This is a replica of the awesome 1967 Chevy Impala as driven by Sam and Dean Winchester in American TV series "Supernatural". Its one of only a few cars in the world that I feel looks better as a four door than the 2-door model. This car is a proper nasty looking American muscle car and looks extremely menacing on the road. It has a great stance and sounds incredible with its roaring V8. It has proper brand new 15 Cragar Chrome rims with deep dish on the rear and large BF Goodrich tyres to make it sit up and beg. <br />
<br />
The interior is a golden tan colour and has a new headcloth and fairly new carpet. All gauges work and both bench seats are good except for one small tear in the rear. Car has just been MOTd last month and passed first time. Chrome is all good, not show quality but still looks great. <br />
The paint on the car was done to give it a nastier look so a little flat with several imperfections like driver quality but not show. Although it was taken to the tin less than a year ago the car in the TV series was supposed to be a little rough around the edges so the previous owner wanted to reflect this in its appearance. Having said this it wouldn t take much money to get it up to show quality. It would certainly be worth doing if you re not a Supernatural fan and want perfection but it looks great as it is.<br />
The car is extremely solid and started its life out as a California Factory A/C 396/th400/12 bolt Caprice (higher Spec Impala). It was purchased by a Major in the Army in California and resided there until the late 80s, when it was brought to Texas. Actual miles on the frame and body are just over 99,000. The floor pans and chassis on the car are like new even the MOT guys were amazed at how clean and solid it is.<br />
The car was stripped down and had all the heavy lifting done mechanically:<br />

The car has had a new front end hardware kit installed in it. In addition virtually every nut and bolt on the underside is new. Nearly everything was replaced with Gold zinc plated hardware. This car is a true 4 link car as it was a factory Big Block car, and it has had impala bumper ends and taillight lenses installed. Most of the moldings and the chrome are driver quality, a few pieces are better than driver quality. It is a factory A/C, corner lights, and bumper guard car. The dash is not cracked, and the gauge cluster is in good shape.<br />
<br />
the car also had an internal regulator conversion done, allowing for a more reliable late model alternator. The alternator is for a 1984 trans am with an LG4 305 in it. The Power steering pump is for a 1974 Camaro with a 350 in it. <br />
<br />
The rear end was just serviced. Has factory highway gears (3.08) and cruises well at 80 mph. Use 80/90w<br />
<br />
The heat and a/c are not hooked up, but I will include all components that I have for the car. The trunk will be full of ALL the odds and ends I have for the car. <br />
