The car still rides well after 30 salty Canadian winters.
No bodywork required when repainted in 1998. Still no rusting as of Feb/2008.
Pinging was removed in 1992 with the installation of an adjustable distributor vacuum modulator.

I agree with this survey very much. Car very reliable and still a head turner after 30 years. Needed minor body work, and suspension work at 200000 km pretty good for another 30 year old Canadian Impala. Long live the box Chevy's.
