Check this HEAVY CHEVY – 5000lbs on a Mission!
This Impala is loud as F*@%! It’s one of the most DEAFENING pump gas cars we’ve seen this year at both Street Car Takeover – St.Louis as well as Drag Week.
The Impala was Chevrolet’s most expensive passenger model through 1965, and had become the best-selling automobile in the United States.
For its debut in 1958, the Impala was distinguished from other models by its symmetrical triple taillights, which returned from 1960-96.
The Caprice was introduced as a top-line Impala Sport Sedan for model year 1965, later becoming a separate series positioned above the Impala in 1966, which, in turn, remained above the Bel Air and the Biscayne.
The Impala continued as Chevrolet’s most popular full-size model through the mid-1980s. Between 1994-96, the Impala was revised as a 5.7-liter V8–powered version of the Caprice Classic sedan.
Weighing in at nearly 5,000 pounds – you probably wouldn’t expect this Procharged TANK to pull the front wheels, and bust out an 8 second pass! But it did with ease – and looked good doing it. Major props to the owner – who’s been racing this beast since the 90’s!
