1973 Chevrolet Impala Sedan review from North America
"Tried, tested and a pure classic!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had numerous things with this to go against me. The Transmission needed replacing and that was in the first 4 months of owning this vehicle. I've got that replaced and its was pretty reliable now the suspension needs replacing and I'm in the process of getting that (suspension) repaired. I've the timing belt repaired and changed from points to electronic distributer.
The interoir needs work in the front seat other than that its flawless and the sun has damaged the dash board multiple cracks. But Overall I love this car its my favorite model. I plan to paint it and get 22 inch wheels and chrome it out after all her name is "Louise" and she is worthy!!!
I also have put Flow-masters Dual Exhausts on it she sounds great!!!
General comments?
A good overall buy its rich in history and style.
Its reliable and if properly maintained can be passed from generation to generation.
Its big and roomy, but you are going to need AC because she draws heat I live in Florida!!!
The Body is good all chrome is show room no rust just a little on the roof, but no leaks.
