Thanks Gentlemen for all the comments, the more I work on this car the more I love it. As you can hear in the video, the left side exhaust manifold is cracked and you can hear the exhaust leak and I have replaced the black shift knob for the correct chrome one.

Hey Jeff, what a great ride that is. Looks, power, and a conv. Sounds awesome, does it have chamber exhausts? Was not expecting that, wow, made my heart rate go up. Thanks Steve.

Nice car... 2 questions: is that black painted steering wheel shroud center and black horn buttons original? Would have thought an Impala SS would have a woodgrain shroud. Does the shifter handle not have "Muncie" stamped on the side?
Oh and #3. Is that exhaust original? i was told the tailpipes originally exited right behind the rear wheels on an L72 car, rather than extending to the bumper.

The trailer hitch was taken off in 1987 by the 4th owner from NJ, I would like to find another one to put back on, attached is a pic of what I need, the one bracket is still on the car. Last edited by 69L78; 06-11-2019 at 11:55 AM. |

As for the exhaust, look at the vintage pics from 1987, it clearly shows the rear exit. You will be at Carlisle, come look for yourself. Also attached are pics from the Sports Dept Brochure |

Thought that was the solids!

Well it is the solids, but it has a cracked manifold that is leaking and goes away once warmed up, I have it off now getting welded.
