Hello from Switzerland,

What I read in your posts, I think it is a good idea to keep our
'64 Impala SS 409/425 hp. We own this car since 1967 when my father
bought this Chevy with very low miles. The car was as good as new and it
is still in very fine condition. Once the engine had to be replaced, but it is not as many times seen some kind of Chevy V8, it was again a 409/425 hp.
So this is the only aspect that purists would not be so happy about.
On the other side the car is all original, even the carpets are extremly good.
And it drives like new. All the time garage kept, a second owner car.

Like hearing these stories where the car stays in the family for a long time.
That 409 is a keeper too.
And 59 more cubic inches than our ZR-1s!

Reminds me of this Beach Boys Song:
Shes real fine my 409
Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
When I take her to the track she always turns in the fastest times
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409

Reminds me of this Beach Boys Song:
Shes real fine my LT5
Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my LT5
When I take her to the track she always turns in the fastest times
My six speed 32 valve LT5

That sounds better!
