Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

No, those wheels are made by a company called Prime. They were the wheels that were on the car when I bought it.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

Are you staying with white for the color? I have a 65 SS that is originally a 327 / powerglide car. Right now it has a crate 350, but I'd love to go to a BB. My buddy that I got it from had a 454 in it before I got my hands on it... HUGE difference!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

Very nice Impala! I know what you mean, I have a ford brother also. We tried to get him help (Chevy Orange blood transfussions) but the doctors said he was a lost cause.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

Very nice. My roommate in College had a 66 Impala SS Convertible with a 65 327 and a powerglide in it. Fun car to cruise around in. Love the look of yours, and can't wait to see it done.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

I love it. I have a '66 in the garage the doubles as a shelf. I've been collecting parts for it though. I just bought a yearone 400hp+ 350 for it. I can't wait to see more pics.

Nice car! This will definitely look good! My good friend has a 68 396 car that is white and is sort of a survivor. Who's corvette was that in the garage a few pages back?
