Got a new car

Daveyboy · 26 Sep 2008 at 20:02

1962 Chevy Impala SS with 400 c.i. 6.6 litre V8

4 wheel air bag suspension by Rayvern Hydraulics

I'm thinking of getting some Dayton chrome 100 spoke wire wheels with stretched under-size tyres ~(just keeping it Compton!)

Car was imported from Kentucky around 3 years ago. Was originally an Ohio car, which is dear to my heart as I spent a year living in Ohio about 10 years ago. Funny to think that this car was only 20 minutes away from where I lived while I was there!

Also planned is an upgraded air ride with larger reserve tank for more bouncing action before the compressor kicks in and has to re-fill the tank.

More pictures to come of the interior and fabulous power plant!

Long live the Chevy V8
