HollandNut,
I like the tombstone with a blue dot. It's a shame you had to put signals on it.
I ride a '56 chopped; got 237K on it.

HollandNut,
Got my ‘56 in 1975 and that’s its serial number. It was given to a retiring biker leo as a gift by the town and hard times in his retirement forced him to have to sell it.
The ‘56 replaced my ‘57 I bought in ‘67. I had 1936 knuckle and I think that was the first V twin HD made. Enjoyed racing the 45” flathead trikes on the dirt and loved the tank shifters.
Thanks for igniting some memories.

Last car project I worked on.
http://bonnevillestreamliner.com/wp-...74-800x221.jpg
I made the chassis, trailer and helped on a host of other odds and ends with Jack. Then I managed to get married and moved North, so never got a chance to drive it and get in the record books.
I love all those old MoPar's!!! Time was that's what I'd have. Now I'd take the Lotus.
No Lotus but here's my couple of roadsters.

Daily drive is a plain ol' Dodge pick-up.
A close friend needed money and I wanted his 41 year old truck.
I just brought her home tonight and gave her a well needed scrub.
She had been sitting outside for the last year, unused and never washed.

Jon, slick ol' Chevy. My oldest son's first vehicle was a 71 Chevy PU.
This is my daily driver. 1968 Chevy Malibu 2 door sports coupe. My wife's aunt bought it new and drove it untill 1979. At that time my wife was expecting our second child and our only transportation was a Kawasaki moyorcycle. She took pity on us and said I could pay her $200.00 for the car on account. ( on account we were dirt poor, bring home pay was $75.00 a week ) She did us a really big favor that I'm still grateful for. I had to promise her I would take real good care of the car , she wanted it to go to a good home.
So for the past 33 years I have been keeping my promise. I drive it every day and when something breaks I get it fixed. 6 years ago we got new paint, Fathom Blue with a white top and new pearl seat covers , just like when new. The 307 V-8 has been modified just a bit, but that was necessary to keep it on the road. ( couldn't get leaded gas any more or a new 2 barrel carb. its got a 4 bbl. now ). Transmission is a 2-speed automatic Power Glide, that transmission is factory original and never been worked on or needed any repairs. About every 5 years I drain the fluid and replace it with fresh . And it doesn't leak any fluids on the driveway like some older cars. My only problem is trying to stay out of the path of all the idiot drivers we have around here, if I can keep her out of a serious wreck we will be o.k.
The photo's show the color as almost black but it is much prettier. It is a dark metallic blue , the metallic base coat has a rainbow metallic undertone with teal , reds , greens and golds . This color is not often seen as the lighter metallic blues are more common. This paint job also has a clear coat which seems to make it appear darker. It originally had a white vinyl roof but extreme rust under it caused that option to be removed and painted instead.

gw, great survivor car!!! Congrats sir and kudos to you!
Nice wish it was mine!
I bet that would be unsettling to tow, looking back at the barrel through the rear view mirror!
Even better if you tow it barrel facing the rear. You'd NEVER have anyone tailgating you. Or driving behind you for 1/2 mile!
Well I traded the Zuk in on a new Victory and what a ride. We did 400 miles thru the Finger Lakes wine country with no fatigue what so ever. Test rode a few Ultras and settled on this. That is my old Zuk above the windshield, low and behold I didnt realize it was my last ride on her as this went home with me the same day.

Don't have this ride anymore, but he was one of my favorites.
I guess "the old guy" will have to let you see what old folks do with their spare time...I'll be 75 in a month and just can't get the "kid" out of my system...this thing is sort of "quick" for an old duffer... Me and "Mom" picking up a little hardware...57 half ton 3100 Chevy..."interesting motor", built with aluminum heads and twin quads and lots of goodies....5 speed TKO 500 manual with o/d and an Eaton Posi 4:10 rear...all modern underneath..we don't haul much in it.
I adopted a new toy last month. The '96 Impala SS went to a new home.
I've wanted one of these since I was about 15 or so. Patience is a virtue right?

Usually the stripes are silver or gray but in the right light sometimes blueish.

The removeable roof panel is over rated. (not hair friendly)

Oh yes,.............it's a '13 60th Anniversary edition Grand Sport
Don't have a Harley, or a hotrod any more, but these run pretty good at nearly 400 HP. and a 4.30 rear ratio...Do miss having a Harley though..

Is this the fuel cap?
Seeing as I only seen 1 other old Impala in the thread I'd add mine, not as old as the white 63 but it's old for todays standards.
My dad and I put this together after I graduated college. My parents owned it since 1983. It had a ton of miles and needed lots of work. Here is my 1976 Impala Custom. The last of the big ones.http://castboolits.gunloads.com/imag...02c99ca08f.jpg

It pulled my former boat extremely well.
http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/q...P/DSC00898.jpg
Wow !
I had to sell it when I took a 6 figure pay cut out of jealousy and power trip of others. I will get another one in a year or so I hope. I still have all of the fishing stuff. LOTS of stuff. When I cleaned it out I had 25 rod and reels in it. One for dang near any application I needed. I spent quite a bit of time on the water in that rig and it even had satellite stereo. The first Christmas Day I had it I was on South Holston Lake in TN and was running 66 mph thru light snow. I changed out the CPM on the motor from 250 to 350 and it would run in the low 70's. I wore a helmet if running over 60 because my eyes would water.
You be a fisherman for sure Beau.
I was until selling the boat. Once everything settles down I plan on getting another one just not as expensive.
I've never fished South Holston. Is that a white bass lake?
I have never caught a white bass out of there but I am sure there are some there. I hear it is a killer smallmouth lake. Somebody caught a 9 lber a few years ago fishing docks. I personally have never had good luck there. Also, there have been some vehicle break in problems at one of the main ramps. Since it is so far out in the county the SO doesn't patrol out that way much and the mongrels know it. The lake is very deep and clear. I have seen 202 ft depth at one spot on the south end of the lake.
