Sort of like you can find the 2-door car for sale all over, but finding a 4-door in any sort of shape to restore is much harder. And of course, more expensive due to the rarity of the car and the body parts. Not...that I check periodically on ebay motors. Or anything.
Surprises are better, tiggy. It's been really hard for me, too, but we've made it this far, and now there's only another two weeks to go!
On page 7 of 9, the only four-door I've seen so far today. This one's not a trailer case, either, as most of them are.
two weeks. i can do two weeks.
DO IT, tiggy. Step AWAY from the spoilers.
You can do it, Tiggy!
Bev, I can't quite tell from the angle, but I think that may be the wrong kind of 4 door. Doesn't look like a hardtop.
The silhouette looks a little off to me, too, particularly the roofline in the back. But it was the *only* 4-door on offer today. The rest were SuperSports, two-doors, some convertible. Which, pretty, but not right.
You know, the wee'Pala is durn heavy. Particularly when it rolls off the desk and hits your bare toe. Owie.
tiggy, don't look! I had to unsub from spoilers and spoilers lite so that I'm not even tempted in my message center. And it helped that I've been away from LJ for a bit too. It will
so
be worth it. I'm not spoiled, I just have A LOT of hope.
I don't think anyone has ever made a 4 door model of that year
Certainly not that I could find before my kerfluffletta photo shoot. I had to search high and low just to find a 2-door model.
On errands the other day I passed a dinky old garage that's been on the side of the road since forever, a one-man op with an apartment upstairs. The last couple of years they've been working on stock racers, but I hadn't seen any cars or trailers around lately. This day as I drove by, I noticed a familiar rear end, thought "Nah! Just wishful thinking," but managed to tell out of the corner of my eye that whatever it was was painted black, and was a four-door. Drove by again today, and it was parked in the driveway to the side of the shop, a for sale sign in the window, nose out. Black. Four-door. '67. Impala. DH couldn't understand the hyperventilating.
When we came back past, it was gone, so it appears to be driveable. Unless someone already bought it and trailered it away. If it's still there in the next few days I may drop in and take a closer look--maybe even a picture or two, depending on the condition. I may ask if they've contacted the studio--who knows? They might need another car.
