My wife picked these up at a garage sale and we can not figure out what they are. Any help would be great]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/160333/66-impala-not-driven-for-2-years-what-to-do-before-i-try-to-start-it Wed, 02 May 2012 23:14:57 +0000 SoCalCarrie 160333@/forum/discussions
Out of the blue, I've found myself with this Impala sedan. A friend was in a bind and was about to sell it to a salvage yard for $665. I thought what a shame, and decided to offer him the money and tow it home instead.

He had driven it regularly until, one day, he needed the battery for another car, removed it, and let the Impala sit in the driveway for 2 or 3 years. I've tinkered with an old Mustang before, but I'm a novice, and have no idea what to do (fluids, plugs, etc.) prior to attempting a start.

This is all I know about it:

Tires are flat
Needs a battery
Needs body work on one side, and rust areas taken care of
Front bench should be reupholstered
Needs a re-key on one door

Second question: If it runs, is this worth restoring? Or is it worth more as parts?

Thanks!
Carrie

I filmed a Chevrolet Impala parked in the street here in Katoomba, Australia yesterday. I put the video on youtube. I'd just like to know which year the Impala is and if it is any sort of special model, so I can put in the proper identification on the Youtube page

I am looking at getting a 67 chevy Impala, and I had a few questions for you guys.



The Impala I am looking at getting has a 327 Engine, that will most likely need to be replaced, and a 2 speed automatic transmission, again most likely will need to be replaced. so, here is my question, would it be possible to put a 4 speed automatic tranny onto the 327 Engine, or am I stuck with the 2 speed? if so, how much does a new/rebuilt 4 speed tranny cost?



any other information any of you may have on the car will also be greatly appreciated, thanks]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/100838/for-sale-1957-chevrolet-wagon Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:28:43 +0000 billjharris 100838@/forum/discussions

My friend lived next-door to a retired Chevy dealer in Kansas who told him about '56 Vette pedal car giveaway that sold more full-size Chevy's than any other promotion at the time. Kids would drag their parent into the showrooms and the salesmen would take over. Not all dealers could get the junior Vette's and the ones outside the big cities had to pull strings with the corporate boys. A fascinating piece of GM history.

Found a mint-in-the-box set of four pristine auto seat covers, complete with instructions, wrench, etc. The instructions are marked 1955. They can fit two door or four door sedans. I suspect this is a great find, but I'd love to know more about them before I list them.



I can't find anything similar online, i.e. original vintage car seat covers. (All I could find was a repro set at over $1,000). Are these for Chevrolets? What maker/model/year will they fit besides 1955? What info should I include when I sell them? What sort of value are we looking at? My guess is that someone who restores classic cars would dig these. Totally original from the 50s, never used. Thanks!

The engine serial number behind the distributor is X805603 and I don’t know how to interpret the engine numbers. I’m trying to confirm the date the engine was made. I’m wondering if it’s possible that GM put in a 216 either by mistake or they didn’t have a 235 to put in at that time. The engine needs rebuilding and if it is the original engine I will rebuild it and re-install it. If it is not the original engine I’ll junk it and install a 235.





Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.



Thanks,

Oh yeah, no engine or transmission! They were stolen years ago from the garage. The interior definitely needs work too although the dash looks good. I don't think I will have the time/money to restore it. I am wondering what I could get for it. If I sell it, what do you think I should expect to get?]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/80712/1955-chevy-oil-canister Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:16:08 +0000 heavychevy 80712@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/80115/1956-chev-horn Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:37:19 +0000 Chuck G 80115@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/74912/hi-new-here-a-q-57-chevrolet-wagon-gas-tank-removal Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:00:43 +0000 57ChevyWagon 74912@/forum/discussions Hi,



My name is Jack-57ChevyWagon. I am new here and have a question about my 1957 Chevrolet 210 Townsman 6 passenger station wagon.



Before I acquired this car, it had been garaged for at least 20 years in the US east coast climate. The car now resides with me on the west coast in CA, when I put some gas in the tank, I found there were a few leaks so the tank was immediately drained, filler tube, straps and sending unit removed. The cold weather and 51 years must have rusted the inside of the tank, so it's time to replace it.



My question is: The tank will not slide down past the differential and I wanted to know if there is something I am doing right. I have tried everything possible, there is a spare tire area, but it is part of the body and can't be removed. It seems to be a easy but tricky removel for me.



In all my years of working in auto wrecking yards and dismantling cars, this is a first for me, so I am asking for any help/advice in this matter. Let me know, it would be most appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

Jack-57CW
