Everything about the Impala is lovely. Even the wheels and tires.

Great car! As you may know Carl scored it from Jim, near Carbondale. He also had a cool black '64 340 horse 4spd. time-capsule 409 - also from Jim - who I think may've acquired both cars via Bill & Richard Buxbaum?

That '62 flew on Carl's watch, too!

btw ... ace photog, Dave Newhardt, was busy sorting classic 'Vettes and other cool stuff in Jim's So. Illinois shop around this time ...

Our Dad sold the 62 to Jim in order to purchase a new 1981 Corvette 4 speed for our Mom at the time (he also sold an L78 Nova he owned with Bill S. but not to Jim). Jim is still around but living in Chicago suburbs now. I saw him this spring at a swap meet in Sandwich. Funny thing is even with the proceeds from the 62 and the Nova they had to come up with a bunch of money to purchase a new Corvette even back in 1981. While we got the 62 back we completely lost track of the Nova - as I recall it was an original drivetrain bench seat 4 speed car, gold with black guts. Supposedly sold to a kid in the Joliet area who repainted it black.

Since I can't get one project finished properly - in true car guy form I am going to start another one. This one hopefully more fun and not as complicated. Just ordered (5) 8.00 x 14 Goodyear Super Cushion 1" whitewalls from Rusty to replace the 13 year old radials on the 409. While we are at it we learned that factory full wheel cover cars (which this is) should have semi gloss black and not body color wheels (which it has now) no matter what the body color was - so the wheels will get repainted while they are off. Updates to follow - hopefully no scope creep on this one.

What beautiful car with an awesome history behind it!

The drag racing stories from the muscle car era are priceless.

Phase 1 of Operation Bias Ply was completed today.

Went down and took the wheels off and ran them to the local tire guy and had the tires dismounted. Thanks to Rusty we've got 5 new reproduction bias ply Goodyear 8.00 x 14 - 1" whitewalls ready to go back on.

Brought the wheels back and cleaned them up and blew some black paint on them as they should have been from the factory. Letting the paint cure a bit and will go back down in another week or two to get the new tires mounted.

Had a chance to get a warranty replacement battery taken care of as well and started up the car and let it run a bit.
