1967 Chevy Impala: A Rottweiler of a Car

In a time when muscle cars were epic and proved you were a man, none had much room. The 1967 Chevy Impala changed that. Some will even choose to call it a family car not a muscle machine. Those people have most likely never got a chance to drive such a car. With a V-8 6.5 liter engine, its maximum powers reaches up to 4800rpm. Imagine going from 0 to 60 in only 9.10 seconds and reaching ¼ of a mile in only 17 seconds. That doesn’t sound like just a family car anymore now does it? This is a car that when you pull up next to a vehicle of old people they all lock their doors. If that scares you from driving one, well it shouldn’t. The safety of this beast is top notch. One of the major safety add-on they had was a fully collapsible energy absorbing steering wheel column. In addition to that The 67 Impala also had side marker lights, and shoulder belts.
The Chevy Impala’s where always American made beauties, but the 67 jaw dropper screamed “Love me”. From the moment you see the slick silver grill, you’re eyes passionately moves to the lights, then across the smooth, seductive body. This eye candy will leave you so entranced; you’ll almost forget to blink. You’re heart will start racing as you vision yourself sliding into the leather seats, then you can feel yourself running your hands over the steering wheel, next you feel like time has stood still as you turn the key and hear the music the car makes as it turns on. The last thing you feel is the raw power as you press the gas, it’s enough to keep you obsessed and begging for more. The 1967 Chevy Impala is the perfect mix between dream beauty and raw monstrous power.
