General comments?
This old car had extrodiany pwoer, til We all found out that the vehicle was an old cop cruiser. We purchased the car from and elderly gentlemen, who had thick glasses. The car was taken out on the Trans Canada Highway and my father had a thing about testing the car for slipage of the transmission and what not, the car handled superbly well. Hitting highspeeds in leaps and bounds. The car would hit a certian speed at very low RPMs. The sedan had rusted ad the engine still purred, the motor was put into three different vehicles after the poor old impala 's body ate itself away. canadian winters.
