Re: Garage Find? Dad's '67 Impala

I hear you on the wagon, they are gaining popularity. I'm not restoring this car more like preserving it, since it is so original, I am only planning on replacing what I need for safety sakes. Those pictures show new radial tires that I bought for it as the originals were SUPER UN-Safe. The list of UN-original parts is way shorter than original.
Tires
All brake components will be new
Spark plugs
Fluids
Ignition
Fuel line may need replaced
Fuel sender needs replaced as the gas gauge spins like a clock
Clock needs rebuilt
May need new springs, but will definitely get new shocks
That's it, mostly just wear items +50 years.
Can't wait to drive it again, I only ever drove it one other time around 20 years ago with Dad having the ever watchful eye in the passenger seat @ 5 mph around the yard.
