Re: older impalas

A friend of mine has one, but it recently caught fire and burned up. He's looking at another (an ex-cop car) because he loved it too. I saw one on a trip to Florida in the Tampa area that was painted like a cop car, but in pink and white instead of black and white. It had "bikini inspector" on the door, and purple roof light lenses instead of blue and red.

Re: older impalas

The original Impala was discontinued after the '85 model year.

I have a Caprice 9C1 (Police Package) from that timeframe.

Re: older impalas

I can get 24 easily with my old beater:



I find that for some reason the cruise control doesn't work out well for me, but I could probably do way better if I were to use it instead of playing with the fun pedal along the highway.

About 14 or so in the city, about 21-24 on the highway depending on how I drive and whether or not there's mountains. It's not bad for a big V8-powered brick. At least it's gotta be better than the car in my avatar - that's a genuine Phoenix Police car turned dragster, powered by a 502. The Phoenix Police dept. calls it "Blue By You".

Sweet lookin machine, Blue Bowtie!
