1978 Chevy Impala Wagon
350 c.i. engine (out of the 81 Malibu) - paid $00.00 (free car)

The previous owner of the car pulled out the engine, trans, radiator ect...
I pulled the motor out of last years Malibu and installed it in the wagon.

Since the car was free, I spent my money on a new starter, new waterpump, new hoses, new belts and a new aircleaner.
I notched the frame and dented the roof to try and make sure the back end goes up.

I drew a tough heat and got creamed. In spite of my efforts to make the back end go up, it went down.
Ended up busting a driveshaft. The back end was in such bad shape, that I sold the car for scrap ($30).
