4 Generations working on the same Chevrolet, restoring a 1958 Impala
From time to time you come across a story that has real appeal , and this is one of them. A son helping his aging father to complete a 1958 Chev Impala that he purchased in 1977.
For the full and well documented story of this "father & son" project please open the link below to an amazing read

And to add a bit more family history to the story, the service manual used to work on the Impala has so far been passed down through 3 generations.

When our Vintage cars were new - The much loved Sydney Harbor Bridge
Chris from Sydney sent me this the other day, a great video showing the construction of the Sydney Harbor bridge. The most well known bridge in OZ and a major tourist attraction.

1927 Chev 1/2 Ton Truck, a great project
Found this on eBay, has the makings of a great 27 truck, with a lot of the hard work already done.

This is a project car / truck by a gentleman that passed away.
It looks like he was meticulously restoring it.
Unfortunately we don't know much about it. From a forum , some have said it was a 1928 others 1927 or a mix of both to make a good car.
I have taken a lot of photos so you can get a good idea of what is there.
But I HIGHLY recommend your viewing it (by appointment) before bidding.
Please bid accordingly it is SOLD AS IS WHERE IS.
Actual mileage is unknown. The odometer is probably not the correct one for this car.
I only put 50 because I had to enter something for eBay to continue the listing.
No cashiers checks etc that the scammers normally use.
You must have someone with the cash or pay on paypal, USPS postal money order by the time of pickup.
