How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?

I never asked him but I am sure he has pictures he loved that car. He said, "The Chicks used to line up to ride in that thang" Reminds me of Matthew McConaughey role aka (David Wooderson) and his big block SS 70 Chevelle in Dazed and Confused.

Two I recall are a 61 348 Tri Power 4 speed Impala SS and a 66 Chevelle SS, factory black L78 car. The drive train out of the 61 is still knocking around somewhere.

I'm guilty too...turned my '69 442 Post into a Stock car back in the 80's.
Haven't seen it in years but what's left of it's still out back of buddy's farm, original rear & swaybar also Vin & Cowl tags still affixed.

All those stripped-out track cars and modified street machines in the old days are why we have $5000 air cleaners and $400 valve stem caps today. Think about it. Today's &quot;unobtanium&quot; was often just parts we removed on Day 2 and threw into dumpsters.

Looks more like a 4 Dr Sedan, 300 emblem ......wow, even then 4 door stock cars were made to look like racing coupes. ..... NASCAR history ?

as a kid, pre-teen I had to walk over and ON Dad's discarded Corvette Fuel injection units, air cleaners , even the aluminum louvered air cleaners.....to walk through the basement not to mention the garage.....geez..

Once we took one of Dad's hoods,, a '58 Corvette louvered hood, split the skin off the frame and Made Us A 'Sled' for the driveway winters and hillside !!! The louvers, I think slowed us down as the '55 Chevy Hoods 'were faster' yet hurt like hell when they ran us over......Duh..

The Malibu looks like it was a 4 door sedan. The '61 is pretty cool.

Oops... someone already said it was a more door.

Exactly and attrition. Wrecks, things like that made them what they are today.
