pH Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I took this picture locally today. It's a Chevy Impala coupe with a 427 Cu. In. engine. I didn't take any more details at the time, but since I've tried to identify it further, I've a suspicion that it may possibly be something a bit more exclusive than that. I'll leave it to people more knowledgeable than myself to say exactly what it is. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastairq Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 .....and paused at a give way as a pedestrian crossed the road! Very gentlemanly villain! Not to mention the poor old Austin A40 that got chopped up twice, from different directions? Is it my sound system, or does that Volvo sound awfully rough? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_20180615_180147789.jpg Possibly a 1963 Impala SS Z11 but the badge behind the front wheel should just have the two flags. I don't like the wheels either.

steve1 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Spotted on the road this afternoon while I was driving back from the dump (no camera): - one of those open wheel, space frame devices with a massive wing on the back - a perfect condition Wolseley 1300 in dark gray. Not seen one of them in years. steve 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
