1967 Chevrolet Impala

My first car as a 17 year old. My Mom paid $200. for this in 1988 as a surprise for me one day after school. It smoked like a chimney because the rings were shot and my Dad (mostly) and I rebuilt the motor. I eventually blew the engine on the freeway as I forgot to put in oil. I was always giving rides to car-less and money-less friends who always had cigarettes despite not having money for gas for a thirsty V-8. They'd offer cigarettes instead.....I' d ask them to light it before they put it in the tank. Sold it to a recycler for $35.00......and monopolized my parents cars!
