This time, however, Rhonda, I would suggest that you re-scan through this one as there is one spot where you meant to say "shift" and you left out a key letter.<br /><br />Otherwise, the blog is beautiful as always!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136856533329478197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-65324562112418677362018-12-13T14:46:51.879-05:002018-12-13T14:46:51.879-05:00Loss of the Impala is part of a sad parade of grea...Loss of the Impala is part of a sad parade of great American automotive names and icons, including Pontiac and Oldsmobile.

A “Special Super Turbo-Thrust” engine (348) that delivered 315 horsepower. The only 3-2 I ever remember as stock.

Wish I had taken the lady up on the offer... Didnt know jack... I see similar at various car shows, and wonder if it was the same car... <br />I wish I still had my 1970 Cutlass/442 with the 455 ci. engine and Hurst shifter, Red paint with black interior/bucket seats/vinyl top. Paid $2400.00 for it in 1972. Gas was $0.24/gal the day I bought that car. then fuel prices rose... It drove me to the poor house, just feeding it. But it was a fun trip to the poor house.... ;-) Velma Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-26154171535788961292018-12-10T12:50:53.329-05:002018-12-10T12:50:53.329-05:00That's sad.
