I had a 71 Impala station wagon. My ex smashed up my truck and I didn't have rental car coverage.(I was about 21). So I bought the wagon for 400 bucks. It was the special edition that included the worst faded out Earl Shieb paint job possible.

It was a great car and when my truck got out of the body shop I sold it for the same $400 that I paid for it. No rental car fees. My truck was in the shop for about two weeks so rental charges would have added up.

This is what it looked like, same color and everything except mine was all faded but the ole 400 ran fine.



I also had a 67 Impala and a 69 convertible. I wish that I still had them.
That wagon must have had the warranty work (overheated because of a 2-row radiator, and AC in the California heat) done (new, larger radiator and an engine rebuild) and the people just wanted it gone. Those things were famous at my dealership, for overheating. I remember one with a blued converter, it got so hot. I'm amazed that it actually hadn't caught fire.

One of our customers had a '69 SS 427 Impala convertible. It was drop-dead gorgeous, but it was only 3 years old at the time. It had a light color interior (I think "parchment?") and was a color that I would call "amethyst". Man, that was a nice looking ride. I went and looked up paint colors from '69, and that color wasn't on the list. Probably special order.

Curiosity got the better of me, I went and looked for the color. Cadillac "Wisteria Firemist". A pic-

What a car to rent. My Impala just floated down the road. Nothing better than putting the top down on a summer night and cruising it.

About the best car I ever rented was a Mustang GT convertible. I actually didn't rent it. My company did. They were short on vehicles so they got a contract with Enterprise Rent A Car so they would have enough cars to get everyone out the door. It was a pain.

I went to Enterprise with a guy from my crew. All they had left was the Mustang. My guy was all happy that he was getting the convertible.

I told him that he wasn't getting the convertible. I was. He could take my crummy truck. I'm taking the car. Rank has its privileges.

Hint: I'm wearing a surfer shirt, if you remember what those were. Two of us are wearing one. My buddy Jimmy Nine is wearing a red "Poderosa shirt". Remember those?

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Not an old picture of me , but a picture of old me. My Wife took these pictures on Thursday morning. First time I have ever been in 4 States at once. I drove around the 4 Corners Monument to park in Arizona just to say I drove through 4 States to get there.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

My wife took took this pic of an unfriendly guy that just woke up. Yeah. It's me. I don't wake up well. I should be glad that I still wake up at all. My drivers license picture is worse. I look like someone that you would see on the news as a serial killer or run away from.

Dang I'm getting old.

I hate to break it to you but this is my Jeep.



I didn't put it on there It was there when I bought the Jeep. I'm afraid that it might jack up my paint if I try to take it off or some Raiders fans might see me trying to take it off and beat the sh*t out of me.

I did go to a Raiders game once and survived.

Hey, I was a Raiders fan back in the 70s - 80s. Oakland Raiders and others before many of them began swapping towns.

My wife only turns off the lights to save electricity. That's what she told me and I believe it.

Ya know I'm just teasing! Looking better than Keith Richards isn't a compliment, though. My wife wants it dark, too. Hmm...

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

I don't dislike the Raiders. But if I saw a bunch of guys in Raider's jacket's walking up to me on the sidewalk in East LA, I'd cross the street real fast. I grew up in LA and I've been to Oakland. Nuff said.

But in all honesty. Dodger and Laker fans aren't much better. They can get a little crazy too. Everyone in California is crazy. I seem normal here. And that's saying a lot.

Just peel it off. If it messes up the paint you can put an Orioles sticker over it! He's a cute little bird
