

6 more years and it will be considered one!

But yeah I meant that in an "older car" way rather than classics, like HQ's and whatnot

[detox_nath83]

this better not be ANOTHER thread with P-platers and open license holders sledging...

gr8 vid none-the-less.....isn't it beautiful

[sik_dose]

I used to have an old VR when i was 16. Wraped it round a tree even before i had a licence. About a year later I was in a local wrecking yard with my old man looking for a motor for my VN and sure enough there she was, bent in half. Such a great reunion.

Take a wild guess... Probably a true story but Chevrolet would DEFINITELY have been involved.
