A lot of standard impalas are owned by people who first got interested

>boomers would ignore fullsize Chevys with a Small Block

They would when they can do up novas and camaros instead.

>>16714332
yes you are

I'm not the one who had to make a thread validating your interest in lowriders to complete strangers on the auto section of an anime image board

Think about it if you wanted to restore a luxury car you would go for a more high end car like a cadillac.

If you wanted a performance car you would not go for the biggest heavy family man style car.

You would go for something smaller and sportier like a nova or at least a malibu.

But impalas were saved because back in the day they were kinda stylish, very affordable, looked bigger and longer when dropped on lower wheels and a body shape that was perfect for adding murals to.

You're talking to two different people.

Plus Latinos and Blacks prefer four door cars. I'm not being racist, it just a cultural preference. And low riding is about going slow, not fast

i owned a 66 impala ss and now a 67 caprice, which is quite like the impala in this year and i love it to death and will restore it

No one hates lowriders apart from buttpained 4channers with inferiority complexes that reject anything associated with non whites.

You see a lowrider on the street and usually it's a beautifully restored classic car that almost everyone will appreciate

>beautifully restored
Frame all cut up, suspension destroyed, stops all traffic at speed bumps and driveways, stance is cancer.

>>16715726

>frame all cut up

I urge you to look at the undersides of some of these cars

>stops all traffic at speedbumps and driveways

Do you even know what we're fucking talking about?

>>16715726
All your opinion, not fact. Get the stick out of your ass

>>16715726
As someone who owns a '66 caprice that is about to go air ride and lay frame, you're a fucking moron. You don't have to even touch the frame of these cars, and for $10k you go to art morrison and buy a fully updated modern frame.

>>16715854
>buy a new frame!
That's a lot of work to fix a fucked up car. Even donks are easier to restore.

>>16715910
Unless some moron got ahold of a car and fucked the frame, or it's been wrecked, there's nothing that involves molesting these things frames you moron. The body will rot out long before the frame, lowering them requires nothing but cutting some spring pockets in the front end IF you go air ride.


>buy a new frame!

Yeah, a small amount of money for improved handling ride quality and opens up the doors to an already large aftermarket suspension options.


>thinks 10k for a frame is a lot of work
>doesn't realize the floor pans, rockers, front/rear window seals, firewalls, trunks, etc are usually rusted out anyways requiring extensive repairs
>things like original grills can be $1000+ because there is no repo's or the repo's are absolute shit
>things like fenders are 6+ months backordered because taiwan is shit at repo, and even when/if you get your repo parts they're garbage and will never align to the body

>>16714311
Truth.

I'm one of them. Had a few lowriders (g body, Lincoln) and by the time I could finally afford an impala I was over the hydraulics, etc.

Now I have a stock impala ss

Are you retarded?

How many blacks do you see with a four door unless it's a cheap 90's car?

They want two door impalas and two door cadillacs.
