btw to avoid confusion, it is a 1968 shape impala, but was sold new in 1969 and registered as a 1969 model, however if you know your impalas you'll know the 69 has quite different front and rear ends, hence the 69 chev plates on a 68 shape impala:)

Maybe this is the one I saw at Willeton a few weeks ago?

Welcome aboard Trav. Personally I hate knowing how my old cars are fairing, especially if you see them on a regular basis..

Barry might know someone who's looking for something like this as he was asking after another one in the Spotted Thread.

i am unable to view the pics..is there another way i can c them? sounds interesting...

[muggz]

Sorry Nicolette you maybe nearly a year too late? maybe best to PM the seller for updates. :)

[DR30]

i havn't heard from dave in a while
give him a buzz on 0407422012 and see if he still has it, tbh i'd be surprised if he did, most people keep them if they can't sell after so long:)

[DR30]

i havnt' spoken to him for a while now, i left his number in my previous post if you want to find out
i wish everyday that it was mine again
hopefully he decides to keep it for another 6 months so i can buy it back then haha

[Russ]

There's a good chance it did get sold. It was listed on Carsales etc around the same time as this thread was started. Was up for a month or so, then disapeared completely.
