1966 L72 Impala In UK

[Stitch]

It was me that posted those pictures , it belonged to a friend of mine when they were taken around 1984/5 , I coulda bought it from him back then for £6000 ($12000) or his 70 Hemi Challenger for £5000 $10000 !! . As far as I remember he got it from a dealer who told him it had been left in the UK by a returning serviceman , the bumpers and hood in the pics were fibreglass , he kept the originals untouched. I helped him put a tunnel ram with twin 660's on it and iirc it ran a high 12 on street tyres.
I may have a couple more pics somewhere , I'll see if I can find 'em. Last I heard was that it had gone back to the USA .

Stitch / Ron! That was you that posted that?! Cool. I'm pretty sure right now it's in Oregon in storage. I saw the car just last year when I was visiting a friend who happens to own it. It wasn't until this morning that I was talking to another buddy and I thought wait a minute, the car in Oregon came from the UK and it had a sport mirror on the drivers door. So, I looked at the pics that I saved from your original post this morning and there's the sport mirror. It's gotta be the same car! I know the car has some paperwork with it, I'm just not sure what yet. Maybe some time slips. I'm going to try to convince my friend to restore it as a race car instead of stock since it has some race history. I'll have to ask if the bumpers are still fiberglass. Are you still in touch with your buddy? Any other info or pics would be great! I'll keep diggin' too! Thanks!



Woooo-hoooooo!
