Original 69 Impala 396 road test
Permalink  

Since our cars are the same underneath, I thought I'd post this. Pretty scary in stock form. Check out the left front wheel on one of the turns. I think the rim is touching the pavement! Car had front discs and the damn thing spun around on a panic stop. Something was surely out of adjustment. I guess I have some serious suspension mods to make if I swap to a big block!

I remember watching that show when I was a kid. There's lots of road tests from this show on Youtube.

Did you notice however that after all that slamming the final words were praise? Likely didn't want to offend the largest (at that time) company in the world!
