Joe and Cynthia Schultz '66 Impala SS Herron, MI
This '66 Impala was actually originally purchased as just a $2,500 parts car for a couple different projects Joe Schultz was working on: another '66 Impy SS and a '59 Chevy Viking 60 truck. The more he pondered it though, the more the running 396ci car with its hard-to-find factory tach and floor console began to look like it had potential. It would certainly be cheaper and easier to pull together than the Viking. The final temptation came in the form of our own call for "Reader's Project Wanted" in the March issue; the Impy was officially moved up in status from parts to project.
