FRSGUMP's 1963 Chevrolet Impala

FRSGUMP's 1963 Chevrolet Impala

This is one I found in the weeds behind an elderly lady's house.  I ended up buying it for $300.  Went thru a divorce shortly afterwards and ended up selling it "cheap" to my brother for $1500.  It had a 327 with a two-speed hydramatic.  Didn't have the time to enjoy this one.  My brother has since sold it and suspects that it may be a lowrider in the area of Sheridan, or Federal Blvds,,,near the westside of Mile High Stadium.

FRSGUMP's 1963 Chevrolet ImpalaThis is a 97 Gran Prix GT I once had.  90% plastic.  It looked great, but all kinds of (plastic) little things kept screwing up on it.  I HATE PLASTIC !!!

FRSGUMP's 1963 Chevrolet ImpalaI tried going the "leasing route" by trading in the 97 Gran Prix GT for this one.  A 2005 Pontiac Vibe.  Only had it for about a month.  Had about 1000 miles on it when my (ex)wife lost her job.  Now she was earning more than I was at the time, which meant we needed to make an immediate cut in our budget in order to get by.  Tried to sell it for taking over payments, but got no calls.  I had to end up taking it back to the dealership and explained things to them.  I didn't get my trade back either.  GMAC ended up saying I owed $8000 on it, but there was NO WAY I was going to shell out that kind of money and have NOTHING to show for it.  Just because I put my signature on a few papers.  This case caused me to file bankruptcy before they garnished my wages and/or bank accounts.  You see what happens when a guy tries to make his wife happy?

FRSGUMP's 1963 Chevrolet ImpalaThis is a 1976 Cherokee Chief I bought for $1000.  Got me thru a few snowstorms in the Denver traffic.  Had to replace the water pump twice for some strange reasons.  That black spray paint is hiding a few rusty spots.  Had a black interior.  Gave it to one of my brothers as a Christmas present one year.  I liked this one.

Sorry about cramming all these into one page, but I can only have twenty in my garage and I've still got a few more to share with you all. 

Check this out.  If you're a "car guy", you'll like this video.  (may need to copy and paste this link)

Hey, nice Impala you had there, should have got rid of it.... it looked nice and for $300 what a steal!! I like the old classics.... new cars are just for transportation, old cars are to cruise and enjoy..... go get another one!! :) 5 stars for your rides, come by and check out my 59 Dodge sometime.
