This car is a valuable asset because it is rare to find an exquisite vintage car like this on the road. The man from The Netherlands certainly left a good name by crafting a sturdy car like this, which still exists in good condition up to this point. By just browsing these pictures and without looking personally at this car, I already commend the man from The Netherlands for crafting a fantastic job with the impala!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Patrick Gauerhttp://www.autoplanetusedcars.com/dealership/about.htm/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-19731736770052276692012-09-19T15:12:11.035-05:002012-09-19T15:12:11.035-05:00Yes, and when you realize that gasoline was only 2...Yes, and when you realize that gasoline was only 29 cents a gallon back then, that really puts it in perspective.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-52835827095250508502012-09-19T13:56:42.820-05:002012-09-19T13:56:42.820-05:00Wow, the price definitely swelled a lot, 35 years ...Wow, the price definitely swelled a lot, 35 years later.
