rev up your engines
welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods and here's this week's winner
1967 four-door Impala black I haven't had this car for very long I've had it
for maybe three months it came from Florida to Europe here's a flashback
from when I first laid eyes on the car it was delivered home right to my door
like any other car you buy it always has minor defects like a million of them and
they have to be addressed some defects larger than others the first week when I
drove the car the rear brakes locked three times twice in the middle of the
road and I couldn't for the love of God move the car and one of those times it
ran out of gas at the exact same time so I had to leave the car go away and
siphon some gas fuel it up and force it off the road don't you love cars
when I got it the carburetor was miss adjusted and the engine timing was off
completely off so it was guzzling gas like crazy and the first week I ran out
of gas like three times and I had to walk a lot and after a few months work
it was great and sounds fantastic
so let's take a look around the car when I got the car didn't have corner lights
or bumper guards I added those later together with a new distributor a new
dash cluster, the dash cluster that was in the car was digital and looked
absolutely horrific it did not belong in that car so we threw it out and replace
it with an original 1967 dash cluster and speaking of minor faults and defects
this is my first drive with the car and the horn was honking all the time
I was too stubborn to stop and was running really bad I'm not a big fan of
having the bass in the back but if you want good sound you you just have to
accept that there's a lot of air that needs to be moved back in 1967 the
speakers weren't really that great so we have to give and take so we get the
sound fixed pretty recently maybe two weeks ago fix the horn there's
a blanket for my dog pretty nice interior
it always looks better on camera but still pretty nice here's the engine it
makes the car go the engine in this car is a 350 Chevy engine so someone has
some point replaced the engine
because these 67 did not count with 350 engines been known for extreme
durability and not breaking down every five minutes after some tweaking it runs
great sounds fantastic people complement the sound more than the cars look and
that's true
my dad used to drive impalas so I thought I might as well step in the same
footsteps for a car from 67 it handles surprisingly well I figured
that maybe when I get to 90 or 100 km/h who will start to feel very unstable I
got up to over 150 km/h before I felt the need to slow down so what about the
future the future plans for this car is to it during the winter is to restore
the entire underside of the car and the next winter restore the interior and
some smaller things here and there and last but not least engine and gearbox so
that's it the journey has just begun thank you very much for featuring me on
