I'm very aware that this is the same car driven by two teen heartthrobs on the idiot box. But I don't even care.

Beautiful...

ummm... don't they have the 68 four door? or are we thinking different programs?

Fine demo derby cars they are.

I had one identical to the car in the picture at top, minus the blonde. A 1963 super sport, floor shifter, 327/300hp...wish I still had her. Back seat big enough to haul around a baseball team. Repainted the exterior white. Always drew a crowd when I drove it. It was my semi-daily driver from 1986 until the mid-90's. When I bought the car, it had 87,000 on it. I drove it for a few years, then rebuilt the motor, and put another 100,000 on the car. The trunk was so big, I hauled the hood from my brother's 1976 Monte Carlo to the body shop in it, with the trunk lid closed.

My very first car, in 1969, was a 1963 Chevrolet Impala coupe, but not the SS. I learned a LOT about automobiles while keeping that car on the road, and I wouldn't trade those few years for anything. It was a great car, especially for the era; I put gas in it, and it went. I wish I still had it.

I had a 1967 Impala two door fastback. It wasn't really a hotrod, but a nice cruiser. It was still pretty quick though. We used it like a truck. We would load half a ton of presto-logs in the back seat. The other interesting thing is it would get 9 miles to the gallon on regular and twelve with premium. That more than offset the cost of the higher grade.

My neighbor had a 1965 four-door hardtop (?!) With just a 283 four barrel it would pass other cars while climbing Snoqualmie Pass with six passengers and their luggage.

Seems the general consensus is the '60's or early 70's. Same with Chrysler and Ford, for the life of me I can't figure out what happened? Maybe it has something to do with removing asbestos from buildings or lead from plumbing.
