Hi everyone. Well, here’s a bit about me and my newest passion:
I had a 63 biscayne wagon in HS (‘72’) as my first car. Our family’s main car originally until Dad upgraded. Plain Jane, 6 cyl, but I loved that car. Fast forward four plus decades and I recently bought a daily driver 63 Impala wagon. 283, 3 spd. With overdrive. It’s been lowered w/dropped spindles, but that’s really it. I decided to search for a 409 and found one. 340hp. It supposedly has 40K on it and was said to have come out of a 64 wagon. QG, so that makes sense. It’s headed to the machine shop in a couple weeks for a thourough inspection, cleanup and whatever else it may need. Not sure what I’ll do for a tranny, but all in good time I guess. I’ll probably drive you guys nuts with naive questions and rookie ideas, but what the heck. I’m just loving this!
