1978 Chevrolet Impala 2 door coupe review from North America
"If it works, STICK WITH IT!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In over 10 plus years of owning this car, I can't think of too many negatives. In essence, the car is 22 years old, and I have had to replace many of the original parts that have gone out, but that's basic maintenance, but given the excellent condition of the car, and it's dependability through the years, and the fact that it IS PAID FOR, it's been WELL WORTH IT! The one BIG negative about the car is, it keeps going, and going, and that's good, but finding remanufactured body parts for this year car is something I wish would get going, and going!
General comments?
The Chevrolet Impala has always been my "Dream Car", and in many of the quality years the car has given me, the reality is, the car has been a dream to own! Bottom line is, I wanted to drive what I like, and to this day, I like what I drive!
