It needs polyurethane bushings all the way around. Like I said before, the interior needs some work. Jimmy...nice Imp! I always liked the front valance on the Impalas. I looks like it might have lows miles judging by the brake pedal. (I could be wrong)
yeah the miles are lower. it has about 80k now, it has 50k when I got it. I drove it threw a few Michigan winters, it has zero rust when I got it. I kick my self all the time over that one.

FYI the frames on these are near identical to the last body style of b-bodies. For example my car has 94-96 Impala SS eibach lowering springs, KYB shocks, rear lower trailing arms for a caprice c91, with big heavy duty sway bars. I will tell you what you can make these things handle like they are on rails.
