1964 Chevy Impala

Posted on March 12, 2012 | 7 Comments

From Matt: What a classic piece of metal. That car was huge , with a powerful engine and built like a tank. Let’s say that car was left in a garage for 16 years. Along comes my mechanic( Mark Trapp) who is an expert in his field. His eyes are huge as he looks at this car and is thinking where do I start?  He opens the hood and all of the parts are there. He performs a diognostic test and the results do not fair well. There is a lot of work to be done and he needs to put a plan together that will get this tank running again. He returns with an intense look about himself and tells me that with alot of hard work, determination and the right attitude, there is no reason that we cannot get this car running again like it did 16 years ago. Well my friends, we are entering week six and my mechanic has got the engine started. There still is a ton of work to be done to get it out on the street, but the engine is running and it is feeling good.

    What a great story. I think maybe I would have been a Ford Mustang!
    1964 was a great year for both of us! Keep up the good work. Yes there is work to be done but us “64″ ers can do it.
    Go Matt!

    The truth is, all this classic machine ever really wanted was the open road, some great fuel, and to be driven and maintained with some attention now and then. High performance machines are meant for the open road, not the garage right?
